Obituary:
"Dead. James H. Southgate of Durham died last Friday (October 6, 1916) at 1 o'clock at "Southgate's Cabin" a mile northeast of University Station of appoplexy. As usual he went to the cabin the afternoon before to spend the night. Feeling slightly indisposed, he did not return to Durham Friday morning. Mr. Southgate was spoken of by Durham people as their first citizen. He was not only a town, but a State and National figure, having once been a candidate for vice president of the United States on the Prohibition ticket. He was about 58 years of age and is survived by a son and one sister."
Also:
"Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Trinity College from 1897-1916. Southgate was known as an excellent orator and public speaker, thus earning him a Vice Presidential nomination for the National party in 1896. He was known as an important "advocate for the education of women" and on Benefactor's Day 1919, it was announced that in his memory, funds would be raised to construct the James H. Southgate Memorial Building, a dormitory for women. The building, completed in 1921, was a "miniature coordinate college." One can view this portrait in the small lobby just before entering the Reference Room (room 105 on the main floor)."
