General Notes: Husband - Joseph Winfield Hough
When his father went to California he left his family in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where Joseph W. was educated and grew to manhood. At the age of seventeen years, in 1863, he enlisted in Company B, Twenty-eighth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, serving under General Sherman in his famous march "From Atlanta to the Sea," and northward through the Carolinas to a junction with Grant in Virginia. During most of his service he was orderly to an officer on the staff of General Gerry. After the war he joined his father in California, arriving in San Francisco on his twenty-first birthday. He assisted in the teaming business and later on the Nevada ranch. Later he entered the employ of the Central Pacific railroad as freight agent at Palisade, Nevada. He later returned as far east as Iowa, locating on a farm near Danville, where he married, about 1872. In 1880 he bought a farm in Jewell County, Iowa, but did not live on it, and went to Minnesota, locating at Blue Earth, where he engaged in the lumber business for about two years. He then returned to Le Mars, Iowa, where he established a lumber yard and conducted a hotel. In 1899 he came again to Fayette County, Pennsylvania, locating at Connellsville, where he was engaged in the sand business for several years. In 1899 he was elected county treasurer of Fayette County, but after serving eleven months was stricken with a fatal illness and died. He was a Republican in politics, a Presbyterian in religion, and a member of the Masonic order.
