Lemhi Herald - Salmon, Idaho - 07 December, 1911:
"Meets Death In A Mine. - A cave of rock in the Kittie Burton mines last Friday unfortunately caught Taylor Hughes, a miner, and instantly crushed out his life. Hughes and another miner, according to information received here, were engaged in moving a rock-drilling machine, when a ton or so of the tunnel roof fell upon young hughes. Fellow employees had soon extricated him from the mass of rock, but he had received a terrible cut in the back of his head, his right side was crushed in, and life was extinct. Deceased was only 17 years of age, and he was the son, and only living child of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hughes of Gibbonsville. He was born and raised in that camp. A heart rendering tale of pity and parental grief is that of the news reaching home. Word was broken to the parents by Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Bradshaw and Mrs. Lena Allen, and the despairing sorrow that follows baffles description. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes once had three bright children. They lost one seven years ago, they buried a second one a year and a half ago, and now this promising, industrious boy, their pride and joy, their last apparent stay and comfort is gone. The burden is heavy upon that house. Wallace Sinclair and the Glennan boys on Saturday took the body to the home at Gibbonsville and on Monday the funeral and burial were held."
