Death of Mary E. Ogle
Miss Mary E. Ogle, for many years one of Greenfield's best known ladies, died at her home on North Noble street Tuesday night, of gangrene. Some months ago, while going to the cellar at her home, she slipped and fell on the stairway, bruising her hip badly. She being one of the lading members of the Christian Science church in this city she refused to have a physician, but depended on the Christian Science healing. Among the believers in Christian Science she was well known all over the United States and was in correspondence with many who desired to be healed. Her injury never healed. Sometime since gangrene set in and her sufferings were intense, yet she would not receive medical aid.
Shortly before her death she said to Dr. John P. Black, an old friend of the family who desired to administer a hypodermic injection of morphine to allay the pain, that she did not believe in it; that her religion was her belief and that if she had to go it would be as she had lived, in the belief and faith of Christian Science.
Miss Ogle at the time of her death was fifty years, ten months and ten days old. She was appointed postmistress for Greenfield by President Johnson, succeeding W. H. Gooding as postmaster. The office ws then in the Gooding corner, where Fred Beecher now has his shoe shop.
She was the daughter of the late Matilda Ogle and a niece of Senator James Harlan, deceased, of Iowa, and a cousin of Mrs. Robert T. Lincoln.
After her term as postmistress expired she spent winters in Washington with Senator Harlan and family and was much in Washington society. She was a close student and for the past few years gave all her time to religion.
The funeral service, which was private, was held at her late home to-day, the burial being at Park cemetery.
