     H. H. HUGHES, M. D.  The oldest physician in Gresham, Oregon, in point of 
years of service is Dr. H. H. Hughes, who has proven an able and reliable 
practitioner and commands a large practice throughout this section of 
Multnomah county. The Doctor was born at Macon, Missouri, in 1882, and is a 
son of Mrs. Alida (Pixley) Hughes, who now lives in Gresham. The family moved 
to Butte, Montana, in 1887 and in the public schools of that city he began his 
education, continuing his studies in the schools of Missoula, where the family 
located in 1895. Later he entered the University of Montana and was graduated 
in 1905, after which he was employed at farm work for a short time. He then 
matriculated in Rush Medical College, Chicago, Illinois, from which he was 
graduated with the degree of Doctor a Medicine in 1911. He served as interne 
in the Good Samaritan hospital, at Portland, Oregon, and in 1912 opened an 
office in Gresham, where he has practiced to the present time.

     In 1927 Dr. Hughes was united in marriage to Miss Katherine Howey, who 
was born in North Dakota, and is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Howey, who 
now reside in Gresham. The Doctor is a member of the American Legion, the 
Portland City and County Medical Society and the Oregon State Medical Society, 
and is now serving as city health officer of Gresham. The Doctor is a veteran 
of the World war, having served as a first lieutenant in the Medical Corps. He 
was in France about six months, during which period he had charge of an 
evacuation ambulance company, which saw much active service, and he also had 
some hospital service. He is a man of earnest purpose, high ideals and close 
devotion to his profession, and during the years of his residence in Gresham 
has earned the uniform confidence and respect of the people, while, socially, 
he has made many warm and loyal friends.
