Biography reproduced from page 283 of the History of Kossuth and Humboldt Counties, Iowa published in 1884:

The first disciple of the healing art that came into Kossuth county, to practice his profession, was Dr. R. Cogley, who was one of the pioneers of the county. He located on what is now the Huntly place, in June, 1855. This farm was a part of section 13, in Cresco township. Dr. Cogley was the graduate of a medical college of some note in Ohio, and was a very proficient physician. He, after some years spent in this county, left and went to Oskaloosa, Iowa, where he enjoyed the fruits of a large and remunerative practice.
