Talk:Francis Hogan/@comment-27263115-20151121235519

Piecing together the answer to where did Francis Robert Hogan (Dad’s Uncle Frank) end up after James T Hogan had to give him up?

Frank was the last child of James T and Mary Frances Sumner Hogan. Mary Frances died at childbirth, 1899 at age 34.

James T. struggled to keep the family together. He was 46.

The 1900 census shows Catherine Sumner, Mary Frances Sumner Hogan’s mother, as a Head of Household with her 19 year old daughter Kate L living with her and Mary F Hogan 13, Cecelia Hogan 12, and Francis R Hogan 1 living with her as well. They were in Hurley S.D. Catherine Sumner was 57 in 1900.

The 1910 census has Catherine Sumner living with John W and Charlotte C Robinson in Clay County S.D., Vermillion. Others in the household are Robin O. their 3 y/o daughter and Francis R. Hogan age 11. Also a niece by marriage named Mayme, 23 y/o. Catherine Sumner is named as the Mother-in-Law to the Head of Household John W Robinson.

So, Mary Frances Sumner Hogan had a surviving sister named Charlotte born around 1877 and married to John Robinson. (? Could Charlotte be the Kate L named in the 1900 census?)

Frank Hogan married Mildred Hazeltine in Yankton S.D. in 1925.

The 1930 census has Frank and Mildred living in the household of Paul Hazeltine, his Father-in-Law along with their 2 children Paul Dean, age 3 and Delores, a new born. They were in Pennington County, South Dakota. They lived most of their married life in Keystone S.D. They were separated at some point.

Frank Hogan is listed as owning his own truck and being a truck driver. His Father-in-Law Paul Hazeltine is a Contractor and has a 19 y/o son J. Paul Hazeltine listed as a truck driver. It’s a good guess that Frank Hogan worked for his Father-in-Law as a truck driver.

Frank died in 1971 in Kevin Montana and is buried in Shelby Montana. That’s just a little South of Canada.

Mildred Hazeltine Hogan dies in 1981 in Spanaway WA and is buried in Keystone S.D.
