The remarkable clear and accurate memory of Dr. Fogel places him in the front rank of local historians. His knowledge of the history of his locality and its peoples has made his an asset in the compilations of many family genealogies, whose compilers are his debtors. He has one of the best amateur collections of chinaware in eastern PA; his Indian relics and his very excellent water color paintings of Rev. Frederick Herman, D. D. and his wife Maria, nee Feit; of Jacob Sassamanhausen and his wife Maria nee Grim; and the paintings executed in 1818 of his great grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Fogel (Vogel), give his home the appearance of a museum.
