Jim Fouch, Water Chief, Drops Dead
Death Comes On Duck Hunt At Ash Ranch
Colusans were shocked today when James Madison Fouch, 72, superintendent of the municipal water works for many years, dropped dead while hunting ducks at the Ash ranch west of Colusa. Fouch had gone out this morning with Jack Hampton and Dick Schnepper. They returned to the ranch headquarters about 9 o'clock and when they found Fouch absent went out to look for him. The body was found by Hampton about a mile and a half east of the ranch house. Coroner Howard Moore said Fouch apparently had dropped dead about 9:30 o'clock while chasing a wounded goose. The bird was found nearby. The body was brought to the J.D. McNary Memorial Chapel. Hampton, Jack Schnepper and Elliott O'Rourke assisted Moore in bring the body a mile and a half to the road and the Ash ranch also loaned equipment.
Fouch started work with the city water department soon after its construction
about 1916. He first worked as assistant superintendent and meter reader and after the death in the early forties of Lorenzo T. Brown, became superintendent. He was known as an authority on water mains and was often consulted regarding location of pipes in the local system. He perhaps better than anyone, knew immediately the equipment in his department.
Fouch was born at Maxwell August 20, 1883. He leaves three brothers, George Fouch of Sacramento, Ben Fouch of Oakland and Flood Fouch of Maxwell; three half-brothers, Roy Triplett of Colusa, Jack Triplett of Yuba City and Vern Triplett of Marysville, and a half-sister, Mrs. Lena Lenahan of Maxwell. Funeral services are pending.
