AT REST
Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock Mrs. Margaret Hogan, aged eighty-five years,
died at the residence of her daughter, at No. 112 north 7th street, from senile
debility. Mrs. Hogan was born in the town of Kilkenny, Ireland, in the month of
June, 1803, and emigrated to this country when quite young, and has been a
witness to the last seventy years. Intellectually she was strong and possessed
of a remarkable memory. She delighted in conversation and it afforded her much
pleasure to recount her experiences of sixty years ago, among which was riding
on the first railroad train, on which was General Jackson, with whom she shook
hands. She emigrated from the east nearly fifty years ago, locating here when
the population of this city was only five hundred. she came in a stage coach,
over the mountains, in which was General Harrison, or "old Tippecanoe," and
became quite well acquainted with him. She has been a widow since 1849. Her
funeral will take place at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning from St. Mary's church,
and friends of the family are invited. Interment at Earlham cemetery.
