MAJOR F.K. HUGER DIES SUDDENLY AFTER A BAD HEART ATTACK—Well Known Citizen 
Passes Away Last Night—Was Widely Known in South

Maj. F.K. Huger, well known and popular citizen, died suddenly at his home 
here early last night suffering with a severe attack of the heart.  He had 
been indisposed during the early afternoon, but his condition was not 
considered serious and the announcement of his death at 7:30 o’clock came in 
the nature of a shock to his many friends.

Major Huger was born near Charleston, S.C., eighty-two years ago, having 
celebrated his eighty-second birthday last Sunday.  He spent much of his early 
life in that city and in Savannah.  During the war between the states, he 
served with distinction in the Confederate army, where he won his majorship 
and was regarded as a gallant soldier and officer.

Many years ago Major Huger was married to Mrs. William Wright, member of a 
well known Georgia family, being a sister of the late Mrs. W.M. Nightingale, 
of this city.

Practically all of Major Huger’s business life was spent in railroading.  For 
twenty years he was general superintendent of the Southern Railway with 
headquarters at Knoxville, Tenn., and for many years he was superintendent of 
the Seaboard Air Line, making his offices at Portsmouth, Va.

For the past ten or fifteen years, Major Huger has made his residence in 
Brunswick, spending a portion of the time in North Carolina, but always 
returning here for the winter.

The deceased is survived by three sisters, Mrs. John D. Elliott, Mrs. O.T. 
Prochei, and Miss Marie Huger, all of them residing in South Carolina.  
Because of the fact that these sisters have been communicated with, and have 
not yet been heard from, the hour of the funeral has not yet been fixed, but 
the interment will take place in this city.

Maj. Huger was widely known all over the south and locally was very popular 
among a wide circle of friends.  He belonged to that old school of Southern 
gentlemen, now rapidly passing away and his sudden death has caused genuine 
sorrow in the city.

FUNERAL OF LATE MAJOR F.K. HUGER THIS AFTERNOON

The funeral of the late Major Frank K. Huger was held this afternoon at 2:30 
o’clock from St. Mark’s Episcopal church, Rev. J.W. Fulford, the rector, 
officiating.

The hour of the funeral was arranged this morning, after sisters of the 
deceased reached the city.  Many friends of this prominent Brunswickian were 
present to pay a last tribute of respect to him.

The announcement of Major Huger’s death yesterday came as a shock to his many 
friends as he had enjoyed his usual good health up to a few days ago.

The funeral this afternoon was in charge of Undertaker Miller and the 
interment was in Palmetto cemetery.
