Obituary of Mrs. Margaret Hogan
Aunt of Margaret Doherty Lemming
Printed in the Falmouth Outlook, March 2, 1917
Mrs. Margaret Hogan: Mrs. Margaret Hogan, aged 94 years, died on February 24th at the home of her nephew, John Dwyer, near Demossville. Mrs. Hogan was born in the county of Tipperary, Ireland and came to this country while quite young and settled at Cincinnati. Later she moved from there to Boone county and came to Pendleton more than 50 years ago.
Perhaps there was no better beloved woman in the county than Miss Hogan. She was a devout Catholic. No higher type of Christian womanhood ever crossed the briny deep or traversed our broad domain. In the earlier days, when the country was all in woodland, when churches were few and far apart she would walk miles in rain or snow, hot or cold - no weather too severe to keep her from serving her God at this altar. You could always find her where there was sickness or death, doing deeds of kindness in a quiet ladylike way. No night was too dark or stormy for her when she could be of service to anyone. Her gentle heart was always touched at the sight of suffering of others; no one ever appealed to her in vain. On more than one occasion she has been known to give her last farthing to the needy. Her charity and good works would not have been known if left for her to tell. What her right hand gave, her left knew it not. She spent the last few years of her life with her nephew, John Dwyer. No dutiful son or daughter would have been more kind or considerate than he and his good wife.
The funeral was held February 26 at St. John's Church, Portland, conducted by her former pastor, Rev. J.J. Taaffe. Father Taaffe paid a beautiful tribute to the life of the grand old Christian lady. In part he said, "No sermon ever preached from that altar would equal her life in eloquence" and begged of his audience to imitate her example, and follow in her foot steps. Thus ends a beautiful life on this earth. With fervent hope, she has gone to her heavenly home, beyond the skies. After the services, all that was mortal of this beautiful Christian character was laid to rest, beside the body of her husband and sister in the cemetery adjoining the church. Peace to her!
She leaves one grandson, Patrick Hogan, of Covington, and several nieces and nephews. The pall bearers were Patrick Cavanaugh, Peter Carter, Ed McLafferty, John Jennings, James Gordon, and James Donehue. -from the collection of Joe Tallarico
