DIED - For eight months "Judge" [Hugh M.] STEPHENSON, as he was familiarly known, had been an invalid, and the announcement of his death Thursday, was, therefore no surprise to his neighbors and numerous friends in this city. Through the kindness of a friend of the deceased, the Sentinel is furnished the following obituary:
Hugh M. STEPHENSON was born in Iredell county, North Carolina, December 29, 1818, and at nine years of age moved with his parents to Henry county, this state, and after a residence of several years moved to Grant county, where he remained till 1844, when he settled at LaGro, Wabash county and in the same year was married to Marrie J. THOMPSON, who survives him.
Not long after he became a resident of Wabash county, he was elected its Sheriff, two terms. When gold was discovered in California he was among those who visited that Eldorado, going there in 1850 and returning home to Wabash in 1853. He was at one time assistant doorkeeper of the Indiana House of Representatives. After his return from California he was engaged in business in Wabash.
In 1878 he removed to Rochester, and prepared an abstract of the real estate titles of the county and was engaged in abstract business until taken sick. He also served one term as Justice of the Peace of Rochester Township and was an active worker in starting the Building and Loan association.
Two children, a son and a daughter, preceeded Mr. Stephenson to the spirit world, and five sons, William, Leslie, Joseph, Frank and Rome C. [STEPHENSON], with the mother, survive.
The funeral, which was held at the family residence on West Washington street Saturday afternoon, was conducted by Rev. J. H. WILSON of the M.E. church, of which deceased was a faithful member, and the remains were followed to their last resting place in Odd Fellows cemetery by a large concourse of sympathizing friends and citizens.
