Career
Andrew Ogle was the grandson of Alexander Ogle (1766-1832) and the nephew of Charles Ogle (1798-1841), both of whom were also Congressmen. He attended public schools in his home country and Jefferson College in Canonsburg . After studying law and being admitted to the bar in 1843, he began to work in Somerset in this profession. Politically, he joined the Whig Party .
In the 1848 congressional election , Ogle was elected to the US House of Representatives in Washington, DC in the 18th constituency of Pennsylvania , where he succeeded Andrew Stewart on March 4, 1849 . Since he was not confirmed in 1850, he could only serve one term in Congress until March 3, 1851 . This was shaped by the discussions about slavery . During this time, the compromise introduced by Henry Clay in 1850 was passed.
In 1852 Andrew Ogle was appointed American envoy to Denmark to succeed Walter Forward . He died before his departure on October 14, 1852 in his hometown of Somerset.
