After about a decade he turned his attention to surgery and became one of the best known surgeons in western Pennsylvania. He was a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a member of the American Medical Association, Pennsylvania State Medical Association, the McKean County Medical So-ciety, and the American Society of Military Surgeons. He long served on the surgical staff of the Bradford Hospital, and was surgeon for several railroad companies. The military career of Dr. Hogan was particularly broad in scope. He joined the National Guard of Pennsyl-vania in 1902, and won promotion up to the rank of major in the Medical Corps. He was in the Federal service on the Mexican Border, during 1916-17, and then entered the regular United States Army forces with the 12th Infantry, 28th Division, Medical Corps. With the rank of major he served overseas in England and France, later being assigned to a hospital in France, as a surgeon. Fraternally Dr. Hogan was affiliated with Union Lodge, No. 334, Free and Accepted Masons; Coudersport Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite; the Independent Order of Odd Fellows; and the Benevo-lent and Protective Order of Elks. He was a member of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and his clubs include the Bradford Club, the Pennhills Country Club and the local Rotary Club. He was of the Presbyterian faith and active in philanthropic and humanitarian works.

He was born on the old family homestead farm near Monterey, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. He was educated in the public schools of Monterey, and at the Clarion state normal school, finishing his studies at the latter institution in 1895. For the next four years he worked in the oil business. In 1899 after preparatory study he entered the medical department of Western University, now the University of Pittsburgh, whence he was graduated M. D., with the class of 1902. He at once began the practice of his profession at Bradford, Pennsylvania, where he became firmly established in a lucrative practice.
In 1900 he was appointed, with the rank of sergeant, a member of the staff of Brigadier-General John A. Wiley, commanding the Second Brigade of the Pennsylvania National Guard. In 1907 he was appointed to be captain on the staff of the Sixteenth Infantry. In 1907 he was also appointed medical inspector of McKean County. He was also in charge of the State Tuberculosis Dispensary, located in Bradford. He was a member of the State and County Medical societies, the Bradford Club, Lafayette Gun and Fish Club.
