Jason Marion Huggins, 76, butcher and grocer in Coffeyville thirty years, died at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his home, 204 West Seventh street. Mr. Huggins suffered a stroke Aug. 20, 1935, in St. Louis, Mo., while he and his wife were en route to Hartford City, Ind., to visit relatives. He had shown slight improvement at times, and was able to go for a motor car ride New Year's day, but his condition had been critical since Wednesday.
Mr. Huggins was born Oct. 28, 1862, in Blackford county, Ind., a son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Huggins.
He joined his father in the Huggins & Son market in Hartford City, Ind. He had been in the grocery and meat market business more than fifty years. J. M. Huggins and his son, Charles W. Huggins, came to Coffeyville Thanksgiving day, 1908, and purchased the meat market operated in connection with the Model market and grocery, 5 East Ninth street. Later the Huggins & Son market was moved to 121 West Ninth street, and still later to 119 West Eighth street, where it was operated for twenty-nine years. A year ago the store was moved to 312 West Sixth street.
Besides the son mentioned, Mr. Huggins is survived by his wife, Mrs. Lydia Huggins; a daughter, Mrs. H. E. Passmore, 101 Walnut street, Coffeyville; a sister, Mrs. B. W. Ayres, wife of the dean of Taylor university at Upland, Ind., nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Mrs. Ayres suffered injuries in a fall down a stairway two weeks ago and is in a hospital at Upland.
Funeral services, in charge of the Rev. R. Ernest Gordon, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church, of which Mr. Huggins was a member, will be held at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the Perrill-Mills funeral home. Burial will be in Fairview cemetery.
