A Notorious Character.
Ogden Bridgewater, one of the most notorious men in the neighborhood of Stanford, Ky., dropped dead the other night [August 1893] of heart disease. He was a brother of Col. Jim Bridgewater, who commanded a regiment of home guards, and after the war had trouble with the citizens of the Stanford neighborhood who sympathized with the lost cause. The Colonel was himself killed [18 July 1867] by Walter Saunders. Saunders was afterwards elected sheriff. Ogden was for years the head of a band of robbers who terrorized Lincoln County and robbed indiscriminately. A large reward caused him to be hunted, and he was finally captured by Marshal Gallagher of Harrodsburg with a wagon load of bootie. Gallagher had to shoot him, the ball taking effect in his jaw, breaking the bone so that it had to be taken out. Bridgewater was lodged in jail at Stanford, and for a long time subsisted on soup through a quill, and his tremendous frame was reduced almost to a skeleton. His appearance touched the hearts of the jury, and he was let off with a short term in the penitentiary. After serving it he returned to Lincoln County, and, professing religion, began to lead a new life, taking great interest in religious and Sunday-school matters.
NOTE: "Ogden" was Augburn "Og" Bridgewater, born about 1827 in Virginia. He and James H. Bridgewater were sons of Henry Bridgewater and Mary Franklin, who were married in Chesterfield Co., Virginia, and removed to Halifax Co., Virginia, then Pulaski Co., Virginia, and later to Lincoln Co., Kentucky. Augburn was married 15 August 1851 in Lincoln Co., Kentucky, to Emeline Shackleford.
