George and Lee Hogan are retired but far from idle. Their activities in
     the Assembly of God Church, the Leisure Center, Lee's quilting with the
     Golden Agers, Community Club, Mother's of WWII, and George's "Coffee Club"
     chats, keep them young at heart.
       George, one of 13 children, was born in 1890 in Missouri to G.W. and
     Mary Clouse Hogan. He came to Kansas in 1905. Lee, one of the eight
     children of Fred and Susan Heacock Moomau, was born in 1898, was educated 
     and married in Medicine Lodge in 1917.
       George, because of his small physical stature, was agile as he was 
     employed in 1913 by the city. They were installing the new water system.
     The change was from an open ditch to a 36" tile line, three miles long.
     It was laid in sections in the original water ditch. He crawled the length
     of the line, checking for cracks and flaws in joints and tile. When leaks
     were indicated, he lighted a lantern, mixed cement, and began the patching
     job. He was 23 at the time.
       It was three years later that he and Lee Moomau were married in the old
     courthouse. They had planned a double wedding, but WWI prevented the young
     man's fiancee from leaving England. The couple were married in England 
     while he was serving there with the Canadian Army. Years later, they were
     close neighbors.
       The Hogans had a daughter and three sons. When the boys all went into
     service, time was heavy on her hands, so Lee began work at the 'ten cent
     store.' She continued there through change of ownership and expansion of
     the building for 20 years. She decided to quit working out and enjoy her
     hobby of quilt making for awhile. One year she quilted 12 quilts.
       In 1960 Lee was elected State President of MOthers of WWII. She attended
     the States Presidents' meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana, and the National
     Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
       George farmed, the worked for Kansas Power and Light Company 16 years,
     retiring in 1955. He was custodian in the new building of the First National
     Bank for a year. He then took on the challenge of Park Superintendent. His
     wife helped him on this project, advisin about flowers. Many improvements
     were made during the 15 years he worked there. A few of these are building
     a second shelter house, building up the west bank near the swimming  pool,
     installation of flush toilets, and adding camping facilities. He retired
     again in 1971.
       Lee has a sister, Mrs. Hugo (Stella) Thom, and a brother, Walter Moomau,
     living in Medicine Lodge. One sister, Mrs. Wilburt (Viola) Lawrence, lives
     in Gilroy, California. He has four living sisters.
       The Hogan's daughter, Mrs. Merle (Hazel) Tillotson resides in Medicine
     Lodge. The sons, Dale is living in Pratt, and George Jr. (Tiny) in Iuka.
     Carl was deceased in 1973. They have 12 living grandchildren and 15 living
     great-grandchildren.
