as many wives as possible, as well as the lack of training among some families who chose to pursue homeschooling, saying that, for this subset of youngsters, "it had been better for them to go to public schools, than to stay home and to do nothing." Personal life In 1960, Ogden was living in Fruita, Mesa County, Colorado, where he was working as a real estate agent and State Farm Insurance agent. Ogden worked as a scientific photographer at the U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground in Dugway, Tooele County, UT in 1966-1990. Ogden died in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah, on July 17, 2002, from liver cancer. His obituary was published in the Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News on July 19, 2002; and he was buried in the Salem City Cemetery (block 101, lot 5, grave 6) in Salem, Utah County, Utah, on July 22, 2002. Ogden's son Kevin Kraut continues to discuss his father's legacy and publish his old writings through Old Pioneer Press. Despite their divergent views on the truths of Mormonism, Ogden was on friendly terms with fellow early LDS history researchers Jerald and Sandra Tanner. Ronald V. Huggins's book Lighthouse: Jerald & Sandra Tanner, Despised and Beloved Critics of Mormonism published by Signature Books in summer 2022 includes some anecdotes about Ogden's relationship with the late Jerald Tanner.
