Well now whaddya make of [http://books.google.com/books?id=-eoaAAAAYAAJ this]? Apparently McHugh and the city marshall, [[Ed A. Marshall]], had a racket of accusing women of running "bawdy-houses" to extort money. Besides that, it seems very clear that McHugh was still mayor in at least August 1897, a full two years after our dates — which means our entire mayoral timeline may be unreliable. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">&mdash;&nbsp;'''''[[User:Admin|admin]]'''''&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;'''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]'''''&nbsp;</span> 08:17, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

:The timeline I got from the City Clerk states that McHugh was Mayor in 1895 and 1897, serving less than a full year each time. It doesn't get month specific unfortunately but it does indicate that each mayor following also served a portion of those years. Here's the relevant part from the Clerk's timeline:
 
 
<pre>1893-1894  W.E. Anderson
 
1895  Pat McHugh
 
Under New Charter  (By an act of the State Legislature which provided for a mayor and city Aldermen)
 
1895-1896  W.E. Anderson
 
1897  Pat McHugh
 
1897-1898  W.H. Northrup</pre>
 
 
:I've been meaning to go in and correct our timeline (which is 97% accurate) to bring it in line with the Clerk's, but, eh, been busy. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">—&nbsp;'''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]'''&nbsp;</span> 14:58, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 
::Okay, I guess that makes sense. The ''History of Escambia County'' has a chapter that seems to address this: "In municipal politics the struggle was to continue, and two years after Anderson's election he was defeated by Mr. McHugh. This brought a torrent of charges and counter-charges, and near armed conflict. In this confusion Captain W. H. Northup was named mayor of the city."

==Date of death==
 
There is a Patrick McHugh buried in St. Michael's with a DOD of [[January 13]], [[1916]]. Should we just assume it's him? <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">—&nbsp;'''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]'''&nbsp;</span> 00:28, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 
:It probably is, but I'd want to confirm before putting it in the article. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">&mdash;&nbsp;'''''[[User:Admin|admin]]'''''&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;'''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]'''''&nbsp;</span> 02:21, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
