Other Bereavements.
Ezra D. Fogg. the president and
treasurer of the E. D. Fogg Wholesale
Lumber company, died at o'clock yes
terday morning at his home, 3S9 Edge
wood avenue. His illness had lasted
only four days, and Monday when he
left the cOmpany's office in the Wash
ington building he appeared to have all
of that remarkable Vigor which had
characterized this sturdy man of sew
enty-eight years. An internal rupture
was suffered by him on Monday even
ing and since then he had gradually
failed, despite the efforts of three ply
sicians, until his death yesterday. He
is survived by two daughters. They
are Miss Grace NJ. Fogg, whose home
was with her father on Edgewood ave-
nue., and Mrs. Charles f. Clark of New
York city. His wife died during their
residence in Providence, and six years
ago he suffered the loss of his daugh-
ter, Army D. Fogg.
Mr.. Fogg was born in Salem, Mass,
in 1924. He spent the first fifty years
of his life in Massachusetts in various
business lines. His wife died there
about twenty years ago, and with his
two daughters he moved to this city.
He had been a resident here for nearly
twenty-five years.
Mr.. Fogg was engaged in the business
of wholesaling lumber, and was we'll
known in the business world as a man
NF ifSfa narSpVnranna
and intelligence. In politics Mr.. Fogg
was a republican. He was prominent
member of the Union league and spent
many happy hours in recreation among
his many friends in that organization.
He was a very warm friend Of the late
George C. Pettis, whose death was re-
ported in yesterdays Courier, and very
frequently during the winter season
these two men played grand" together
and chatted over various current
events.
Mr.. Fogg was a man who loved his
friends and had no element of deceit
in his nature. If he disapproved of men
or affairs he unhestatingly said so.
There was never doubt about his real
opinion, for he was one of those who
were never ill W uAl hiSA-
Mr.. Fogg loved nature and things
connected Herewith. He was passion
ately fond of animals, and nothing
aroused his indignation so much as the
abuse of a dumb animal, of whatever
kind.
His death came very suddenly and
was not anticipated until about twenty
four hours ago, although when he first
became i'll the doctor felt anxiety be-
cause of the serious nature of the ILL
ness, Prompt effort on the part of sur
geons furnished belief which promised
to result in sufficient degree of recov-
cry to warrant expectation of several
years continuance Of life.
On Tuesday evening, after the cele-
bration of the cornerstone laying at the
| Union league, E. R. Jeffcott called on
Mr. Fogg and found him much better
and full of hope for steady recovery.
He had anticipated attending the cor
nerstone laying exercises and expressed
| the belief that he would soon be able to
call at the club for an hour or two in
| the evening, as was his custom.
Later a recurrence Of the trouble in q
more grave form fastened death, which
occurred yesterday morning.
