JAMES COOGAN - Mr. James Coogan an old and much-respected citizen
of Windsor Locks, Conn., died very suddenly on Monday, the 20th
ult., of typhoid pneumonia.  Born in Dublin, Ireland, upwards of
seventy years ago, he immigrated thence while comparatively young.
After following his avocation of papermaking for several years -
first at Lee, Mass., and afterwards at Windsor Locks - he opened
a store.  During the years following, by his tact and careful
business management he amassed a handsome competency.  During the
portion of his life spent at the above place, he has filled 
various local offices, and has once been selected to represent
this town in the General Assembly.  For many years the principal
merchant of the town, he won the esteem of all by his generous
and kindly heart and upright business dealings.  He leaves five
sons and two daughters to sorrow over his loss. Two of the sons -
E. D. and J. T. Coogan - follow in the line of business so 
successfully marked out and pursued by their deceased father; one,
the Hon. T. C. Coogan, is a well-known attorney of Hartford, 
Conn., another, Dr. J. A. Coogan, is a young and successful 
medical practitioner, likewise of Hartford; while the youngest,
J. W. Coogan, is a member of the senior class of the Yale legal
department.
