ID on Mike O'Hearn?

Plodding persistence pays off. Almost a year's worth of microfilm after the Mike O'Hearn/Charles Chester face-off, I found a brief announcement that "Mike O'Hearn, the Hobart veterinarian," had married Miss Rosy Niksch. A couple of months later, Mike was running for Ross Township constable. He didn't win, however, which was probably a good thing in view of how bad he was at keeping the peace.

How many Mike O'Hearns could there have been in Hobart? It figures that he would be a pretty well known guy — the original story started off just saying, "Sunday afternoon Charley Chester … went over to the O'Hearn residence," as if all Gazette readers would know who Mike O'Hearn was and where they could find him if they wanted their arm broken.
