Mystery Death In New Orleans Sparks Name Confusion
Times-Republican reports two men jumped into a canal in New Orleans with one drowning. Papers found on the deceased suggest R. D. Haggin of Marshalltown, prompting questions if the LeGrand area death refers to former Newell telephone manager R. D. Hogan. Authorities cannot locate relatives. Hogan was last seen January and had moved from LeGrand to Waterloo then Marshalltown. The case mirrors a possible death by own action, with Hogan’s family ties unclear and Mrs Haggin’s maiden name noted.
