H.E. Horan or H.E. Hogan was the possible name of an elderly man who was found in the washroom at Union Station at Billings, Montana on April 5, 1955 at 2:30 a.m. He died of a probable heart attack.
No railroad ticket or baggage check was found with him. However, the fact he carried paper dollar bills instead of silver suggested to the county coroner he may not be from Montana. The county coroner also stated that the man could only be identified through fingerprints, although it is unknown fingerprint records remain available for comparison.
The unknown man was subsequently buried at Riverside Cemetery in Yellowstone County.
