The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 10-19-1915
HOGG, JOHN ASHTON
MR. JOHN A. HOGG DIES SUDDENLY - RESULT OF OVERDOSE OF MEDICINE TAKEN FOR INSOMNIA 
- FUNERAL FRIDAY.  John A. Hogg, for almost 25 years a resident of this island, 
died at his home at the Grove Farm side of Lihue about noon Sunday from the 
effects of an overdose of veronal, a medicine he occasionally took for 
sleeplessness. For a long time he had been troubled with insomnia and used 
veronal, but by some mistake took too much. Dr. Waterhouse, the family physician, 
called in Dr. Putnam, but their efforts to save the life of the patient were 
unavailing. Private funeral services will be held at the late residence this 
afternoon, after which the remains will be accompanied in the steamer W. G. Hall 
to Honolulu to be cremated. Mr. Ewart will return with the ashes Friday morning, 
and at 10 AM of that day public funeral services will be held in Lihue Union 
church conducted by Rev. J. M. Lydgate. The late John Ashton Hogg was born in the 
town of London, Canada, June 3, 1864, and was therefore a little over 51 years of 
age. He came to the Islands in September 1890 to work in the telephone business on 
the island of Maui. He remained there only about five months, however, coming to 
Kauai in February 1891 to install the telephone system on this island. Mr. Hogg 
was superintendent of the local system for about 22 years, retiring in October 
1913 in order to devote his time to his personal business enterprises. In May 1911 
he started the business known as the Kauai Garage Company, which he owned and 
operated up to the time of his death. On March 27, 1894, he married Miss Isabelle 
Lindsay, daughter of Alexander Lindsay of Waimea. There are seven surviving 
children, as follows:  John Ashton Hogg, Jr., who is in business on the coast; 
George A., Mildred E., Alexander Lindsay, Robert H., B. James, and Isabelle A. 
Hogg. Mr. Hogg was a man of delightful personality, a true friend, and a good 
citizen in every sense of the term. []
