At the time of the death of Kate, the county authorities were called to the home to investigate the conditions reported. They found that there were six persons in the family, all subsisting on the blind fund of $160 each, for Kate and Lucy. It was a most destitute home. The farm had run down until it produced no income. Mrs. Ogilvie's daughter, Mrs. Elsie Fox, and daughter lived there. The daughter was married later and she and her husband and a child or two were murdered in Arkansas, by a man from Akron. The case made plenty of news for the papers.
