Married in Wyandotte, Michigan on February 25, 1877 to Augusta Reschke, widow of Frederick SCHROEDER. They had three daughters. He was buried June 8, 1925 in Woodmere Cemetery. Undertaker was H. L. Graunstadt of Wyandotte.
Many newspaper articles found on Hugo including:
Hugo, of the Arbeiter hall, is branching out as a real estate owner and builder of houses for business and tenement purposes. There's not a more cute or far-seeing citizen in Wyandotte than the landlord of the Arbeiter. He could give pointers to a Philadelphia lawyer or a Detroit alderman. His business qualities are up to date and he is equally at home dispensing the foam, acquiring real estate or looking after the interests of the Eureka. William, Theodore and Hugo are fast friends -- the three graces -- who have built themselves up by far seeing qualities and belief in the progressiveness of the city. Hugo makes periodical visits amongst his brothers in trade to get and give pointers. He has a fancy for well bred dogs and keeps a well selected stock of canines continually at the hall. The German customers are legion and many others patronize the dispensary counter.

OBITUARY:
RIPE IN YEARS
HUGH MEHLHOSE
DIED YESTERDAY
Hugo Mehlhose, who had lived in Wyandotte for 55 years, and been prominently identified with the business, political and fraternal life of the city for a large portion of that time, died at his home 48 Van Alstyne boulevard, north, at 11:45 o'clock yesterday morning. He had reached the age of 80 years.
Mr. Mehlhose had been ill for the past four months and had been confined to his bed for six weeks.
Deceased was born in Germany, coming to Wyandotte in 1870. He first lived on Front street, at the corner of Oak, where he ran a confectionery shop. Later, he engaged in the grocery business in a store just south of the old Arlington hotel. Still later, he was actively connected with the starting of the Eureka brewery at Front and Poplar streets, a busines [sic] which later was absorbed by the Marx Brewing Co. Mr. Mehlhose, always a forceful figure in the membership of the local Arbeiter society, was the first lessee of Arbeiter hall, when it was opened in 1885. For many years he conducted this popular resort.
He was a charter member of the Wyandotte Arbeiter society, and one of the oldest members of the I. O. O. F.
For many years, as a side line, he conducted an ocean steamship agency.
He was a state trustee of the Arbeiter bund [sic], which will assemble here next week in convention.
In 1911, while the charter commission was drafting Wyandotte's commission form of government, Mr. Mehlhose was chosen to fill the vacancy on the commission caused by the death of William Campbell, who passed away before the charter was completed.
Of a jovial, easy-going disposition, the deceased was generally liked and had many warm friends among the older population of Wyandotte. He died possessed of considerable property.
Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Guy Fox and Miss Anna Mehlhose, and two stepsons, Carl F. Schroeder and Fred Schroeder of Wyandotte, besides eight grandchildren and several nephews and nieces.
Funeral arrangements had not been completed when The Herald went to press, but the funeral will probably be held on Monday from the home on Van Alstyne boulevard.
