OGDEN 861 O'HAGAN began to develop some anomalous symptoms pointing to a serious pathological condition within the skull. The prominent New York consultants could not agree as to the cause and a postmortem did not entirely clear up the doubtful diagnosis. On January 7, 1898, after being lethargic for some days, Dr. O'Dwyer died, having reached the maturity of his powers and with the consciousness of having done good work. He married Catherine Begg, and had eight sons; four of them died when young, of the "Summer Complaint," so says the eldest son. The other four, Joseph, Frank, Launcelot and Victor, grew to manhood. Among his writings, chiefly contributions to medical journals, are; "Analysis of Fifty-six Cases of Croup Treated by Intubation of the Larynx," 1888; "Intubation in Chronic Stenosis of the Larynx," 1888.

Ogden, William Winslow (1837-1915) William Winslow Ogden, one of the lead- ing medical practitioners of the city of Tor- onto, was born in the township of Toronto, County of Peel, July 3, 1837. He received such primary education as the schools of his native place supplied in those early days, and then went to the Toronto Academy (since ex- tinct), at that time connected with Knox College. He afterwards attended Victoria College until he was eighteen, taking the ordi- nary arts course, and then taking the medical course in the Toronto School of Medicine, graduating with honors in medicine from Toronto University in 1860, and at a later date in the same science from Victoria Col- lege, Cobourg. He settled in Toronto, where he spent his entire life. In 1869 he was appointed lecturer on medi- cal jurisprudence and toxicology in Toronto School of Medicine, and lectured on these subjects and that of diseases of children, from that date until 1887, when, on the crea- tion of the medical faculty of Toronto Uni- versity, he was made professor of forensic medicine, which included toxicology and medi- cal psychology. He took a deep interest in all educational matters, and was a member of the Toronto Public School Board for forty-four years ; from 1906 to 1911 was on the Board of Edu- cation, Toronto. During this long period of public service he was universally liked and trusted by the teachers. The influence he had in the school board was very great and al- ways used for the betterment of the educa- tional methods and standards of the city. He was chairman of the board several times. He married Elizabeth Price McKeown in 1862, who survived him, as did also his two daughters. He took an active part in city politics, be- ing a staunch reformer, and during his long and useful life sacrificing largely in time and labor to advance the cause he had so much at heart. He died at his home in Toronto, April 22, 1915, from heart disease, aged seventy-seven. A Cyclopaedia of Canadian Biography, G. M. Rose, Toronto, 1888. Series ii. pp. 716-717.

O'Hagan, Charles James (1821-1900) The son of a newspaper editor, he was born in Londonderry County, Ireland, September 16, 1821, and attended school at Belfast, com- pleting his course at Trinity College, Dublin, and coming to this country in 1842. He taught school in North Carolina, first at Kinston, then at Hookerton and finally at Greenville, where he afterwards permanently settled. He received his medical degree from the University of New York in 1847, and was president of the Medical Society of North Carolina in 1870. During the Civil War he served the Confederacy as surgeon through- out the four years, leaving behind him an hon- orable record. His chief duty was with the 30th North Carolina regiment attached to the brigade of Gen. Matt W. Ransom. Dr. O'Hagan built up an extensive prac- tice in Greenville and became the. leader of his profession in that community. He was widely sought for as a consultant. Many years before the external application of water in disease was advocated he had systematically bathed his fever cases. One of the best of the
