"He was the son of James P. and Emily (Ware) Fogg. In 1863, the family moved to Chicago, where in later years they established the firm of James P. Fogg & Son, seed-merchants, which became well known through the northwest. James Leland Fogg was afterwards connected with the Leonard Seed Co. of which house he was a valued member at the time of his death.

From the age of eighteen, when Chicago became his home, most of his life was spent there, with an occasional year in some other western town. He also spent a year on a farm then owned by his uncle Josiah Fogg, in Deerfield, Mass., 'Thereby following family tradition, as his mother, father uncle, and an aunt -- Miss Martha Fogg -- have at different times lived in old Deerfield Street.'

In 1870 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Lockwood, of Prairie Du Chien, Wis., who with their two daughters and three sons, survives him ... His sister, Miss Emily Starr Fogg, who hopes to be with us another year, says of Mr. Fogg, "In later life he was extremely deaf, and this misfortune cut him off from social life and was a constant trial to one of his sunny, happy disposition. In all relations a loving, tender man, very dear to his own -- this tells his life's story."
