   BARRETT J. HUGHES, of the firm Hughes Bros., Mt. Blanchard, was born November
28, 1852, in Franklin County, Ohio. His parents, James B. and Miriam (Dougherty)
Hughes, both natives of Ohio, came to Amanda Township, this county, in 1860, and
remained there on a farm until 1867, when they removed to Vanlue, Ohio, and
finally settled permanently in Mt. Blanchard, this county, in 1869. Here our
subject began clerking for J. H. Biddle & Co. in 1871, remaining with them until
March, 1883, with the exception of six months spent with E. & A. Thompson,
Mansfield, Ohio, in 1874. In March, 1883, Mr. Hughes, in partnership with his
brother, J. W., established a store in North Baltimore, Wood Co., Ohio, and in
March, 1884, they moved to Mt. Blanchard, this county, and located in the
building formerly occupied by Biddle & Co. Here Hughes Bros, have a complete
stock of dry goods, groceries, hats and caps, boots and shoes, clothing,
millinery and notions. Their thorough acquaintance with the people and their
uniform courtesy have enabled them to build up a large and flourishing trade.
