(O'Rouke) Hannan, was born in the city of New York, December 18, 1836. He was educated in St. Francis College, in Loretto, Pennsylvania, and after leaving school was apprenticed to learn the trade of moulding, at which he worked until 1866. He then went into the mercantile business, establishing himself in Franklin street, Johnstown, where he continued until 1878. He then started a foundry in Centre street and operated this until the great flood of May 31, 1889, when he lost his entire property. Two of his children--Mary Ellen and Eugene-also perished at that time. At this time Mr. Hannan was made chairman of the committee of inquiry concerning the flood, a very thankless piece of work. Two years later, when he had finished the work connected with this trying position, he again went into the foundry business, but was obliged to abandon it at the end of two years on account of failing health. He then purchased the hardware stock of Waeldin & Whittaker and established himself in this business. The Hannan block was destroyed by fire March 4, 1896, but it has since been rebuilt, and Frank, one of Mr. Hannan's sons, carries on a drug store there. Mr. Hannan, who is a strong Democrat, has been a member of the town council, and of the state legislature. He married, August 29, 1859, Agnes P. Matthews, daughter of John Matthews, of Summit, Pennsylvania. The children of Hon. John and . Agnes P. (Matthews) Hannan were: Jennie, deceased; Martin E.; James; Mary Ellen, deceased; John V., deceased; Charles E., of whom. later; Harry J.; Frank, a druggist in Johnstown; Eugene, deceased; and Leo, died in infancy.

Charles Edmund Hannan, M. D., fourth son and sixth child of Hon. John and Agnes P. (Matthews) Hannan, was born in Johnstown, Cambria county, Pennsylvania, December 15, 1869. He was educated in the public and private schools of his native town, and thus prepared for entrance into St. Vincent's College, of Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, where he completed his literary education. His professional training was received in Jefferson Medical College, and the degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred upon him in 1892. He was appointed to the position of interne in Jefferson Hospital, but resigned this in order to enter upon the private practice of medicine in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where he has since remained. He has been lecturer in antiseptic surgery and anæsthesia in the Training School for Nurses, and is at present (1906) surgeon to the Conemaugh Valley Memorial Hospital in Johnstown. He was appointed a member of the first staff of that institution and has since been connected therewith in official capacity. He is a member of the American Medical Association, of the Cambria (Pennsylvania) Medical Society, and the Pennsylvania State Medical Society. He is also interested in public affairs pertaining to the welfare and progress of his community, and is now serving as a member of the common council of Johnstown. He takes a very active and helpful interest in polities as a supporter of the Democratic party, and is chairman of the cour ty Democratic committee of Cambria county. His social relations a with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and the Amicus Cl of Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

He married, October 26, 1898, Susanna McMillan Rosensteel, of Johnstown, who died in July, 1899.
