FUNERAL RITES FRIDAY MORNING
Large Numbers From the Village and Country attend the Obsequies of Patrick Hogan
SERVICES AT ST. ANN'S CHURCH
Conducted by Rev. Father P. J. Fox, Remains Laid to Rest in the Catholic Cemetery
   The death of our respected fellow townsman Patrick Hogan occurred on Wednesday last the 21st at ten o'clock in the forenoon and was briefly noted in these columns in our issue of that date. The announcement came too late to give more than a formal notice and accordingly this week, we make more extended remarks concerning the life and character of the deceased.
   Mr. Hogan was born in Limerick, Ireland, seventy-eight years ago. At the age of eighteen he fame to his country and settled with his parents at Schenectady, N. Y. He resided in that city many years. Here he was married to Miss Ellen Cooper Sullivan. Some years afterwards he removed to Covington, Kentucky where he resided until he came to Minnesota in 1871. He settled on the farm a short distance from the village where he has continued to reside since that time.
   During the thirty-six years that followed his arrival here Mr. Hogan sustained the enviable reputation of being a just and honorable man, upright in every respect. He was an industrious farmer, a king hearted father and an exemplary citizen. In the material development of the country, especially in the early days when through struggles and hardships the pioneers of the country wrought the great task of making homes, and building strong and substantial for the future, upon civic and religious foundations, he bore no inconspicuous part. Of the Catholic faith he adhered to the tenets of the church with conscientious devotion, a devotion that sustained him in his declining days. In civic matters he was broad minded and intelligent, uniformly pursuing a line of action that reflected credit upon his good motives and his sound judgment. In fact he was a man who had a strict and conscientious regard for his duties. In his dealings with the public and individuals he was generous and kind hearted. There are none who do not testify as to his uprightness and goodness.
   The deceased had enjoyed uniformly good health up to early last spring. In fact he hardly knew what a sick day meant. The first symptoms of chronic trouble began to manifest themselves nearly a year ago. In time the symptoms became more marked. Early last spring he consulted local physicians and other physicians all of whom pronounced his case as one of deep seated trouble. In fact it became apparent before an operation was decided upon that he was suffering from cancer of the bowels. Upon the advice of skilled physicians in May last he went to Rochester where an operation was performed by the Doctors Mayo. Apparently it was successful. He returned to Janesville after a few weeks and for about four months seemed to improve. About three months ago, however, he began to fail. As time wore away he gradually became weaker. Towards the last he failed rapidly. He was well aware that his end was approaching. He did not dread it but on the contrary seemed to welcome it. He was reconciled fully and was willing to go. He received the religious rites of the church and died fully prepared to go.
    He was the father of six children, five of whom survive him. They are Mike, John, Dennis, James and Jerry. He is also survived by his wife.
   Mr. Hogan was a brother of Thomas and Andrew Hogan and Mrs. Margaret Cahill, all of this place.
   The funeral was conducted Friday morning at nine o'clock at St. Ann's Catholic Church, Rev. Father Fox, officiating and the remains were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery. A large congregation was present from both the village and country.
   Among those from out of town to attend the funeral were James A. Hogan and Wm. Naughton, of St. Paul and John Sullivan of Iowa, all nephews.
