An obituary for James T. Sloggy written some time shortly after his death.
HOLD SERVICES FOR JAS. SLOGGY
"Funeral services for James Theodore Sloggy, 83, a former employee of the city at the LaGrande power plant, who died early in the week, were held Thursday at 1:30 p. m. at the Piper chapel, Rev. E. E. Tuck presiding; burial was at Mountain View burial park. He was a member of Rev. Tuck's church.
Mr. Sloggy returned July 3 from a visit with a daughter, Mrs. George Estes in Los Angeles, where he went in November, and his wife, Emma Virginia Sloggy, came from Seattle the same day, where she had been visiting with a daughter, Mr. Jeff H. McNichol, and they re-established their home at 5931 South I Street, where they had lived for 25 years. Then came the end of the veteran resident after a week of illness.
Mr. and Mr. Sloggy were married in St. Paul years ago, and came to Tacoma seven years later. Besides the daughters, a son, David, of Seattle survives."
Note the spelling of the Estey name; a common error made by people and one we Estey's, no-doubt, will continue to endure. (George W. Estey, June 17, 1998)
Yesterday (June 16, 1998) my son Gregg and I located "I" Street mentioned in the obituary and found 5931 South I Street; a small bungalow style house of the 1900 era which has had some work done on the exterior to modernize it. It looks as if the people who live there now take pride in the upkeep of the home. (June 17, 1998)
Wife Emma Virginia was James' second wife and they were married about 1901 using the data from the obituary (25 year resident of Tacoma and married 7 years before moving from the St. Paul area). This would be some 10 years following the death of his first wife, Lydia. The daughter, Mrs. Jeff H. McNichol, is the daughter of Emma and we do not have information as to who her father was. It could have been James which would make her a half-sister to Mae Lydia, David, and John. (GWE June 17, 1998)
