Latrobe Bulletin (Latrobe, Pennsylvania) · 31 Oct 1912, Thu  
The terrible shock sustained by Walter P. Hughes, the local 
brakeman who had both limbs crushed near Summerhill, 
yesterday morning, caused his death in about five hours 
after he was injured, he having passed into the great beyond 
at 12:55 yesterday afternoon... His wife was rushed to his 
bedside on the first train and was able to talk to him, but 
his children, who started on the noon train, failed to see 
their father in life. The body was brought to town last 
evening and removed to the home on Second street. It was 
only last Sunday that Mr. Hughes celebrated his 37th 
birthday. He is survived by his widow and three children: 
Florence, Roy and Ruth. His aged father, Alex Hughes, of 
Bradenville, survives, as do the following brothers and 
sisters: Lewis C. Hughes of Derry; Ira Hughes of New 
Alexandria; Otis Hughes of Atlantic No,2; Mrs. William Hart, 
of New Alexandria; Mrs. Mary W. Philippi of Portsmouth, 
Ohio; Mrs. Frank Morrow of Webster, Pa.; Mrs. James H. 
Caldwell of Bradenville; and Miss V. Earle Hughes of 
Bradenville. For close on to four years, Mr. Hughes had been 
employed as a brakeman at this point... He was a member of 
the B of R T and L O O M. He was an attendant at the 
Methodist Episcopal Church. Rev, M. A. Rigg of that church 
will have charge of the funeral services, which will be held 
in the church Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment 
will follow in Cole's Cemetery.
