Western Christain Advocate-October 21, 1882
Hughes- Rev. Thomas M. Hughes, of Blairsville, Ga., was born january 31, 1809 and died August 22,1882, in the seventy-fourth year of his age. He was licensed to preach the Gospel in 1839. Ordained deacon by Bishop Andrew in 1847, abd ordained an elder by Bishp pierce in 1867. In his death it may be truly said a great man in Isreal has fallen, a strong pillar in the Methodist Church is removed. He enever joined the itinerant ranks but was a local preacher - in labors abundant, regular and prompt in his appointments, efficient and impressive in his preaching. He was distinguished as a sweet singer. In his ministry of more than forty years, among the same people, he maintained an unwavining popularity, never became stale. He enjoyed a stability of character and uniformity of deportment attained by few, comparatively, in this eventful life. In his domestic relations he was the patriarch of a large family of sons, daughters and grandchildren, several of whom are ministers of the Gospel, one in the North Georgia conference. as a citizen, he was patriotic; strong in his convictions, and watchful of the interest of the country. During his life he held several positions of honor and trust by the suffrerage of his people, amoung them the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court of Union County, Georgia, which he filled for sixteen consecutive years. Also he served two terms in the Legislature of Georgia. But he finished up the work of a useful life, and peacefully passed away to his final reward in heaven, leaving behind him the stimulus of a good example and a good name, which is to be chosen rather than great riches.
