Mrs. John Hughes.
Death of an Elmira Lady at Jackson Summit Pennsylvania.
An old and respected resident has gone in the person of Mrs. John Hughes, of No. 808 Oak street, this city, who died at Jackson Summit, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday morning. Mrs. Hughes was born in Allegany county, this state, in 1832, and came to this city with her parents when but seven years old, and had lived in the immediate vicinity of where she died ever since. She was the daughter of Samuel and Lydia Lewis, and was married to John Hughes in 1848. She was the mother of six children, who all survive her, with her husband, and three brothers, Horace, Nelson and James Lewis, of this city. Her children are John Hughes, jr., of Waverly, New York; Thomas, of this city; Mrs. Catherine Impson, of Jackson Summit, Pennsylvania; Mrs. Lydia Strauss, Mrs. Maria O'Daniels and Miss Mamie Hughes, of this city.
The married life of Mrs. Hughes was one of unbroken happiness. For forty - seven years their home was the resort of the grandchildren, where grandma's welcome made all at home, and from which the stranger and needy were never turned empty away. The cloud of death never entered their humble abode, her own coffin being the first to cast a gloom where sunshine had dwelt.
She was a member of the Benton Street Baptist church, and adorned her profession by a meek and lowly life in accord with her Lord and Master. In her death the father, and husband is called upon to mourn the loss of a noble companion and wife, the children a loving mother, and the community a devoted Christian and neighbor, who has now gone to her reward. The funeral services were held in the Benton Street church, where she was so long a member, at 10 o'clock Friday. The sermon was preached by Reverend Dr. Henry, of the First Baptist church, to a large circle of friends. The interment was in Woodlawn cemetery.
There may not be a marker at Mahala's resting place.
