General Notes: Husband - Peter Titus Hughes

He was born March 7. [TV, 298]
He spent his youth on the farm in Cranberry Township, Venango County, PA, where he was born, obtaining his education in the local public schools. He was thoroughly drilled in the duties of the farm, remaining at home as his father's assistant until twenty-five years old. During the next fifteen years he acquired a comprehensive experience in the oil fields, while occupied as tool dresser and driller, and he has since been engaged in the production of oil on his own account, having developed the oil resources on the homestead farm, which he now owns. His long employment in the business, in its various branches, was a valuable preparation to insure success in his individual ventures, which have prospered notably. Mr. Hughes has the advantage of being able to handle his own drilling, enabling him to arrange his work most conveniently, and he is equally capable in all other branches of the business, which he has studied thoroughly. He has 146 acres in the home place and fifty-one producing wells there, besides a gas well, which provides power for the pumping and other operations. The land is under profitable cultivation, and has undergone steady improvement in his hands, being in up-to-date condition in every respect and speaking well for his standards and systematic methods. Mr. Hughes is considered one of the substantial men of Cranberry Township, and his interest in the general welfare has been recognized, his fellow citizens having chosen him to represent them on the school board, of which body he has been a member five years. His duties are performed with characteristic intelligence and fidelity to trust. [CAB, 961]
