General Notes: Husband - Edward Reed Hugus


He received his primary education in the public schools of Pittsburgh, later becoming a student in a private institute in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, and finally taking a business course at the Western University of Pennsylvania. He began his business career in the factory of his father, remaining with him for a period of twelve years, and then went into business for himself, buying out the Atlas Works, a foundry and machine business, from William Coleman, at that time the leading spirit among the iron and steel men of Pittsburgh. He conducted this business successfully for fifteen years, eventually selling out and taking up the business of real estate. During his connection with the machine and foundry business he constructed the rolling mills for some of the large steel owners, among them being such firms as Edgar Thomson, Millvale, and Graff & Bennett, the latter firm being the pioneers of the iron and steel industry of Pittsburgh. Mr. Hugus was a life member of the Pittsburg Country Club, the Oakmont Club and the Pittsburg Board of Trade.
