Norfolk Virginian August 29, 1877
Sudden Death of Mr. M. J. Fogarty.
Yesterday afternoon at 4:20 o'clock, Mr. M J. Fogarty, the well-known and much 
esteemed proprietor of the Norfolk News Depot, in this city, was seized with an 
apoplectic fit, while in Iris store on Main street, and died after an illness of 
only a tew minutes. Mr. Fogarty had just come downtown from his residence on 
Bermuda street when he suddenly became very sick and complained of faintness. 
Dr. Jas. D. Galt was called in and arrived on the scene just as the dying man 
drew his last breath. Dr. Wm J. Moore came in a few minutes later and the two 
physicians decided that the deceased was a victim of apoplexy. Mr. Fogarty was 
born in Ireland and came to this city from Washington in 1868, since which time 
he has conducted the news business at his present stand, with success and 
satisfaction to his customers. He was respected by all who knew him as an 
honest, upright man, and his sudden demise will be deeply regretted by his 
numerous friends in Norfolk. He was about 38 years of age and leaves a wife and 
two children to mourn his loss.
