A Portrait and Biographical Record of Hendricks County (Chicago: A.W. Bowen & Co., 1895)--page 1047
Julian D. Hogate, the enterprising editor and proprietor of the Hendricks County Republican, was born in Danville, Ind., October 14, 1868, and is the son of Charles F. and Sarah E. (DePew) Hogate. Charles F. Hogate was a native of Salem County, N.J., was born June 17, 1838, and in 1859 came to Danville, where he was employed as a clerk until 1861, when he responded to his country's call for aid from her patriotic sons, and enlisted, first in the Seventh Indiana Volunteer Infantry, for the term of three months; later he joined the One Hundred and Seventeenth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, as Second Lieutenant of Company B, and served with honor until the close of his term of service. He was a man of marked ability and was quite popular with his fellow-citizens, and in 1864 was elected to represent the county of Hendricks in the state legislature under the auspices of the Republican Party, of which he was an ardent member. He was also one of the organizers of the Meridian National Bank, of Indianapolis, of which he was cashier until 1869, when he was appointed internal revenue collector for the Sixth District of Indiana, which position he most satisfactorily filled until called away from all earthly scenes of toil and ambition. Mr. Hogate was twice bound in the ties of wedlock, having first married Miss Julia A. DePew, and after her death becoming united in matrimony with Miss Sarah E. DePew, both daughters of Jeremiah and Ann J. DePew. To the second union were born two children, Clair (deceased) and Julian D., the subject proper of this brief notice. In his religious convictions Mr. Hogate was a Methodist and had always taken a deep interest in church affairs, in which he aided liberally with his means and personal activity. In local and state politics his influence was always felt, and he was a potent factor in the success of his party, which also placed its interests with confidence in his hands. He was a member of the Republican National Convention in 1868 which nominated U.S. Grant for the presidency of the United States. Fraternally Mr. Hogate was a member of the Masonic order, and he was always active in promoting the good of the order and that of the county and state. His death occurred March 16, 1874; his widow still has her residence in Danville.
Julian D. Hogate was educated at DePauw University at Greencastle, Ind., and after finishing his studies became connected with the Danville Republican as local editor, this journal having been established in 1847. After having performed his duties intelligently and faithfully for several years, Mr. Hogate purchased the outfit, in 1890, and has since then carried on the establishment on his sole account. He has maintained the high character of the journal, and added to its efficiency and usefulness, and has shown himself to be one of the most able young journalists in the state. His standing with his party is an enviable one, and he certainly deserves it. The marriage of Mr. Hogate took place October 5, 1893, to Miss Etta B., daughter of W.R. and Sarah E. Craven, of Hendricks County. The young couple enjoy the respect of a large circle of social acquaintances, and fraternally Mr. Hogate is a member of the F. & A.M. and the K. of P.
