  Henry J. Hagan, a veteran of the Civil war, died Tuesday night at his

Ireland on May 11, 1828, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Hagan, and
came to this country when at the age of 4 years.  In 1870 he married
Miss Elizabeth E. Harford, of Birmingham, England.  Mr. Hagan, in
addition to serving in the Civil war, spent twelve years in the U.S.
navy and sailed on the Great Lakes for a number of years.  He was a
rigger by trade and received his honorable discharge on account of an
accident in connection with his work, when he was struck by the ship's
spar.  Following his discharge from the navy, he plied the trade of
expert rope splicer, retiring twelve years ago. He is survived by his
wife, aged 75, besides the following children: John, at home; Mrs.
Katharine Tomlinson, Bernard J., and Miss Margaret, of this city; Mrs.
N. Nelson, of Cleveland, O., and Mrs. John Barret, of Philadelphia.
