Burt Y. McHugh was born on a farm, the home of his father and mother, Charles McHugh and Elizabeth Y. McHugh, in the town of Colesville, Broome County, New York, on the 19th day of February 1881, and died at the Hospital of the Good Shepherd, in Syracuse, N.Y., on the 19th day of September 1916. When a young man he learned the undertaker's business, working with Mr. Brown at Deposit, with Mr. Beers at Hancock, and afterward in New York City. He became an expert in the business. A little more than five years ago he came to the village of Afton [Chenango Co., NY], and in the early spring of 1911, he opened up the business of undertaking and furniture. He continued this business up to the time he was incapacitated and went to the hospital. In June, 1911, he married Miss Evelyn Griffis, daughter of E. Walker Griffis and Mary D. Griffis, of Hancock, N.Y. He became thoroughly identified with the business interests of Afton and took great interest in it. He was a member of the Masonic Order, Lodge No. 390, located at Afton, and filled all the chairs in the Order of Odd Fellows. He was secretary of the Afton Tennis Club and also of the Afton Rod & Gun Club and was connected with various other social and business interests. Honorable, sympathetic, generous, and in every way lovable, he won the esteem and affection of the community of Afton and the surrounding country. Jovial in his companionship, always cheerful under the most trying circumstances, always ready to give a helping hand to those in distress, loving his friends with a great love that won theirs in return, he gained for himself a large place in the hearts of his fellows at home and elsewhere. Loved, respected and enjoyed, Burt Y. McHugh lived a happy and successful life. His memory will be cherished not only by his immediate family but by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Afton may well honor his memory. Taken in the prime of life from the midst of his usefulness, he has gone home leaving to his family and friends sweet memories and a high standard of honor and success. As individuals the best of men can bear but a small part of the vast interests of mankind. However great, his influence can be but small; however small, if good his influence is great. We may well say the world was better for Burt Y. McHugh having lived in it.
