Summary

Vera Wogan was listed as a Saint James Township trustee in the November 1974 election-results notice. This is a probable episode-qualified duplicate of Vera M. Wojan, the more fully documented Wojan-spelled record for the same civic-minded islander.

Evidence and limits

The source supplies an office roster entry only. It does not itself state that this Vera Wogan is the March of Dimes chairwoman and Historical Society officer married to Walter Wojan, but the shared given name, the same small township, and the same 1974 period as her husband’s parallel “Wogan” spelling in the Civic Association nominee list make it a strong candidate for the same person; the fuller biography, family detail and the Wojan/Wogan spelling discussion are kept at Vera M. Wojan rather than duplicated here. This record is recommended for a future merge review, not merged now.
