DR. R. W. OGILVIE PASSES AWAY AT U.S. HOSPITAL

ALL PRINCETON AND COMMUNITY MOURNS DEATH OF PHYSICIAN

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Dr. R. Woods Ogilvie, one of West Kentucky's best and most prominent physicians, whose funeral and interment took place here yesterday afternoon.

    Dr. Ogilvie died at the Outwood U.S. Hospital, near Dawson Springs, last Saturday night, following a long, hard fight to regain his health. He had been in failing health since a severe attack of influenza some three years ago, but his condition became alarming in June of last year, and he placed himself under the care of the best physicians and institutions of the North, finally going to the Outwood U.S. Hospital several months ago, where he remained until death claimed him.

    Dr. Ogilvie was born in Garrard county, near Lancaster and was in his 52nd year at the time of his death. He graduated in medicine in 1899; and came to Princeton in 1900 to practice his profession. He soon became identified with the social and civic interests of Princeton, and his practice grew very rapidly throughout the city and county. He served as city and county health officer for quite a number of years, and took great interest in Princeton's growth and welfare, also in local athletic activities, being a great advocate of baseball, football and basketball, always ready to boost. He was also interested in the educational interests of Princeton, supporting all movements to advance the cause of learning in this city. He served as a member of the city school board several years, and in the school bond elections he took an active part in behalf of the bonds for building schools, and was proud of the present high school building, viewing it as one of Princeton's greatest achievements.

    He was active too, in fraternal orders, having been connected with the K. of P. Lodge until the charter was given up, and he was one of the charter members of the Princeton Lodge of Elks and served in various official capacities of that splendid order. He was also a member of Clinton Lodge, No. 82, F & A. M. and the Central Presbyterian Church.

    In 1901 Dr. Ogilvie married Miss Jimmie Lester, one of Princeton's most charming and cultured young ladies, and to this union one daughter, Frances Ione was born, who is now one of Princeton's most popular young ladies, who with her mother, "Miss Jimmie", have the profound sympathy of all Princeton folk and out of town friends as well.

    The funeral of Dr. Ogilvie conducted from the family residence yesterday afternoon by the Rev. E. E. Diggs, was well attended, and the interment was under the auspices of Princeton B.P.O.E. No. 1115. As the funeral cortège was wending its way to Cedar Hill Cemetery, the court house bell was tolled in honor of the deceased, and the many beautiful floral designs, filling two large trucks, were but true tokens of esteem in which Dr. Ogilvie was held.

    His long absence from home during his illness was greatly regretted by his many Princeton friends who missed him very much, but now that he has passed out their midst forever, the sorrow is greater than words can express.

    The following were active and honorary pallbearers: Drs. I. Z. Barber and Godfrey Childress, R. I. Rice, John Eaker, J. M. Pool, L. G.Cox, A. Kuykendall, Mark Cunningham, Drs. Z. T. Cunningham, John B. Wadlington, J. M. Moore, W. L. Cash, W. P. Morse, W. C. Haydon and Frank Linton.
