Oscar Hogan died at his home near Orange Church, north of Chapel Hill, last Thursday, at the age of 69. He had been in feeble condition ever since he suffered a stroke about a year ago.
The funeral took place at the church where he had been a lifetime member. Rev. B.J. Howard, in conducting the rites, was assisted by Rev. Charles E. Maddry, a native of the neighborhood, who now lives in Raleigh.
Mr. Hogan was born and spent his whole life in the Orange Church section. He was known all over the county and was highly respected. He is survived by his wife and six children: Willie, Poydrus, Lonnie, Charlie, Lily, and Mattie. One brother, Will Hogan, lived in Tennessee, and another, Dave Hogan in Washington. Among those who attended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Samuel M. Gattis of Hillsboro, their son, Samuel Jr., and Mrs. Jack Roach of Hillsboro.
