                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 13, 2000

  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to honor and 
recognize the descendants of the city of Hogansville, GA, as they set 
aside June 15-18, 2000, to have the second, ever, Hogan Family Reunion. 
The founding father, William Hogan, established a one-man plantation in 
the 1930's which encompassed much of the current town of Hogansville.
  William Hogan's efforts to stimulate the local economy began by 
ceding the right of way to the Atlanta and West Railroad, which 
eventually led to the town being chartered in 1870.
  William had 18 children, accounting for 11 lines of descendants. 
Representatives of nine of those lines from 11 states, along with the 
entire town of Hogansville are invited to share in the festivities as 
Hogansville remembers its founding father, William Hogan.
  Frances Hogan Moss, following in the footsteps of her father, William 
Hogan, Jr., has been instrumental in coordinating the reunion and is 
looking forward to the momentous occasion.
