 George W. Dugger, aged 78
years, 4 months and 25 days, who was born in this
city November 3rd, 1839, and has been a resident
of this city for all his life, died at the family
home 407 Central Avenue, at 8:00 p.m. Thursday as
a result of dropsy and kidney trouble. Mr. Dugger was engaged in
the plastering and contracting business in
Collinsville and was well known and highly
respected. The deceased was married February 5th,
1869, to Miss Jane A. Bradshaw, and eight
children survive this union, five sons and three
daughters. There are also ten grandchildren and
one great grandchild. The surviving children are
J. V. Dugger, of Collinsville, Bert Dugger, of
Troy, George Dugger, of Hillsboro, Ralph Dugger,
of Collinsville, Mrs. Joseph Dupatz, of
Collinsville, Mrs. E. P. Omer, of St. Louis, and
George Thompson of Collinsville.
Mr. Dugger was a
Civil War veteran and one of the two survivors of
the Second Illinois Cavalry, the other member
being Morris Wilhelm, of this city. He was a
member of the G.A.R.
The funeral is to
be held at 2:00 p.m., Sunday from the M. E.
Church, and will be conducted by the pastor Rev.
Theo Cates. The internment will be at Glenwood
Cemetery. The sympathy of the community is
extended to the bereaved relatives.
When returning
from voting for the first time, George Dugger's
father, Andrew Jackson Dugger, asked him how he'd
voted. Replying he had voted for Lincoln, his
father responded by telling him the house was not
big enough for them both.
Upon hearing these
words, George mounted his horse, and left home.
He went first to the residence of his aunt in
Lebanon and then off to Smithon to join a company
which was forming there.
After the war,
George received a message from his father which
stated, "The war is over, come home
now." Instead, George Dugger served as a
scout for the government.
