The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists T D Vogler at 4423 West 14th Avenue. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Thomas D Vogler there as the householder, an inspector at Sitka Spruce Lumber. In 1940 the directory lists H M Vogler at 865 West 19th Avenue. The 1940 name section lists Hector M Vogler there as the householder, an inspector at the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau, with Thomas R Vogler, a lumber inspector.

The 1940 name section lists Eleanor L Vogler at 1149 West 29th Avenue, a maid for W E Sherlock. The 1940 name section lists Clendon Vogler at 1548 West 8th Avenue, a millworker.

Today

4423 West 14th, 865 West 19th and 1149 West 29th still have their buildings from before 1946; the City no longer lists 1548 West 8th, so that building is probably gone (inferred).

Sources

Henderson's and successor city directories for Vancouver, read by us line by line: the street sections for 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935, 1940 and 1945, and the name section for 1930 and 1940 where we've read it (Vancouver Public Library, BC City Directories). Names are shown through 1945, as printed. Close spellings are grouped, as on the house pages, since a family's name was often spelled differently from one year to the next; one name can still be several families, and we join lines only where the first names or initials agree. Many Chinese, Japanese and other residents weren't named by the canvassers, so they can't be listed by name: their houses' pages say where. More family names under V. Want a name removed? Tell us.
