HENRY HOGAN, a prominent and promising young attorney, is a native of
California, born in Healdsburg, Sonoma County, September 2, 1860. He received
his primary education under private tutors, up to the age of twenty years, when
he entered St. Mary's College, San Francisco, where he graduated in 1879 as
Bachelor of Arts. He commenced the study of law in the office of Judge Robert
Crouch, now Superior Judge of Napa County, and completed his course at the law
school in Albany, New York, graduating thereat in May, 1883. He was selected by
the faculty to deliver the class oration, being the first student from west of
the Mississippi to receive the honor. This oration, entitled "The Perils of
Asiatic Immigration," struck a popular chord in the hearts of the people of the
Pacific coast, and it was generally reprinted there, while in the East it opened
up a fuller knowledge and consideration of this important question, which was
then being agitated in Congress in the form of the Exclusion Bill.

  Returning to San Francisco, he entered the law office of M. M. Estee, late
chairman of the Republican National Committee, and chairman of the convention
which nominated Benjamin Harrison for President. Here he remained as head clerk
until the fall of 1884, when he was tendered by the Democratic party of Napa
County the nomination for District Attorney. This he accepted, and,
notwithstanding the fact that Napa County is strongly Republican, he was elected
by 109 majority in the campaign in which Blaine carried the county by 300
majority. He was renominated in the succeeding election and was again elected.
During his incumbency he prosecuted several murder cases, and a large number of
important felony cases successfully.

  In July, 1886, he took a short vacation, revisiting Albany, New York, where he
was married to Miss Emma Von Kruen Mann, only daughter of P. H. Mann, of the New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad, whose acquaintance he had formed while at
the law school in 1882. He then established himself in the active practice of
his profession, in which he has already built up a satisfactory business. Mr.
Hogan is a member of the Native Sons of the Golden West and Past President of
Napa Parlor and a Grand Trustee of the order, also a member and President of the
Young Men's Institute.
