CHARLES VOGLER PAPERS
Inventory
Abstract: Thirty-four letters written to Charles Vogler of
Salem, N.C., and one letter from him, most written
while Vogler was a student at the University of North
Carolina in Chapel Hill starting in 1905. Letters are
from his mother, aunt, and brother Herbert, and
chiefly contain family news from Salem. Letters
describe social events, illnesses, and the
performances and practices of a band in which both
Charles and Herbert Vogler played. Letters express
concern about Vogler’s health and the hazing of
freshmen at UNC. A letter from Aunt Minnie contains a
strip of four small photographs of Minnie and two
other women and another contains newspaper clippings
about jiu jitsu. Four letters, 1902 and 1904, are from
Annie Barnard, perhaps a cousin, in Asheville, N.C.,
describing social activities and family news.
