Mary (Tucker) Hughes was born on January 9, 1857 in Tennessee, and she was the daughter of Thomas Galleway Tucker (ca 1818–1878) and Sarah Ann "Sallie" ( -- ) Tucker (1825–1874). {In the 1860 census Mary is listed as 6 years old, and in the 1870 census she's 15 years old, so perhaps the birth year of 1857 isn't quite accurate.}

She was married about 1882 to Cyrus "Clifton" Hughes (ca 1850- ).

Living at 815 Lea Avenue in Nashville, Mary was 65 years old and a widow when she passed away on June 7, 1922 at home. (Her Death Certificate has her as 65 years old, while her obituary has her in her 70th year.}

Survivors included daughters Sadie Hughes and Emma Hughes, sons Albert Hughes and Edward Hughes, sister Mrs Alexine Emrey of New York and Mrs Fannie Hughes of Nashville.

Funeral Services were held on June 10th at the Hughes home, and burial was in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Nashville, with Roesch-Johnson-Charlton Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.


Much of the above is from Tennessee, U.S., Deaths and Burials Index, 1874-1955. Additional information is from her published obituary in THE TENNESSEAN on June 10, 1922.
