Died. - At his home on Mound Branch, on February 1st, 1890, of Brights disease and LaGrippe, John Hugg, aged 59 years, 7 months and 15 days. The funeral service was preached by Rev. Viele of the Presbyterian church, after which the Masonic order of which he was an honored member, took charge of the remains and he was buried with all the impressive ceremonies of that order in Grace Lawn cemetery. Mr. Hugg was born in Chester, New Jersey, June 17th, 1830. He moved with his fathers family to Illinois about 1851, and from there to old Howard county in the spring of 1870, settling on Mound Branch where he lived until his death. He was married December 4, 1870 to Miss Helen McClure, a daughter of Warren McClure. He leaves his widow and four children the oldest a young lady of some 18 years of age, the other three boys. His mother aged 81 years is still living at Butler, Illinois, and he has also a brother, Sam Hugg who lives on the adjoining farm. Mr. Hugg was one of our most influential citizens, honored by all who knew him, of a very kindly genial nature, his hospitality knew no bounds and his house was ever open to his friends. The country at large has sustained a serious loss in his death, and his family an irreparable one. It was the good fortune of the writer to be intimately acquainted with him for sixteen years, and he ever found him a man of his word and a good and worthy citizen.
