An obituary--Fogleman dated Thurs, 10 October 1935, in the "Phillips Co. Review" is as follows:

"One of Best Known Pioneers Dies at Phillipsburg Home, Tuesday, October First. - R. D. Fogleman, one of the best known of Phillips county's pioneer residents, passed away at his home in Phillipsburg. Tuesday, October 1, following a short illness. Mr. Fogleman had been up town earlier in the day and apparently was enjoying normal health and good spirits.

At the age of 17, Mr. Fogleman came to Phillips county, accompanied by his family of three brothers and one sister. They took a homestead in 1878 and later Mr. Fogleman claimed one for himself. During the rest of his days, Phillips county was his home and since the fall of 1925, he had lived in Phillipsburg.

Mr. Fogleman represented the third commissioner district for four years, from 1920 to 1924, and always took an active interest in civic and community affairs. He united with the Methodist church at LaBelle in 1898 and later transferred his membership to the M. E. church here in town. He was active in church affairs and regular in his attendance. On November 25, 1886, he was united in marriage to Hattie B. Heath, and to this union, four children were born, Leslie Fogleman, Merced, Calif., Mildred Howard and Lyle Fogleman, Phillipsburg, Mrs. Erma Patterson, Atwood. The family life was of the closest and the widow and all four children, together with nine grandchildren, survive. Mr. Fogleman lived an exemplary life and was one of our most respected and best known citizens. As the head of a splendid family, as a man interested and active in community and church affairs, his memory will live long with his legion of friends and acquaintances."
