Funeral services will be held at the Fundamental Baptist church in Eldorado at 3:00 tomorrow, Firday afternoon, and interment will be in the Eldorado cemetery.

Fern Hughes was born November 10, 1910, in Rocky Ford, Okla., and moved with the family to Texas in her early girlhood. She and her first husband, Ernest Aldridge, lived for years at Grape Creek where the family resided on a farm, and their sons attended the schools of that community.

Two years after the death of her husband in 1933, she and the boys moved to Eldorado to make their home. On Oct. 7, 1939, she was married in Eldorado to Jerome Mitchell, who survives.

Surviving also are her sons by her previous marriage, Rubel Aldridge of Austin and Glendon Aldridge of Abilene, and three other children, Voy J., Alton Roy, and Maudie, all students in the Eldorado school system; a brother, Alfred Hughes, Abilene; a sister Mrs. Naomi Alcorn of Plainview; and five half-brothers and sisters all of whom live in California, Mrs. Annie Shamblin, Mrs. Ollie Daugherty, Jack Erwin, Ernest Aldridge, and Jimmie Aldridge.

For years she was a member of the Fundamental Baptist church, joining the church in her early girlhood, and was a faithful worker in the church, up to the time of her serious illness. She taught intermediate girls in the Sunday School and was interested and active in all phases of church work.

She had been in failing health since her first major surgery abut eight months ago.
