PIONEER OF McCULLOCH—
Mrs. Sarah P. Hughes
Claimed By Death
Mrs. Sarah P. Hughes, on
the oldest settlers of McCulloch
County, and a resident of the
Cowboy community for 69 years
died at her home at about 9 o’-
clock Wednesday night. She ob-
served her 90th birthday anniver-
sary last October 4. Mrs. Hughes
has been ill about three weeks.
Funeral arrangements were in
charge of Roy O. Wilkerson &
Son of Brady, with services being
held this afternoon at 4 o’clock at
the family residence, and burial
in the Cowbov cemetery.
Mrs. Hughes came to McCull-
och County from Parker County
with her late husband, W. G. S.
Hughes, settling in the Cowboy
•community in 1876. Mr. Hughes
died in 1925, with Mrs. Hughes as-
suming charge of the farming and
ranching interests left by him un-
til about three weeks ago, when
she was stricken ill. At all times
her mind was alert and she was
very interested in the livestock
business, following the daily mar-
kets closely. She had watched her
own herds grow from the long-
horns to the white faces and was
very proud of them.
Born in Mississippi on October
4, 1854, Mrs. Hughes moved to
Texas in her early childhood. She
was the mother of nine children,
two of them died in infancy. The
others are: S. W. Hughes of Bra-
dy, Mrs. R. L. McGaugh of
Brownwood, Mrs. W. S. Lee of
Mercury, H. M. Hughes, who died
some five years ago in Brown-
wood, Alma Hughes, who resided
with her mother, B. L. Hughes of
Brady and Neacie Hughes, who
also lived with her mother.

“I regret that we coudn’t take
the time to participate in all of
the observances scheduled in con-
nection with the collapse of Ger-
many, but regulations from high-
er headquarters directed the cele-
bration for the personnel of Curtis
Field be confined to the military
installation, so that our import-
ant training program can be re-
sumed with a minimum of inter-
ruption,” Major Stewart stated.
“Despite a reduction in the
number of aircrew personnel be-
ing trained, the Army Air Forces
j Command has definite
i personnel commitments tc meet,
and we can’t afford an interrup-
tion in our schedule.”
