Abstract | Joseph Ezekiel Pogue, born in Raleigh, N.C., 1906 graduate of the University of North Carolina, was a geologist with particular interest in the petroleum industry, and a banker, serving, 1936-1949, as vice- president of the Chase Manhattan Bank. Pogue and his wife, Grace Needham Pogue (1889- ), whom he married in 1919, were also philanthropists, dispensing funds to various organizations, particularly educational institutions, from the sizeable trusts they held. Correspondence, financial and legal materials, reports, photographs, and other materials chiefly relating to the personal lives of Joseph and Grace Pogue. Most items document the financial side of their lives, including records of the trusts they administered and investments they made in such areas as Venezuelan oil, but there are also many folders containing routine products of daily living--instructions to gardeners and other workers at their residences, particularly in Mountain Lake community in Lake Wales, Fla.; inquiries about social security payments; health concerns; and other personal issues. In addition, there are a few documents relating Joseph Pogue's interest in the petroleum industry and its impact on the general business climate. Among these materials are several reports Pogue wrote, some of them dating from World War II when he served on the Petroleum Industry War Council and others from the 1950s, about the industry in the Middle East. |
