Book Title: 

Under business notices, it lists the following: 
"Hughes, J., Carriage, Sign and Ornamental Painter. Residence, Boon St." 


Additional Comments:
Thanks to Jim Moore for this lookup on John HUGHES [1834-1919], my 2 great
grandfather from North Wales, to New York City, NY, to Barnveld, NY.

The map shows his residence to be on the North side of Boon Street, 
opposite the intersection of Boon Street and Vanderkemp Avenue. 
The original name of the village was Oldenbarneveld. It was subsequently changed to
Trenton. However, Trenton, NY looked too much like Trenton, NJ and mail was
misrouted. To resolve this, they named the Post Office Barneveld while the village
was still Trenton. However, when I grew up in the area, everyone called it
Barneveld. In recent years, they officially changed the name to Barneveld.
