REV. NICHOLAS PHILIP HAHN, pastor of St. John's Roman Catholic church in Boise,
was born at Maryville, Missouri, September 26, 1878. His father, Nicholas Hahn,
served throughout the Civil war as a member of Company C, Ninth Wisconsin
Volunteer Infantry. He was a contractor and builder by occupation and he passed
away in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1906. The mother was prior to her marriage Miss
Helena Kohns. Rev. Hahn of this review was one of a family of five children, two
of whom have passed away, while a brother and a sister reside in Portland, Oregon.

   The early life of Rev. Hahn was spent chiefly in the state of Wisconsin, in
Denver, Colorado, and in Portland, Oregon. He pursued a classical course in
Mount Angel College, Oregon, completing his studies there in 1898. He afterward
became a teacher in that institution, giving instruction in English and Latin
there for four years. Subsequently he pursued a philosophical course in the
Catholic University of Washington, D. C, and next entered the Grand Seminary of
Montreal, Canada, where he pursued his theological studies for two years. Later
he was ordained to the priesthood in Menlo Park, California, and in 1911 he came
to Idaho, where for two years he was pastor of St. Mary's church at Genesee. He
next served as pastor of St. Edward's church at Twin Falls, Idaho, for a period
of six years and was transferred from that parish to St. John's Catholic church
in Boise in March, 1919.

   Rev. Hahn is connected with the Knights of Columbus and served as chaplain of
the Knights of Columbus council at Twin Falls during his pastorate there. He is
now in the full vigor of manhood, zealous and earnest in support of the cause
for which he labors, his efforts proving highly resultant in the upbuilding of
the Catholic church in this section of the country.
