Also known as: Capt. M. Drohan, Maurice P. Drohan, M. P. Drohan, MAURICE DROHAN
family confidence: 0 — not family / context
The RELA camp key puts a Drohan at No. 45 (Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives papers and Butte Independent OCR snippets, read in Sept 2026; research notes, not filed sources). The curated transcription of the 7 Sep 1912 Anaconda Standard puts a 'Maurice Drohan' among the Silver Bow county delegates; the page image reads 'Maurice Goggins' there (not linked). The vision transcription of the 18 Mar 1920 reprint misreads him as 'M. F. Prehan'.
