While in young age or bloom of youth, God saw fit to call her from a world of pain, sickness and death to the "Haven of Rest". Her suffering was intense for about two days and her friends and loved ones assisted the medical aid to relieve her pain, yet not so; her labors on earth were o'er, and she bade "old earth" adieu forever and now her body rests sweetly in the Liberty Hill cemetery, while her spirit basks in the sunshine of Heaven. Mrs. Hughes was a teacher for several years and taught her home school last year; therefore she had endeared herself to all the children of that place. She leaves a husband to walk through life alone, and aged father, two brothers and five sisters to feel so lonely in their homes without her, and a host of friends who loved her dearly. Well say warmly sure when her gentle spirit fled, To realms beyond this azure dome. With outstretched wings God's angel said, Welcome to heaven, home sweet home.
