Barney Hogan
Deer Lodge County
History of Montana, Sanders, 1913

By proving himself a man of honesty and integrity and one 
of the world's industrious workers, Barney Hogan, clerk of 
the Court in Deer Lodge County, through these admirable 
traits, rose rapidly in the confidence and esteem of the 
people of Anaconda and Deer Lodge county during but a few 
years residence and by them was placed in his present 
official position of responsibility.

But his own generation removed from the soil of Erin's 
Isle, he was born in Calumet, Michigan, June 23, 1876, 
and has inherited the warm and generous heart and the 
happy temperament of Irish blood.  John Hogan, the father 
of Barney was born in Ireland and came to America when a 
young man, settling in northern Michigan where he resided 
many years before his subsequent removal to Montana.  He 
died in 1896 at the age of fifty, and is buried at Helena.  
Various occupations were followed by him during his years 
of industrial activity.  In Calumet, Michigan he married 
Margaret Thornton, who is still living and now resides in 
Anaconda.  Five children were the issue of this union: 
James S. who is married and resides at Anaconda; Barney 
who is the subject of this review; Mary A. and Agnes M. 
residing with their mother in Anaconda; and Bartholomew 
J. who is assisting his brother as deputy clerk of the court.

Until about eleven years of age Mr. Hogan lived in Calumet 
Michigan and began his education there, completing it, 
however in the public schools of Marysville Montana, 
whither the family had removed in 1887.  During thirteen 
years resident in Marysville a few months were spent as 
an employee in a mille, but the greater portion of his 
time as a wage earner was given to the meat and grocery 
business.  About 1900 he came to Anaconda where the first 
five years were spent in the employ of the Anaconda Copper 
Mining Company.  Following that, he was engaged in the 
grocery business here until his election as clerk of the 
court in January 1909 which office he has continued to 
fill in the most acceptable manner to the present time.

On the 23rd of February 1905 at Anaconda, Mr. Hogan was 
united in marriage to Miss Mary Hagerty, a daughter of 
Dennis and Mary Hagerty, of Anaconda.  Three sons have 
blessed the union--John B., now in school, James E. and 
Bartholomew D. who are not yet of school age.
