General Notes: Husband - John Hughes
His parents were natives of Scotland, and came to America at an early date, settling in Pennsylvania.
He was among the early iron manufacturers, engaged for many years in the blast furnace business; he owned and controlled the Old Maple Furnace in Butler County. He conducted a successful business and after the old furnace was abandoned he turned his attention to farming pursuits and subsequently moved to Virginia, where he embarked in the lumber business. Later he returned to his native state and became interested in the oil business.
He was an active worker in the Methodist Episcopal church, and was a liberal contributor in the building of the Farmington, Pennsylvania, church. He was broad-minded and public-spirited, believing that the world should and does progress. In his politics he was a Republican and took much interest in public matters.
