Biography

Hughlina was born in 1888. She is the daughter of Hugh McCain and Jane McKay.

During her early 20s, Hughina was a student nurse at Bath City Hospital in Bath, Maine.^[1] Whether she completed that course of study and ever practiced nursing is unknown.

Hughina ended up becoming a teacher of stenography. She first taught at the Newcastle Comprehensive HIgh School from 1925 to 1928^[2] She apparently remained a teacher since she is listed in the 1957 Voters List as a teacher.^[3]

Hughina seems to never have married. She died in 1974 and is buried in the Old McCain Cemetery, Florenceville, Carleton, New Brunswick, Canada.
