JUDGE EDMUND THOMAS HOGAN.—This gentleman, for many years county judge of Plumas
county, was born in the state of New York, while his parents, who were residents
of the state of Virginia, were temporarily residing there. He was educated for
the bar at Mansfield, Ohio, where he read law with some of the best legal talent
of the state. He came to California in 1852, and to Plumas county in 1854,
settling at Elizabeth town, where he hung out his lawyer's shingle. He often
refers good-naturedly to the first employment he received in Plumas county,
which was to drive a band of hogs for John W. Thompson. He ran for district
attorney in 1856, and was beaten by the know-nothing nominee, Robert I. Barnett,
by only three majority. He was elected county judge in 1857 on the democratic
ticket, over P. O. Hundley and L. G. Traugh. In 1861 he was re-elected,
defeating A. F. Blood, the republican nominee. Again he was elected in 1865,
over L. C. Charles; but in 1869 he failed to get the nomination. He was again
successful at the election of 1873, defeating Thomas F. Hersey for the
judgeship. Judge Hogan was defeated by G. G. Clough for superior judge in 1879.
He still resides in Quincy. Judge Hogan is a great story-teller, and has a
wonderful memory, being able to recite the political history of the country from
Alpha to Omega, without fear of contradiction. He is a very strong partisan; and
his political affiliations with the democratic party are inseparable.
