1269. Hugh McGuire Cory^1,26 was born on 28 Dec 1845 in New Washington, Crawford Co, OH. He died on 30 Apr 1922 in Shelby, Richland Co, OH. H. M. CORY, insurance. New Washington; was born in Cranberry Township, Crawford Co., Dec. 28, 1845. He is a son of Thomas and Esther (Brown) Cory, appropriate mention of whom will be found in the biography of Hon. J. E. Cory in this work.

Mr. Cory was reared on his father's farm and during his youth received quite a good common-school education. When 20 years old he commenced attending the male and female seminary of Lexington, Richland Co., Ohio, where he remained two years. He then for one year attended the Ohio Wesleyan University, at Delaware, Ohio.

During the spring of 1870 Mr. Cory went to Kansas, where he engaged in the real estate business for a number of years, and, while engaged in this read law under the instruction of Thomas C. Cory, a brother, who was living in Parsons. In August 1878, he returned to his native neighborhood, where he engaged in his present occupation. Mr. Cory represents the Continental Insurance Co. of New York, one of the best companies in the United States. It has a cash capital of $1,000,000 and the popularity of this company is largely increased in securing Mr. Cory's services in Crawford and Richland bounties.

During Mr. Cory's life, he has taught school to some extent, in which he has invariably given excellent satisfaction. He is a Democrat in politics, and we predict for him in the near future an honorable position in that party. He became State Senator from Ohio in 1908, but was defeated for his second term.
