HARRY C. DORNAN, attorney at law, Coudersport,
son of Thomas Dornan, was born in Pottsville, Schuylkill Co., Penn., in
1848. There he received his early education, and for a couple of years
pursued his studies with a private teacher, completing his classical
education at the University of Pennsylvania. Close application to study
impaired his health, and for a year and a half he sought to regain his
health in travel, after which he studied law with Hon. James H. Campbell,
of Philadelphia, and also in the law department of the university. He was
admitted to the bar in Philadelphia in 1869, where he first began the
practice of law. He afterward located in Schuylkill county, but removed to
McKean county, thence to Coudersport, Potter county, where, after a time,
he became associated with Hon. Isaac Benson, in the practice of law, and
now has a large and remunerative practice. Mr. Dornan is an active
Democrat, but not an office seeker. He married, on September 7, 1880, Miss
Hattie, daughter of the late Ezra M. Huntley, of Herkimer county, N. Y.
