To this union one daughter, Mary Margaret, was born and who preceded her father in infancy. Surviving are his wife and one sister, Mrs. Mary Allen, of Philadelphia.
Mr. Hogan was a devout Catholic, seldom missed going to church. As a business man and citizen he was always ready to help in whichever way he could. He always stood for the right and no one ever heard him make a remark to hurt anyone. A good man has gone from us but let his good deeds be kept in our memory.
