To this marriage were born: George Thomas,Jr. and Mary. George is 5th cousin of Donnie Ruyle. HC Wood -- George Frogge was killed by Sheriff Clayton Upchurch. Although Frogge was not armed, the killing was ruled justifiable homicide and no charges were filed against Sheriff Upchurch.The incident occurred at Bowden's Service Station about 150 feet north of present Munday's Funeral Home. This location is a vacant lot in 2007. To the best of my knowledge George was single with no children. George ran with a rowdy crowd that apparently invited a confrontation with the Sheriff and maybe one or two deputies and the situation got out of control resulting in tragedy. His father, Ocie Oswell Frogge, was a former teacher of mine. He was a deeply religious man and well respected in the community. Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church here last Sunday afternoon for George Frogge, slain in a gun battle here last Thursday morning, officiating was Rev. R. R. Lewis, pastor of the church , the body lat in state at the church for one hour. One of the largest crowds ever to attend a funeral in Jamestown was in attendance. George was an ex-service man and was buried with full military honors. He was also a member of the Jamestown Fire Department and his associates in the Fire Department acted as pallbearers. Burial was in the Wolf River Cemetery with Looper and Qualls in charge. UPPER CUMBERLAND TIMES; 1-21-1952; p. 1 -- He is survived by his wife Mrs. Jo Wallace Frogge and two small children, Tommy and Mary; by his father and mother, Mr. & Mrs. O. O. Frogge; five brothers, Willard, William, Charles, James and Milton; one sister, Mildred, all are of Jamestown except Willard, who is in the Merchant Marines and Charles and James both of whom are in the Navy and stationed at San Diago, CA. Charles was the only one of the three who attended the funeral, James as unable to attend and Willard was some where at sea on the way to South America. NOTE: GEORGE WAS NOT ARMED!!
