Oghbourne - Madison Parish, Louisiana From Tallulah Madison Journal August 6, 1926 In the death of Dr. G. H. Oghbourne, which occurred at the Sanitarium in Vicksburg Tuesday, Tallulah has lost one of its valuable citizens. At the time of his death Dr. Oghbourne was a practicing physician, and had been during his long residence in Tallulah For many years he was Mayor of the Town, which office he administered well. It was a known fact that offenders of the law at that time feared their appearance before "Dr. Osby," as they called him, as much as they did their fine or sentence. Dr. Oghbourne had been failing in health for some time and had gone to thr Sanitarium only a few days before his death, and fearing that his friends might worry over his condition, only told them that he was going to the Sanitarium for a few days, and therefore, no one realized the seriousness of his condition. The funeral services were held from his home in Tallulah and interment took place in the Silver Cross Cemetery. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Emma Monette Oghbourne, to whom the Journal extends its sincerest sympathies.
