Biographical / Historical

The Minnesota Federation of Republican Women (MFRW) was founded in 1938 and has continued to represent the women of the Republican Party in Minnesota. The material in this collection appears to come from Mrs. June Ogle, as there are letters addressed to her and her name appears multiple times at the top of documents. Mrs. Ogle was the wife of Republican State Representative and lawyer Arthur H. Ogle, who represented Blue Earth County in District 8. Mrs. Ogle was a member of the Mankato Federation of Republican Women, which is a branch of the Minnesota and National Federation of Republican Women. The Mankato branch no longer exists.
