In 2014, Mr Ogles used a photo of his own stillborn child to raise funds for a burial garden for children who had died. After refusing to comment on the story to News5, Mr Ogles sent a letter to The Tennessee Star claiming the money went to help other families handle the burial costs for their children. Mr Ogles' letter includes a complaint that News5 reporters had asked him questions about the funds, even when they involved a taboo subject like child death. The congressman includes a quote from a man named Andy Miller, who claims to know that Mr Ogles used the money to help families with burial costs.
