Bio For Clinton D. Hughes
Clinton D. Hughes, of Richland Township, was a successful teacher and farmer, and a good citizen, and his demise was the occasion of deep and widespread regret. His birth occurred in Belmont, Ohio, May 26, 1845, and he was a son of Scott and Phoebe (Bailey) Hughes. During his boyhood he gave much of time to attending the common schools, thus acquiring a good education. On the 12th of June 1863, when eighteen years of age, he enlisted in the First Ohio Heavy Artillery and was at the front until after the close of hostilities, being honorably discharged on the 25th of July 1865.
Subsequently Mr. Hughes came west and for a number of years taught school, following that profession in Manitou and Morgan counties, in Missouri and in Nemaha, Burt, Cass, and Saunders counties, in Nebraska. He was not only an efficient instructor but was also able to inculcate in his pupils high moral ideals thus further preparing them to fill places in the world with honor. He taught in all for about twenty five years and it would be difficult indeed to measure the extent of his influence. He also devoted some time to farming, having taken up a homestead of one hundred and sixty acres on his soldier's right, and he proved progressive and efficient as an agriculturist.
Clinton D. Hughes was married on the 3rd of March 1869, to Miss Georgia E. Batchelder, daughter of Joseph Batchelder, and to this union were born 6 children: Joseph, a resident of San Jose, California; Hattie, now Mrs. Ray Templeton, and the mother of five children, Ruby, Laurine, Bernice, Dorothy and Ralph, of whom the last name is deceased; Harry who married Abbie Gordon and has 2 children, Frances and Edna; Grace, the wife of Wyette Moyer and the mother of two children, Wilma and Erma; Frank, who married Lola Beaman, and has one daughter, Eloise; and Ray who resides with his mother.
Mr. Hughes believes in the policies of the republican party in regard to national issues but at local elections voted for the best man irrespective of his policital affiliation. He attended the Methodist Episcopal church and at times cast his influence on the side of right and justice. Through his membership with the Grand Army of the Republic he kept in touch with his comrades of the 60's and throughout his life manifested a high spirit of patriotism. He was successful in the management of his business affairs, and, although when he came to Nebraska he had but ten cents, he was independent at the time of death and his good judgment and enterprise were generally recognized. He passed away on the 30th of August 1906, and was buried in Sunrise cemetery at Wahoo.
