Michael was the son of Joseph & Catherine (née Gowan) Hogan of Skerries, Ireland. While he never married and thus left no children behind, his impact on more than a generation of Skerries natives was his legacy.

MR. MICHAEL HOGAN, SKERRIES
by Joseph Shiels
A very popular and well known resident of Skerries has passed away in the person of Mr. M. Hogan, N.T., 2 Dublin Road, whose death after a long illness took place on Friday last.
The funeral took place on Sunday last to Holmpatrick Cemetery and was of imposing dimensions, practically the entire population of Skerries as well as from Balbiggan taking part in the cortège.
The chief mourners were the Misses Mary H. and Margaret Hogan (sisters): Joseph and Vincent McGowan, Mrs Dwyer, Drogheda; Mrs Murray, the Misses McGowan, Miss Powell (cousins); Messrs. P. Keane, John and Michl. Mansfield, Dr. McGowan, G. L. McGowan, solc., V. J. McGowan, Mrs Keeley, W. Keeley, H. M. Dardis, Mrs. Dardis, Frank, Michael, Thomas, James Boylan, G. Hill and Mrs. Hill, Miss Boylan (relatives). Rev. Fr. Phelan officiated; also present were Rev. Fr. O'Gorman, P.P.; Rev. Fr. O'Leary, C.C.; Rev. Fr. Glennon, Archbishop's House - R.I.P.
AN APPRECIATION
The death of Mr. Michael Hogan National Teacher, Skerries, leaves a gap in his native town and neighborhood that will be difficult to fill in the hearts of those who knew him well and appreciated his work and worth. Mr. Hogan was a man of versatile attainments and great ability, and his success as a teacher is proved by the large number of his past pupils who have done so well, not only in Ireland but in America and the Antipodes.
Mr. Hogan was principal of St. Patrick's Boy's School for over thirty years. This position was undertaken shortly after he left Drumcondra Training College, his first post being in Balbriggan.
One of Mr. Hogan's pet hobbies was nature study. He loved the birds and the trees and the flowers and the breath of open spaces. One of the delights in the days when I was his pupil was to hear him give an object lesson on some flower or plant or on the bumble bee that flits from leaf to leaf. Many a time I have watched his brisk step as he walked along the beach or the roads or traversed the fields in the season when Nature manifested itself and everything, as he would say, was verdure. In the words of W. H. Hudson these were his "hours of rare beauty."
Music too, of which be was no mean critic, was another of his favourite subjects. He was an early writer of Pitman's Shorthand, a classical scholar and a great admirer of John Boyle O'Reilly, the Dowth poet.
Mr. Hogan's familiar figure will be missed in Skerries - the Skerries that he loved so well - and by the people who are indebted to him, especially his past pupils, a number of whomever gathered together a year ago to record in a tangible way his well-earned retirement from active service.
Shy but friendly, a brilliant conversationalist, he was seldom averse to a chat, and no matter how abstruse the topic either in the realms of science, history, mathematics, or literature, the Master could hold his own.
May the soil that he loved so well rest lightly on him. - R.I.P
✞ Michael Hogan, N. T. is buried in his Hogan family's plot at Holmpatrick Graveyard in Skerries.
