The Henry County Weekly, November 30, 1923
DEATH OF MRS. E. OGLESBY
      One of the saddest deaths that has occurred in McDonough in years, was 
that of Mrs. Fannie Oglesby, wife of Rev. E. Oglesby, who died very suddenly 
last Monday morning. She had left her home to visit relatives in Atlanta and 
was apparently in good health and went up on the regular morning passenger 
train which reaches Atlanta about 10:30 o’clock and when the train arrived in 
the terminal station she alighted from the train and was passing into the 
waiting room, when she was seen to fall. An ambulance was quickly called and 
she was hastened to a sanitarium where every thing possible was done to save 
her life, but to no avail and she lived only a short time.
     She was a good woman and was about 50 years of age and is survived by her 
husband to whom the tenderest sympathy of all is extended in his sad hour. He 
has been confined to his home for several years by affliction and during all 
these years she has been a true loving companion to him and he will sadly miss 
her in his home life.
     She is also survived by one son and several brothers and sisters and a 
large host of relatives and friends.
     She was a noble good Christian woman and her sudden death is indeed a 
shock to her many friends.
     Her remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at McDonough Wednesday 
morning after an appropriate funeral service which was opened by Rev. W. W. 
Arnold who read the scripture lesson and paid a most fitting and glowing 
tribute to the memory of the deceased, after which the husband arose and stated 
that his wife had requested some years ago, that if she died before he did that 
she wanted him to preach her funeral, and stated that he wanted to carry out 
her request, and his remarks were indeed sad and touching. 
     A large concourse of people were in attendance at her funeral which was in 
charge of Carmichael and Farris, of East Point.
