- Biography
Information about Andrew Hogan’s life outside of his work at the White House remains obscure.1
The first known record of Hogan working at the White House comes from an 1886 newspaper article which stated that he earned $50.00 per year. His position was likely that of a butler and houseman. The article described his job as “in charge of public parlors.”2 An 1889 newspaper article describing President Grover Cleveland’s White House indicates that Hogan assisted Chef Paul Resal in the kitchen and pantry and also helped clean the house and wait on guests at White House dinners.3 Hogan’s departure date from the White House remains unclear.
- There was another individual named Andrew Hogan who was a reverend in Washington, D.C. around the same time that the White House butler lived there, making it difficult to determine the correct individual.
