The many friends of the family were saddened when it became known that "Aunt Kate" Hogan had passed away after an illness of almost two weeks resulting from a complication of diseases. She and daughter, Miss Lizzie, had visited at the home of a relative on Sunday and Mrs. Hogan seemed more than usually well and bright and enjoyed the visit thoroughly. Upon arriving home in the evening she complained of being tired out and retired for the night. In the night she grew ill and later a physician was called, but from the first Mrs. Hogan realized her race was run and told the members of her family that she was going and was ready and prepared to go. She passed away Friday night, March 26, at 10:15 o'clock. The funeral was held Monday morning at 10 o'clock at St. Patrick's Catholic church and was conducted by the pastor, Rev. Father Richard Dollard. Interment was made in Calvary cemetery. The funeral was largely attended by friends, neighbors and relatives, showing the high esteem in which Mrs. Hogan was held and the floral offerings were many and beautiful from the scores of friends. Catherine Collins was born August 1, 1846, at Ft. Covington, Franklin county, N. Y., and was aged 68 years, 7 months and 26 days. She removed to Dubuque county with her parents when a mere child where she grew to womanhood. She came to Adams county in 1869, and was married to Thomas Hogan in Corning, November 6th, 1871, by Rev. Father McMinname of Council Bluffs, there being no Catholic church in Corning at the time. Mr. and Mrs. Hogan began housekeeping in Taylor county on a farm where they resided a number of years, then sold the farm and removed to Mexico, Mo., where they resided ten years then returned to this county in 1892 and purchased the home farm in Jasper township where the death of both occurred, Mr. Hogan passing away January 13, 1909. Ten children were born to them, eight of whom are living. Miss Margaret, aged 23 years, died September 23rd, 1902, and the eldest, an infant son, died. The living children are Sister Mary Rosalia, of Ottumwa; Dr. Joseph K. Hogan of Fontanelle; William Hogan of Greenfield, Mrs. G. M. Dietz of Toledo, O.; Frank, Guss, Elizabeth and Theresa who reside at home. All were in attendance at the funeral of their mother except Mrs. G. M. Dietz who was unable to be present. Those from a distance who attended the funeral were a brother, Cornelius Collins, of Danbury, Ia.; a niece, Sister Mary Clotilda of Ottumwa; Mrs. Joseph Pins and two daughters, Mrs. Frank Hess and Mrs. George Schmitt of Farley, Ia.; Mrs. Pins is a niece of the deceased lady. She also leaves another brother, Michael Collins, of Anthon, Ia.; and one sister, Mrs. Michael Hogan of this city. Mrs. Hogan was a woman of noble character, a devoted mother and a true friend, and will be sadly missed. The family have the sympathy of the entire community.
