  HIRAM B. HUGHES Among those who have been active in developing the agricultural resources of the county, and who have materially promoted its rise and progress, may be mentioned the name of Mr. Hughes of Eden Township.  While his farm is not one of the largest in this locality, it is as well improved as the majority, and its two hundred and fifty acres are under a high state of cultivation.  By hears of application to his occupation and by much arduous labor, he has gained a solid financial footing, and his landed possessions will doubtless be increased as time goes by.
     The subject of this notice is the eldest of the four children comprising the family of George and Amanda (Bell) Hughes, and was born on the home farm in Eden Township, Feb. 20, 1852.  He was reared to man's estate in Eden Township, where his entire life has been passed, with the exception of five years spent in Knox County.  Upon selecting a vocation he chose that of agriculture, with which he was most familiar, and to this he has devoted his exclusive attention.  His mother died in Eden Township about 1865, after having borne her husband four children, Hiram B., Hugh, Ida and John D., deceased.
     In Washington Township, on the 23d of February, 1871, was solemnized the marriage of Hiram B. Hughes and Miss Mary Stone, a native of that township, and the daughter of the late Jacob and Johanna Stone.  They have established a pleasant home on their farm and are highly regarded by neighbors and friends.  Mr. Hughes is wide-awake in regard to the political movements of the day, and earnestly espouses the doctrines and policy of the Republican party, taking an active part in local affairs and supporting the candidates of that political organization.  In religious belief he is connected with the Disciples' Church.

  JOHN T. HUGHS, Superintendent of the Licking County Infirmary, was born in West Carlisle, Coshocton County, Ohio, Sept. 25, 1843.  At the age of ten years he came with his father to Licking County and settled in Eden Township, remaining with him until his death seven years later.  Prior to that, however, he had learned from him the trade of a blacksmith and soon afterward began to follow the trade in Eden Township, remaining thus engaged until Dec. 7, 1891.
     In Eden Township, Dec. 16, 1868, Mr. Hughs was united in marriage with Miss Mary E. Harriman, who was born in this township, Dec. 12, 1850.  Two children have been born of the union:  Louis M. who is the wife of H. W. Colville, and Frank C. While a resident of Eden Township Mr. Hughs took an active part in local affairs and was the incumbent of several township offices.  In his political adherence he has always advocated Democratic principles, and is prominent in the ranks of this political organization.
     On the 7th of December, 1891, Mr. Hughs was appointed Superintendent of the Licking County Infirmary, and this position he has since filled to the satisfaction of all concerned.  The Infirmary is one of the largest institutions of the kind in Ohio and has accommodations for about one hundred and fifty inmates.  It is conducted upon strictly business principles, in a most efficient and capable manner, and the neat appearance of the building and its surroundings proves the energy and excellent management of the Superintendent.  Socially Mr. Hughs is a member of Utica Lodge No. 777, I. O. O. F.
