Historical/biog note:
Azel Hough (ca. 1796-1856) was a proprietor of general stores first in Ephratah, Fulton County, New York, from about 1828 to 1841, and later in Saint Johnsville, Montgomery County, New York, from about 1839 to 1856. Hough was also involved with other business enterprises as well, including a sawmill and a gristmill.
Review:
These papers consist chiefly of bookkeeping records and other kinds of financial records kept by Azel Hough detailing financial transactions at the general stores he had operated as well as his interests in the operations of a gristmill and a sawmill. The records also reveal he operated his business in partnership with others over the years. Those identified in the records were Philip Erckenbrack, John W. Riggs, and Henry Adams. After Azel Hough passed away in 1856, the records indicate his son, Walter Hough, had taken over the management of the general store.
