The deceased was well known not only in Lead, but throughout the entire Black Hills, and has at times held many positions of trust in the community.

After leaving this position he went to Chadron, where for a number of years he engaged in clerical work, and again coming to the Hills he sought employment in the mines, working there for the past eleven years off and on. He was genial, well liked and will be missed by many friends outside of the family circle. He was born at Westport, Mo., on May 25th, 1854, coming to the Hills when but twenty years of age, and, aside from the few years which he spent in Chadron, or on the ranch owned by the family in the valleys, has been a resident of this immediate section of the Hills. H leaves to mourn his death a sister, Mrs. Homer Mullen, and two brothers, W.J. Foglesong of St. Onge, and George Foglesong of this city. The funeral will be held from the residence of George Foglesong of this city at 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon, Rev. Loud officiating. Interment will be in South Lead cemetery.
