Latrobe Bulletin (Latrobe, Pennsylvania)  4 Mar 1919
At the Soldier's Home in Dayton, Ohio, yesterday, Alexander White Hughes died of
heart trouble. He had been in the home about three years. Prior to his going to the
home he was a resident of Bradenville for many years. His father, Isaac Hughes, was
one of the pioneer residents of Saltsburg, when that section was first opened.
Alexander Hughes was born and raised in that section. He came to Bradenville about
25 years ago. About seven years ago, Mr. Hughes' wife died, and later, on account of
the infirmities of age, he entered the Soldier's Home. He had fought valiantly
through the Civil War in defense of the Union and held membership in the Latrobe
Post of the G. A. R. Mr. Hughes would have been 77 years of age in June. He is
survived by the following children: William I., of New Alexandria; Otis N., of
Bradenville; Lewis C., of South Fork; Mrs. W. M. Hart and Mrs. S. C. Morrow of
Wayne; Mrs. H. W. Phillippi and Mrs. James H. Caldwell, of Derry. There are a number
of grandchildren and great grandchildren surviving. Two sisters, Mrs. R. J. Hoffman
and Mrs. Carrie McGeary of New Alexandria, also survive. The body will be taken to
the home of Mrs. Caldwell, of Derry. The remains are expected to arrive tomorrow.
Funeral arrangements will be made later.
