"Frank HOGG"

"Hawick Archaeological Society"
Session 1941

Hawick's Prominent Men In Victorian Days...
...by the late Mr James Edgar.

A native of the Parish of Ashkirk, Frank HOGG as a young lad started his business career as an apprentice clerk with the firm of Messrs.George & James Oliver, Solicitors, Tower Knowe, and remained with the firm throughout his all too short life.

In his early years he identified himself with the literary and mutual improvement societies of the perio, giving evidence in all such associations, of exceptional powers. While enjoying a keen debate,he was always kind and courteous to his opponents.The temperance cause found in him a staunch supporter, and when the
prohibition phase of the movement began he embraced it with great ardour and was one of it's warmest advocates.

Mr HOGG became a member of the Hawick Archaeological Society in 1865, and filled the office of treasurer for the long period of twelve years. He contributed several interesting papers to the Transaactions of the society, one dealing with the early records of his native parish. He also courted the muse,and to the MS. Magazine of the HAwick Literary Society in 1867 he contributed the well known and deservedly popular song,

"I Like Auld Hawick":-
"But I like auld Hawick,and her folk I like,
Her men and maidens free;
Sweet memories dwell in the guid auld toon,
That aye was kind to me."

This song was set to music by Mrs Dumbreck,at Teviotside Terrace, and still retains its popularity and is sung in Hawick circles all over the world. At the farewell supper given to Bailie Michie on the eve of his departure for
South Africa,26th September 1879. Mr HOGG sang this song and publicly acknowledged himself the author.
The Science and Art Classes found him a consellor and guide, but the work with which he may be said to have been most closely identified was the movement for the establishment of a Public Library and Reading Room. A member of the E.U. Congregational Church,Mr HOGG was a tower of strength to that body, and a frequent speaker at social and other gatherings.Musically inclined, he was an enthusiastic member of the church choir. A Conservative in politics,he was the joint secretary and treasurer to the Hawick Conservative Association. He
was a valued public citizen,and Frank Place was named out of respect for his memory,
Mr HOGG having resided in the Allars district. Taken all in all, he was a man of unswerving integrity and of high intellectual attainments and culture.

After but two day's serious illness he died on 17th February,1880, when only 40 years of age.
His remains were interred in Wilton Cemetery.

Bailie Morrison was the
nominee of the Liberals,the other two being Liberal-Unionists. The voting was on strictly party lines. Mr Wilson had the lowest number of votes, and on a final vote between Bailie Morrison and Bailie HOGG the latter was elected. During Provost HOGG's three years' tenure of office no very important municipal scheme
was undertaken, but into all the multifarios routine work of the council the Provost with much energy and enthusiasm, and earned the confidence,respect and goodwill of his colleagues. Mr HOGG was for many years a member of Hawick Parish Council,and of the Combination Poorhouse Committee. Reared in the old East Ena Burgher congregation, Mr HOGG was a pronounced Voluntary and warmly attached to East Bank Church,of which he was anelder,and for some time preses of the congregation.In early life Mr HOGG was a Liberal in politics, but after the Irish Home Rule Bill was introduced by Mr Gladstone he became a Liberal-Unionist and

Also interested in cricket,he was seldom absent from the Hawick and Wilton ground on match day. A Freemason, he was initiated into the mysteries of the Craft in the Lodge Hawick No. 111 in 1872.

John Amos HOGG

"Hawick Archaelogical Society"
Session 1941

"Hawick's Prominent Men In Victorian Days."

Sketches drafted by the late Mr. James Edgar...

The son of a Lilliesleaf schoolmaster, to which profession his ancestors for three generations had belonged, John Amos HOGG came to Hawick at an early age and apprenticed himself to the trade of a stockingmaker an occupation he followed through a long lifetime.In the parochial school,under his father's charge,he had acquired a liberal education,which qualified him for the prominent part he played in the public life of his adopted town for over half a century.

When the Chartist movement spread to Hawick in 1840, Mr.HOGG at once identified himself with it and was appointed secretary of the local branch. A keen Reformer from his early manhood,he was an active participant in the demonstration held at Jedburgh previous to the passing of the Reform Bill of 1832.

Mr. HOGG was one of the processionists who marched from Hawick. He was one of the founders of the Co-operative movement in Hawick in 1839,and at the start acted as interim secretary. The first shop aquired by the Society was at the head of Silver Street,the rental being only 6 pound a year.

The premises were open for two hours on two nights a week- Tuesday and Thursday, and from three o'clock on the Saturday afternoon.

Mr.HOGG, as one of the members of the committee, taking his turn regularly behind the counter. In all the local political struggles of the day Mr.HOGG took a very prominent part and exercised considerable influence among his fellow workmen.

He died on the 17th July 1882,in his 87th year.
