    3. HBH 1890 May 14 HOGAN Thomas Page Two Letter from The Woodville Examiner in reference to a letter which had been wrongly addressed not being delivered-apologies to Mr JAGO and the postal officers of the district for the accusation we have wrongly made. Thomas HOGAN, rather too well known in Hawke's Bay, appears to have gone the way of all flesh at last. The HERALD rather prematurely reported his death when what was supposed to be his charred body was taken out of a partially burned dwelling-house at the Spit a few years ago, and once after that HOGAN was "killed" by a country contemporary. The following from the Post seems to be a settler: -" A man named Thomas HOGAN was found dead in the yard of the Colonial Restaurant, Willis Street, at 6.40 this morning. He is a man well known to the police, and for some time past has led a vagrant sort of life, doing very little work, probably owing to his having only one arm. He was last seen alive in the Bank Hotel on Saturday, when he asked for a drink. There are no marks of violence about the body, and the supposed cause of death is suffocation. The deceased was not a boarder at the restaurant."
