Dr. Fred L. Ogilvie, a resident of this county and head of the Pemiscot County Health Bureau since 1927, died at Southeast Missouri Hospital in Cape Girardeau at 8 o'clock Monday morning, October 14, where he had been a patient since the preceding Wednesday afternoon after he had suffered sucessive cerebral hemorrhages in the rooms he occupied in the Democrat-Argus building in this city. He was 68 years old.
Born at Farmington, Mo., in 1878, Dr. Ogilvie grew up there and later attended and was graduated from the St. Louis University school of medicine. He entered practice at Blodgett, Mo. in 1906 and lived there until he came to this city, with the exception of certain time spent in the army during World War I. Most of this service was at Camp Funston, Kas. and Fort Knox, Ky., associated with the medical corps, in which he held the rank of major.
By reason of his military service he was a member of and prominent in the work of the American Legion here, also being a member of the Forty and Eight. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge, first at Blodgett and later here, and in his church affiliation he was identified with the Presbyterian church.
Dr. Ogilvie served one term as a member of the State Legislature from Scott county and while he lived at Blodgett was a member and president of the school board for some years. He served here as a member of the American Legion Fair Board and on various committees connected with the Legion, always being willing to give time and effort to this and other matters of public interest.
Since 1927 he headed the health office here and represented the State Board of Health in this section of the state. He gave a great deal of time to malarial control work and other phases of community health and he was a member of the county and state medical societies.
Dr. Ogilvie is survived by one brother, a half-brother and a half-sister, being Dr. R.K. Ogilvie of Berkeley, Calif., Thomas Ogilvie of Charleston, Mo. and Mrs. Agnes Drane, also of Charleston. He was never married.
The body was sent to the Lair-Nunnellee Funeral Home in Charleston and services were held there Tuesday afternoon with the Rev. Elmer Peal of this city, assisted by the Rev. J.C. Montgomery, Methodist minister in Charleston, conducting the rites. Burial was in the Odd Fellows Cemeter in Charleston.
