Someone has a private tree on ancestry which appears to have documents, headstone relating to Bridget (McCue) McHugh.
Headstone taken 2 June 2012 Danville. Danville Daily News 27 June 1879 (could be the date of death or obituary date for Bridget ?)
Danville Commercial News 27 Februaru 1905 (presume that relates to the death of Martin)

Might be worth contacting.
