Harry C. Dornan    

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.
