to manhood. In 1865 he went, to St. Louis, Missouri where he resided for
several years. Returning to Iowa he came to Taylor county in 1870, and
November 5 1871, was married to Miss Catherine Collins. To this union

and one, Miss Margaret, died in 1902. The living are: Frank, Gus, Will

Davenport, Iowa, who with the faithful wife and one brother, M. Hogan,
Sr., of Corning and one sister, Mrs. Anna Morris, of Bevington, Iowa are

On account of failing health and thinking a change of climate
might prove beneficial the family moved to Andrain County, near Mexico,
Mo., in 1883 where they resided until 1893, when they returned to Iowa,
and bought the farm where they have since resided. While living in
Missouri Mr. Hogan joined the Knights oŁ Father Mathew and was a member

Dollard. Interment was made in Calvary cemetery.

Hogan of Massena, Iowa; Mr. Robert Morris, of Bevington, Iowa; Mr. and
