JOHN W. McHUGH, one of the respected and substantial citizens of eastern
Stanislaus, California, is a native of county Galway, Ireland, born June
22,1858, his parents being William and Margaret (Gilligan) McHugh. He was reared
in his native country, and in 1878 came to the United States and proceeded to
California. Arriving at San Francisco, he went, after a brief stay in the city,
to Menlo Park, and there he was employed on the magnificent Flood property, the
finest improved place in California. After six or seven months spent there, he
went to San Joaquin county and entered the employ of W. O. Robinson, for whom he
worked about three years and a half. He next rented land in Stanislaus county,
near the Twenty-six Mile house, and about seven or eight miles from Oakdale, on
the Stockton road. After five years there he bought 160 acres of land where he
now lives, two miles south of Oakdale, and on this he has made all the
improvements. During the time he has been located here he has also farmed a
quarter section adjoining his own place, renting it from the owner, and this
place he has also recently purchased, giving him 320 acres of productive land.
His place is devoted to grain for the most part, and about his residence he has
a small orchard.

   Mr. McHugh was married, October 16, 1882, to Miss Mary Devine, a native of
San Francisco. They have five children, namely: Maggie, Frank, Julia, William
and John. Mr. McHugh is a member of the Oakdale Lodge, A. O. U. W. Politically,
he is a Democrat.
