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.
