When two brothers married two sisters,
it made for one amazing Nevada story.
The University of Nevada has been a big part of this issue’s featured family. At one point, Veronica
(Leehy) Horgan was the oldest living graduate of Nevada, and was featured in Nevada Silver & Blue
back in the day when it was still called UNR Times. Edwin Cantlon was the student body treasurer his
junior year. Grace Cantlon was a member of Phi Beta Phi and she lettered for the rifle team. But of
all the fond memories, perhaps the most distinctive one is the fact that two brothers—Thomas and
Jack Horgan—married sisters Grace and Mary Margaret Cantlon, forever connecting their families …
and building one of Nevada’s most unique family trees.
