M. L. ESSICK, S. Madison street, passed away, and on Saturday, John LEWIS, E. 14th street, fractured his arm. . . . . ----- Published in The Rochester Sentinel Friday, September 26, 1913 Fight for Life Proves Futile Hugh FOGLESONG, a student of Indiana University, a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity, and a young and popular man of this city, died at the home of his parents Thursday night at 12:00 o'clock, as the result of injuries sustained when a can of oil exploded, burning him from his neck to his feet. The accident happened Monday night, September 15th, and the victim made a brave but futile fight for life. Tetanus set in Wednesday, and it with the effects of the burns brought about the end. Anti-tetanus serum was administered Thursday night, but in vain. The death of Hugh Foglesong, who was but 22 years of age, is one of the saddest that has happened in this city in many years. When the fatal accident took place he was preparing to enter college for his last year's work. A diligent student and a popular young man, he had a brilliant future in college as in the local schools he made many friends, was a lover of music and an excellent athlete. He will be missed by everybody who knew him. The accident which caused Hugh Foglesong's death happened late Monday night when he returned in a drenching rain with his companion, Lyman BRACKETT. In attempting to start a fire in a stove, Hugh poured some oil out of a can into the grate. When the oil reached the coals in the fire place, a terrible explosion took place throwing the blazing oil over the young man. He ran from the house into the back yard where with the aid of his companion the blaze was extinguished but not until all the clothes over the upper part of his body were completely burnd away. From that time on everything possible was done to aid the injured young man to recover. Night and day since the accident took place the attending physicians and nurses have made a continuous fight to prolong life. The interest and wishes of the entire community have been for his recovery but complications set in which the physicians could not combat and he passed away Thursday night after long suffering. Hugh I. Foglesong was born at Roann, Ind., December 20th, 1890, the son of Mr. & Mrs. Henry FOGLESONG. After living at Plymouth and Walkerton for several years he moved with his parents to Rochester in 1903, where he entered the public schools. In 1909 he graduated from the Rochester High School and later entered Purdue University where he remained for two years. The next fall he entered Indiana University at Bloomington Ind., and before his death had plans completed to finish his course at Indiana during the coming year. He was studying for a degree in chemistry. He was enrolled as a member of the Presbyterian church, the Emanon club at Purdue, and the Delta Tau Delta fraternity, at Indiana. He is an accomplished musician and during the past summer played at a local theater. He was also a member of the Purdue and Manitou bands. The funeral will be held at the Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. S. A. STEWART, officiating. Those wishing may call at the house Saturday morning or Sunday morning between nine and twelve o'clock. Mrs. Elsie D. SHAW, of Chicago, and Mrs. Alice LEININGER, of Angola, are here to attend the funeral of Hugh FOGLESONG. They are his mother's sisters. SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Obits/Biogs - 1913 by Wendell C.
