Oakland Tribune, December 10, 1925
“G. W. Langan, Lawyer 50 Years, Dies.

Heart Failure Takes Veteran Figure in Oakland Courts; Practices Half Century 
Though Invalid 14 Years.

George W[ashington] Langan, 76, pioneer attorney of Oakland, died late last 
night at his home in the Broadway apartments, 30 Grand avenue, following a 
brief illness.

Langan was a picturesque figure in the Oakland courts where he had practiced 
continuously for the last 50 years.  Although a partial invalid as a result of 
a train accident 14 years ago, Langan continued his legal practices.  He was 
for 13 years a law partner of Asa V. Mendenhall [his brother-in-law.]
With him when he died were his wife, Mrs. Ella D. Langan [Luella “Ella” Dora 
Mendenhall] and two adult sons, Philip M. Langan of Oakland and Chester G. 
Langan of Stockton.  A daughter, Mrs. Ursula Swent, is in Mexico.

Langan was a native of Michigan.  He taught school in Contra Costa county in 
the early seventies, while preparing himself for admission to the bar.  He was 
a member and former commander of Admiral D. D. Porter Post No. 169, Grand Army 
of the Republic, a member of Lew Morris post of Livermore and treasurer of 
Lodge No. 94, Woodmen of the World, of Oakland.  Death was due to heart 
trouble.” END
