William Harrison Hughes, sixth son and eighth child of Charles and Sarah (Schooley) Hughes, was born in Hamilton township, Mer- cer county, New Jersey, August 22, 1840. He was educated in the public schools of his native township, and then became a student in the schools of Trenton. Upon the completion of his education, he commenced to work on the farm of his father, in order to master agricultural work in all its manifold details. He was thus occupied until his marriage, and during the win- ter terms taught school in the old Washington schoolhouse. He then took charge of the Hughes farm, which he cultivated on shares, principally for general market produce, but soon, in addition to this, started a dairy farm, of which he made an immediate and continued success. He then removed to the farm now occupied by E. P. Mount, and owned by him, remaining there five years, and cultivating this also on shares. He bought the John Clark farm in 1870, this con- sisting of one hundred and nineteen acres, and was engaged in cultivating this until the time of his death in 1906. For more than twenty years he served a large number of customers with milk, his daily output averaging about one hundred quarts, and he was also very success- ful in the raising of poultry. The farm is one of the best in the county, and the residence and other buildings upon it are kept in a most excel- lent state of repair.
Mr. Hughes was prominent and influential in the community, a man of excellent business abil- ity, a kind neighbor, a sincere friend, a devoted and affectionate husband and father, and his death was deeply and sincerely regretted by all. It was caused by a cancerous growth in the stom- ach, from which he suffered severely, though for- tunately but a short time. He died at the age of sixty-six years, and was buried in the Pres- byterian cemetery, after funeral services held in the Presbyterian church opposite. He had been a member of this church for forty-two years, a member of the church choir for fifty years, elder of the church for twenty-six years, trustee . treat with considerable loss.

A detachment of the Amer- ican army was stationed there, when a troop of five hundred English soldiers was sent to take possession of the place. These, however, were surrounded and so severely treated that they were afraid to proceed and were obliged to re-
