Farragut's Body Is Taken To Pascagoula
The body of David Glasgow Farragut, grandnephew of the civil war admiral of the same name, who died Thursday in the Charity Hospital after an illness of several months, was sent Friday to Pascagoula for burial.
Farragut was a native of New Orleans, 45 years old. He spent most of his life in Mexico, serving at various times as cowboy, miner and railroad official. He narrowly escaped execution by Villistas in 1916, when they invaded Chihuahua while he was auditor of the Mexican and Northwestern railroad. His brother saved his life by gaining the intervention of the German consul.
He is survived by his father, William J. Farragut, of Pascagoula, whose father was a brother of Admiral Farragut; by four brothers and two sisters.

Relatives at Farragut's Deathbed
David G. Farragut, who died in the Charity Hospital March 1, was in that institution only a month, instead of several, as reported. His family learned of his illness only ten days before his death, and his wife and other relatives were at his bedside when the end came. Mrs. Farragut, before her marriage, was Miss Ward, of Richmond, Va. She hurried to New Orleans from Pascagoula as soon as she learned of her husbands critical illness. Mr. Farragut joined his brother, W. J. Farragut, in Mexico when he was 16 years old.
