''Hager, Old Time Cartoonist Of Times Is Dead''. )〕〔 〕 Hager's nickname stems from his time as a dentist in Terre Haute, Indiana before he moved to Seattle, Washington in 1889 and began working for the ''Seattle Times''.〔〔 Hager retired in 1925 due to blindness.〔〔 In Seattle he was known as a weatherman and for his commentaries (using a cartoon of the Umbrella Man and of a talking duck).〔 ==Background== He was the son of Jacob H. Hager and Carrie Ross of Terre Haute, Indiana.〔 Before moving to Indiana, his family had lived in Hagerstown, Maryland.〔 He married Anna Hyde, who gave him four children.〔 Two of his children were alive when he died. After he attended school in Europe (his obituary says Germany, but his passport application said Zurich, Switzerland), he set up as a dentist in Terre Haute. He moved to Seattle in 1899, where he continued as a dentist. in 1909 he began cartooning full-time with the Seattle Daily Times and gave up his practice. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Hager (cartoonist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
