I would like information on Ogle Lake. My grandfather was born in Bartholomew County in 1921 the youngest of at least 5 kids. His name was Robert LeRoy Ogle. I would like to know what connection there is to the Ogle name? As far as Ogle Lake, Ogle Hollow and Ogle Shelter. There is some story about property that was Originally the Ogle’s that is now within the Park.
