General Notes: Husband - James W. Hughes

---

He remained on the parental farm in South Strabane township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and was educated in the common schools until his twenty-second year, when he began business for himself on a farm below Ten-Mile, Amwell township, where he remained two years. In the fall of 1876 he went to Iowa, but, returning home the following year, he purchased a hundred acres of the old farm in Amwell township. He then rented the H. H. Reynolds farm, and worked on it for three years, when he moved to the small house on Mr. Lacock's farm, and in 1883 built the barn on his own place, erecting a house there in 1886.
He was an eager reader of agricultural papers and current news. He voted the Democratic ticket on State issues, but in local politics he cast his ballot for the best man. He was auditor of the township from 1878 to 1881, and from 1887 to 1889, and was later committee-man from Amwell township, also holding other town offices.
