My great-grandfather was a blacksmith from County Tipperary, Ireland. He first settled in St Louis and worked for Anheuser-Busch as the foreman on thier estate. He was in charge of the Clydesdales, as he was the farier. Later, he moved to Chicago where he again continued his trade. This would have been between the years 1895-1935. He is also listed in the 1910 Chicago City Directory as Michael J Hogan-horseshoer. Anyone have any info on any of this or hope this helps someone. Dan Hogan
