Parents: James Hogan & Eva Rebecca Graham
Spouse: Edna McDonald m. 19 Oct. 1905
From an article on their 50th wedding anniversary:
"Both were small children when they moved with their parents to the Mallard Community.
I first saw Edna McDonald when she was in the first grade, and I fell in love with her then and there. But I had to wait until she was almost 16 before I was able to get her out of circulation, she was such a popular young lady, Hogan said."
"Hogan was 18 when they were married at the home of a Montague county judge. There was too much cotton to gather in 1905 and we didn't get to take a real wedding trip until sometime later."
"The couple raised 11 chidren and there was never a dull moment in the Hogan home. All had musical talent and formed an orchestra within the family. They played for dances and other gatherings and still make music when the family has reunions."
"The Hogans farmed at Mallard until 1920. In addition to his farm work Mr. Hogan worked for Lone Star Gas Co. from 1912 to 1917, walking a pipe line from Montague to Cooke County. From 1917 to 1920 he worked with his mule teams on various road and pipe line construction projects in North Texas and Oklahoma.
In 1920 the family moved to a farm a short distance south of Muenster. they engaged in farming, livestock breeding and raising fine dairy cattle. In 1940 they moved to Amarillo. In 1952 they retired and moved to a farm southeast of Burleson."
