Carl Herman Vogt was born on April 1, 1930 to Edward and Hulda Vogt in South Branch Minnesota. He attended St. John’s Lutheran School, South Branch and St. James High School in St. James, Minn. Carl served his country in the US Army from 1953-1955. Upon his return from the military, he married the love of his life, Marjorie Bernadine Sternberg on March 7, 1959 at St. John’s Lutheran Church, South Branch, and then began their long loving life together.

Carl was a contractor and owner of Vogt Construction and Millwork in Truman for over 40 years. He built several homes and businesses in southern Minnesota. His hard work and attention to detail is still seen in Truman today.

Carl loved restoring and piloting small aircrafts and he and Marjorie enjoyed their special Koi Pond in their yard. He loved attending the many activities of his children and then watching the grandchildren during their growing up years and he also volunteered at the local café.

Carl’s legacy was his commitment to raising his family in the Christian Faith. He was so dedicated to serving his church and the parochial school and the Truman community. He truly was a faithful servant.
