REV. HUGH STACKHOUSE, present resident minister of the Methodist Protestant
church, Mooresville, Ind., was born in Breckinridge County, Ky., November 9,
1837. His parents, William and Jane (McNab) Stackhouse, natives of England
and of North Carolina respectively, came to Indiana in the year 1841,
settled in Orange County, and there ended their days. They had eleven
children--eight sons and three daughters--and six of the sons and one of the
daughters were older than the subject of this sketch. Up to eighteen years
of age, Hugh Stackhouse lived upon a farm, and from his father (who was a
superior scholar), and through a pretty regular attendance at the public
schools, he received a good English education. About this time, he began
his theological studies, and in the year 1859 was received into conference
at Morristown, Ind., and two years thereafter regularly ordained Elder of
the church. After being received into conference in 1859, he was at once
assigned to Richland Circuit, which embraced twelve places for preaching,
and held this charge three years. The year following he occupied the
Monroe Circuit; and on April 29, 1863, he was married at Solsberry, Ind.,
to Nancy Jane, daughter of William and Mary Hannum, of Ohio, and has had
born to him four children--Urbine, Charles H. (deceased), Arthur and Cora
May. Since entering the ministry, the Rev. Mr. Stackhouse has been kept
constantly on duty, and during the time has held some of the most important
charges in the United States. He is a thorough theologian, and ranks high
among the many eloquent ministers of the Methodist Protestant Church. In
addition to his pastoral duties, he is the occasional correspondent for
several Church periodicals, and holds the position regularly of
Corresponding Elder for the "Methodist Recorder". He has represented his
conference in four General Conferences and two General Conventions; is a
Royal Arch Mason, a Republican in politics and a stanch advocate of the
cause of temperance.
