HUGH CORRANCE, one of the old and highly respected citizens of Dubuque, carries on business as a dealer in groceries and provisions at the northwest corner of Thirteenth and Iowa Streets. He is a native of Scotland, his birth having occurred in the vicinity of Holytown, in the county of Lanarkshire, November 20, 1839, John Corrance, his father, was a man of intelligence and a prominent citizen of the community in which he lived. He took quite prominent part in public affairs and held several government commissions, He married Miss Margaret McNeil, and both he and his estimable wife spent their entire lives in Scotland.

Hugh Corrance is the youngest in a family of eight children, six sons and two daughters. Only three of the number ever came to this country, one sister, now the wife of A. McAllum, now resides in Dubuque. The gentleman whose name heads this record received such educational privileges as were afforded by the public schools of his native land. In 1863 he bade adieu to the home and friends of his boyhood and with a desire to try his fortune in the New World crossed the briny deep. This was in 1863. He landed in New York City and came at once to Dubuque, where he has since made his home. He sought and obtained employment as a clerk with the firm of Mulligan & Hentrager, and later was employed with John Mehlhop. By industry and economy he secured some capital, and in 1870 he started in business on his own account, opening a grocery store in connection with P. P. Saddler, under the firm name of Saddler & Corrance. This connection was continued for two years, after which he bought out his partner's interest, and since that time he has been alone in business. He carries a good stock of groceries and provisions, and as the result of his courteous treatment and fair and honest dealing he has built up a large business.

Mr. Corrance was married March 28, 1866, the lady of his choice being Miss Anna Saddler, daughter of P. P. Saddler, his former partner. Their marriage, has been blessed with six children, four sons and two daughters: Mae, now the wife of Dr. J. V. Conzett; Edith, at home; William S., who assists his father in the store; John P., who is also clerking in the store, and Hugh, who is now in school. They also lost one son, Harry, who died November 20, 1893, in his nineteenth year.

In his social relations, Mr. Corrance is an Odd Fellow, belonging to Harmony Lodge No.2, I. O. O. F. He and his family are all members of the Second Presbyterian Church, in which he has served as Elder for sixteen years. He takes a very prominent part in church work and is recognized as one of its leading members. His life has been well and worthily passed, and an honorable, upright career has gained for him high regard. In connection with his other business interest; he is a Director of the Dubuque Building & Loan Association, and also of the Smedley Manufacturing Company. With pleasure we present this record of his life to our readers, for he is one of the best citizens of Dubuque.
