GEORGE A. HAGAN was born March 22, 1849, in Fountain Run; was reared on 
the farm; received a common English education, and at the age of 
eighteen left home and hired out at $10 per month until he reached the 
age of twenty-three, when he had accumulated enough means to enable him 
to attend school. He attended different academies for six sessions, 
after which he commenced teaching, which he has since followed with 
success.  He has the reputation of being one of the most popular 
teachers in the county. Mr. Hagan has met with success and has acquired 
by his own efforts a fine property, worth about $2,000.  He taught 
during the first five years ten public schools of five months each, and 
drew more public money than any public school teacher for the same 
length of time.  He has taught in Simpson, Allen, Monroe and Barren 
Counties and has always received a first-class license, and has never 
failed in securing the school applied for, which is an excellent 
indication of his popularity as a teacher.  He has always lived with his 
mother, who is now under his care.  In politics is a Democrat; cast his 
first vote for S. J. Tilden.  He has been repeatedly urged to accept 
office, but has always refused.
