Arizona Republican-Oct. 14, 1907

WARD HUGHES
Arizona Republican Newspaper
October 14, 1907

Ward Hughes died suddenly at his residence on West Adams 
Street Sunday afternoon.  Mr. Hughes was one of the best 
known men of this valley and leaves a host of friends.  
He was known as a man of the strictest personal honor, 
was successful in his line of work and was highly 
esteemed by all with whom he transacted business.

For nearly eight years and up to the time of his death 
he had charge of the office work of Dwight B. Heard and 
The Bartlett-Heard Land and Cattle Company who held him 
in the highest regard.  

Mr. Hughes was born in Bloomington, Illinois, was 
graduated from the University of Michigan and always 
retained a keen interest in his alma mater having been 
one of the most popular men in the university.  For 
several years he was manager of Michigan's football team.

After leaving college Mr. Hughes entered the law in 
Chicago, graduating from the Chicago Law School but 
finding legal work in Chicago too confining he came 
to Phoenix eight years ago.  When Mr. Hughes came to 
Phoenix he was not in robust health but he at least 
held his own and was at all times able to discharge 
his arduous duties.  A year ago last April he went 
to Los Angeles intending to reside but the climate 
there affected him and he returned last November. He 
was not well afterward though he was able generally 
to be about and was downtown the day before his death.
