"COOGAN WILL FILED

FREMONT, Neb., March 23 - The will of Richard Coogan, pioneer 
settler of the Dodge County, written Feb. 15, 1878, has just been 
filed for probate by James Coogan, a son, who is named benefactor.  
The elder Coogan died three years after the will was executed.

The late G. W. E. Dorsey, former congressman from this district, 
and Jacob Joss, another early settler of Fremont, were witnesses 
to Mr. Coogan's signature.  The homestead of the elder Coogan was 
left to his son, James, in the will.  James has since made a will 
bequeathing the land to his wife, whom he married three years ago 
while on a visit to Ireland."
