Found in The State (Columbia, SC) 29 April 1920: Special to The State, Greeleyville, April 28-The host of friends of Thomas J. Hogan are sorely saddened at his death, which occurred here Thursday, April 2, following ill health for several months. Mr. Hogan was 66 years of age and one of the oldest and most prominent citizens of this vicinity. He is survived by his widow and three sons, Dan J. Hogan and Jamie D. Hogan of Greeleyville, and T. Pressley Hogan of Columbia and an adopted daughter, Mrs. S. O. Rogers of Dillon. Mr. Hogan came to Greeleyville from Fairfield county in 1885 and went into the sawmill business with his brother, which he remained interested into the time of his death, although the firm underwent a few changes at present being known as the Mallard Lumber company. He was also half owner with T. W. Boyle of this place in the Greeleyville Land and Improvement company, one of the largest land owning concerns in this part of the state. He was also interested in several other enterprises in the community and considered one of the foremost citizens. Mr. Hogan was best known to his multitude of friends by the intimate name of "Uncle Tom" and was probably the most beloved man in this community for the past generation. Scores of his friends have often been heard to make the remark that they never knew of any person saying an ill word of him and no one has ever known of his having an enemy. His passing away will not only be a great loss to the community at large but his death will mean a deep personal loss in the hearts and lives of scores of his friends. His funeral, conducted on Friday afternoon, April 23, at the Greeleyville Baptist church, was probably the largest attended in the history of the town. The floral offerings were most liberal and beautiful. The funeral services were conducted by Inglesby Masonic lodge, of which he was a member. He was also a member of Woodmen of the World and the Baptist Church. His body was laid to rest at Mount Hope cemetery, Greeleyville.
