at is with feelings of the great
est regret we have to record the

sad event took place in Winnipeg,
whittier deceased had gone on his
way to Rochester, MINI.
Mr.. Hogan was born in DEBORAH,
Iowa, in February, 1878, of Irish
parentage. He came to Canada in
1907 and settled on a farm, 5 miles
N. w. of Meacham. In 1915 he
was appointed inspection and after
lwards as assistant superintendent in

the time of his death.
"The funeral, which was the larg-
est and most representative ever seer
in Meacham, took place on Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock. The body was
taken to the church, the pail bearers
being six Knights of Columbus, OF

stanch, steadfast and an esteemed
member. About forty members o.

90 hrs 6rJtners and sisters. He pal,
eloquent tribute to the work dom
for the Catholic Church in Meachan

with these words, there is no fea
that the Catholic Church will eve
want for anything or that a Catho

, as long as there is a Hogan il

Which never can be filled.
