General Notes: Husband - John Westley Dugan

---

His education was as liberal a one as the schools of those days were able to furnish, and he was an earnest student and profited by his instruction in them. He followed farming as an occupation, but found time for a great number of other duties. He was an exceptionally fine musician, and this brought him in connection with many churches, in all of which he held offices of honor. He was an elder in the Presbyterian church of Parnassus for fifty years. He was a man of faithful, self-sacrificing disposition, and earned for himself the title of "The peacemaker." In politics he was a Republican, and took an active interest in the affairs of the community.
