General Notes: Husband - Wilson H. Hughes

---

He grew up on the home farm and meantime attended the common schools in the neighborhood. He helped his father until he reached his majority and then went to work on his own account, taking employment as a pumper in the oil fields in Clarion County, where he was engaged thus for the next three years. At the end of that time he returned to agricultural work, settling on a part of the home place, of which he owns thirty-four acres, and in addition to its cultivation he has carried on the production of oil, having followed every line of that business in his comprehensive experience. In company with Col. R. R. Richardson (who is now de­ceased) he began the development of the oil resources on his own land, where at the present writing he has twelve active wells with an average yield. Mr. Hughes has had the advantage of knowing the business sufficiently well to enable him to look after the production and management of his wells himself, having profited by his early experience and appreciating the benefits of good management. His land has all been cleared and cared for thriftily, the property being now in good condition in every respect, and a credit to the locality as well as concrete evidence of his good judgment. Though he has not taken any part in public life Mr. Hughes has given considerable thought to the larger questions affecting the general welfare, and he was formerly an ardent Prohibitionist, but now supporting the Republican Party. He attends the M. E. Church at Victory, to which he is a generous contributor. [CAB, 1055]
