Double Tragedy Shocks Ashland Mrs. Ogg Passes

Ashland, July 11. - The community was shocked to learn of the
death of Mrs. G. G. Ogg, some time during Thursday night. Mrs.
Ogg had not been well for some time, and since Mr. Ogg's grave
injury some one of her friends had been with her. Thursday
evening, when Mrs. Welborn Beeson, a cousin, left her she had
expected to retire shortly. In the morning, when Mrs. Beeson came
into the room, Mrs. Ogg was sitting in an easy chair, as if
resting. Thinking her asleep, Mrs. Beeson went out of the room.
Coming back shortly she found her the same, walked over to arouse
her, and found she had passed on. It is supposed that she died
some time in the night. Making it doubly tragic, Mr. Ogg is in
the Community hospital, critically ill. Mr. Ogg's brother, the
Rev. Duncan Ogg, pastor of the Congregational church at Eureka,
Calif., had just arrived to take charge of affairs. The accident
which may cost Mr. Ogg his life, occurred a few days ago. He had
gone to one of their tenant houses to open up the house
(supposedly) after fumigation. The had evidently been overcome
with the fumes and when found was beneath a second story window
from which he had fallen, fracturing his skull. He roused
sufficiently to say that he fell from the window, after being
taken to the hospital, where he has hovered between life and
death since. A report from his nurse this morning says that he
rested fairly well during the earlier night, but was less
comfortable during the latter part. His condition is very grave.
No arrangements had been made for Mrs. Ogg's funeral. There are
no children but Mrs. Ogg has a number of relatives. She belonged
to the pioneer family of Coolidge, who lived in Ashland many
years ago.
