The Cambria freeman. (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938: October 21, 1869
At the residence of  his sister, Mrs. Margaret Rodrigue, in New York City, on Monday
the 11th inst., Mr. Mich'l Hughes, aged upwards of 75 years. The deceased was an
elder brother of the late lamented Archbishop Hughes, and was the oldest member of
the family. He was formerly a resident of Chambersburg, Pa., but passed the last few
years of his life with his sister in New York. He spent a few days in the summer of
1868 in Ebensburg, and during his brief visit, he made the acquaintance and won the
esteem of many of our citizens. He was highly respected by all who knew him for the
patriarchal simplicity of his manners and the unobtrusive sanctity of his life, and
was gathered to his fathers without an enemy, a pure minded old man and a sincere
Christian. His remains were interred at Chambersburg on Thursday last. May he rest
in peace.
