The Culver-Palms Citizen, 17 Apr. 1931
Impressive Rites Held by De Molay for Young Hughes

Impressive funeral rites were held Monday morning at ten o’clock at the Culver
City funeral parlors on Culver boulevard for Stanley Hughes, 24, of 3383 Durango
avenue, who was drowned in the Venice surf Wednesday morning, April 8, shortly
before 10 o’clock. The services were in charge of De Molay officers, the

ritual was read with the following officers in charge: Clarence Griffith, master
councelor; Don Williams, senior councellor; Sam Granfield, junior councellor; M.
Hammer, senior deacon; George Wright, chaplain; Lewis Hanlon, marshal.

Reverend J. E. Beery, former pastor of the Culver-Palms Methodist church,
conducted the devotionals and the Methodist choir was in charge of the music.
Interment was in Forest Lawn cemetery. The funeral cortege, which was one of the
longest ever witnessed here, was headed by Lieut. Cecil Truschel and Motorcycle
Officer Denver Postal, of the Culver City police department, the police body
accompanying the procession to the city limits.

Young Hughes was one of the most popular boys in the vicinity and among the
several hundred attending his funeral were a legion of his young friends in
addition to many Masons and affiliated bodies, of Culver City and Palms. He is
survived by his mother. Mrs. M. F. Hughes, a brother, William Hughes and a
niece, Mrs. Mabel Hughes Cogan, all of Durango street.

Hughes was in bathing with Frank Miranda, of 451 Ince boulevard, when he
suddenly disappeared beneath the breakers after shouting for help. Miranda, who
is not an expert swimmer, rushed for aid but life guards failed to find his body
which was later washed ashore near Sunset pier.

Hughes had resided here for more than twelve years.
