Eugene's letter V3.7.4 Letter from Eugene "Gene" Belton Hogan, the eleventh child of Sanders and Margaret Jane Crankfield. The letter was written in 1911 to Gene's son, Eugene B. Hogan, Jr. Click here to read its contents. Gene Sr. noted his recent visit to Atkins, Arkansas, where his older brother, J.D. Hogan was a farmer. Gene was accustomed to making trips to Arkansas on the train to buy cattle, which he shipped back to Sumter for his market. In the letter he refers to Kittie Brown, who was his mother-in-law. She had been out visiting in Arkansas and came back with him. The letter also refers to Gene’s youngest child, twenty-year old John Thomas Hogan, who everyone called “Joe”. Gene and Joe had been cutting ten to twelve acres of oats per day. It was hard work and Gene bragged that they did about twice the amount of labor that a hired (black) worker would do. Finally, Gene refers to a touchy problem. Gene Jr. was in San Francisco. About 1906 Gene Jr. had made an attempt on someone's life, who would not pay him his wages. For five years after that Gene Jr. and his every-growing family lived in one city after another in the United States and Canada, attemping to keep out of reach of the law. In the process of trying to rectify the situation Gene Sr. took out a bond in behalf of his son. Gene Sr. also, in time, obtained a pardon for his son from the South Carolina governor, Coleman L. Blease. The letter asks for Gene Jr. to return to Sumter temporarily in connection with a bond that Gene Sr. had posted in his son's behalf. Gene Sr.'s granddaugher, Rosy Hogan Horney had the letter in her scrap book in the 1980s.
