DR. JOHN E. HOGAN. The life of this gentleman has been too short to give the 
biographical writer much to do in outlining it, but it affords the promise of 
filling an extended sphere of usefulness should life be spared. Possessing a 
classical education, the quickness of perception and keen wit which are so 
characteristic of the better class of the Celtic race, and having had his 
faculties of mind thoroughly cultivated, Dr. Hogan is one who could make his 
mark in society; and when added to this we find a thorough knowledge of 
medicine and surgery, we are safe in predicting an honorable and successful 
career for this young member of the Joliet medical fraternity. The parents of 
our subject are John and Catherine (Glackin) Hogan, of County Heath, Ireland, 
whence they came to America, the father in 1840, and the mother a few years 
later. Three of their children are yet living and six died in infancy. The 
survivors are: The Rev. J. E. Hogan, of Harvard, Ill.; Mary, who lives with 
her brother in Harvard; and John E., of this sketch. The birth of the latter 
took place June 22, 1863, in Joliet, and he received his primary education in 
the parochial schools. He then spent two years in the public schools, after 
which he entered St. Francis Seminary at Milwaukee. After a year spent at that 
institution he was sent to Bourbonnais Grove, Kankakee, under the Franciscan 
Order, where he pursued his studies four years, completing a classical course 
and leaving the institution with a well-drilled mind and a memory stored with 
knowledge. Having determined to devote himself to the medical profession, Mr. 
Hogan entered the Chicago College of Physicians and Surgeons, from which he 
was graduated in 1887. He at once opened an office in Joliet, but a 
twelvemonth later removed to Olivia, Minn., and after a year spent in that 
place returned to the city of his nativity in which he desires to make his 
future home. Dr. Hogan is a Catholic and belongs to the Democratic party.
