James Langan, Contractor, Dies
James Langan, 85, father of the famous runner, Owen Langan, died yesterday afternoon at about 2:30, on the stoop of his home, 172 Lexington Avenue, where he had sat down to rest after a walk to the corner drug store. Wallie Eames, well known Jersey City singer and entertainer, who knew the aged gentleman, saw him sitting on the stoop and went over to him. Seeing that he was unable to respond, Eames called help and assisted Mr. Langan into his home, and then summoned Dr. Thomas Keegan, the family physician. When the doctor arrived a few minutes he declared Mr. Langan dead, and the body was claimed by members of the family. Mr. Langan, who was 85 years old on February 5 last, was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and came to Jersey City between 55 and 60 years ago. He was a general contractor and for many years conducted a thriving business. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mary McHugh Langan, one son, Owen Langan, whose record as a runner is internationally known, and one daughter, Mrs. Thomas Lynch.
