General Notes: Husband - Samuel O. Hugus

---

He passed the years of his childhood in the home of his grandfather, John Hugus. Here he remained until he had reached his majority, attending in the meantime the local schools, including the Greensburg Academy, but when he was twenty-one, he purchased eighty acres of good farm land near New Alexandria, Salem township, Westmoreland County, a purchase in which he was assisted by his grandfather, who also did what he could to enable the young man to get settled successfully in his agricultural venture. Later he sold this tract of eighty acres to the Keystone Coal Company and was employed by it to operate his farm at Salemsville, a post which he continued to fill for ten years. He then moved to Unity township and purchased another farm which was situated eight miles east of Greensburg and four miles south of Latrobe. This property, which was the John Steel farm, was one of the most
desirable pieces of land in Unity township. It consisted of approximately one hundred and fifty acres and was particularly well located with excellent surface soil of the greatest natural fertility and well drained. These advantages Mr. Hugus, by a judicious use of lime and fertilizer, emphasized so that now the farm became one of the model places in the community. To the general farming which he carried on there, Mr. Hugus added a dairy establishment which involved a herd of twenty-two cows, maintained by him on the place, and the milk and other products were disposed of in the neighborhood. His cows were of the Holstein and Guernsey breed and he sold the milk wholesale in Wilkinsburg.
Mr. Hugus took a particular interest the educational needs of the community. He served as a member on the Salem Township School Board, and at the same time was a member of the Unity Board of Education and was president of the latter body for some years.
