A Pioneer Family
Friday, 4 August 1876

	Mr. Thomas Hughes, of York township, one of the pioneers who has lived 
in this county for nearly thirty years, was in town on Saturday, accompanied 
by his entire family, for the purpose of having pictures taken.  Mr. Hughes 
was the first bricklayer in the county, doing all the work in that line, 
beside tending his farm.  His family consisted of five boys and five girls, 
all grown up, the oldest of which is thirty-five years of age.  Two of his 
sons, by industry and close application have been promoted to the position of 
conductor on the Panhandle RR.  Another is a school teacher, and all the 
children are liberally educated. The most remarkable point in the history of 
this family, is the fact that death has never invaded its circle.  Mr. Hughes 
also informs us that his doctor bills have not amounted to $50.  
	Messrs, Hartsock, & Hester took the pictures of the family and have 
grouped, them very tastefully, making one of the largest and handsomest 
photographs that we have seen.
