P. Forhan

"REV. P. FORHAN, father superior of Conowago Chapel, P.O. McSherrystown, is a native of County Kerry, Ireland. He came to America at an early age and was educated at Woodstock College, in Baltimore, Md. He then taught in the Baltimore, Worcester (Mass.) and Georgetown Colleges, and was in Washington before he came to Conowago Township, this county, in June, 1883. He has been Father Superior here ever since and is assisted by five fathers: Haugh, Emig, Manus, Richard, Finnegan, and three brothers, Hamilton, McGunigle and Donovan. The different churches located at Hanover, Oxford and Paradise are supplied by Conowago Chapel, and much of its present admirable condition is due to the earnest efforts and endeavors of Father Forhan, who is beloved and honored by all with whom he comes in contact"
