Ogden's obituary: "Son of Abraham Ogden. CHICAGO, Feb. 13. - Mahlon A. Ogden, a pioneer settler of Chicago, aged 69, died this afternoon at Elmhurst, a suburban place. He had been very wealthy, but unfortunate real estate transactions left him in reduced circumstances. He was born in New York, and lived in Columbus, Ohio, some time.
[Mr. Ogden's house was the only one on the North Side which was not burned in the great fire - which swept all around and far beyond his place. - ED. GLOBE.]
