Marion Hughes was born Sept. 14, 1854 in Harrison County, Ind.
He moved to Pike county, Ind. with his parents at the age of five years.
He was converted to God and became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of Otwall Ind., at the age of twenty-two.
He was married to Mary Annetta Ragsdale at Otwell, Indiana March 3, 1881 and moved to Nebraska.
Born to this union were six sons, Jesse Otto, Ralston, Okla., Chas. Harrison, Baltimore, Maryland, Frederick who died in infancy, Sidney Harper, Phoenix, Arizona, William Henry, Eastland, Texas, Francis Harland, Yale, Okla., and one daughter, Elsie May Murray of Eastland, Texas.
He is survived by these five sons and daughter, his wife, Mrs. Mary Hughes, a sister Mrs. Mollie Foster and mother, Mrs. Delilah Hughes, the two latter residing at Mason City, and many other relatives.
He departed this life at his home at Miama, Okla., Nov. 11, 1921 at 10 p.m. He being one of the early settlers here, is remembered by many warm friends. The sunshine and humor of life appealed to him as his prolific writings testify.
Funeral services were held in the Litchfield Methodist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. E.C. Kemble who preached the funeral sermon and held brief services at the grave at the Litchfield cemetery. Mesdames Rydberg and Sanders and Messrs. R.B. Proctor, and Richmond sang, "Abide With Me," "Safe In The Arms of Jesus" and "Theres a Land That is Fairer Than Day."
The body arrived on the early morning train which was met by undertaker Potter, who took it to his home where the twenty-third psalm was read and prayer offered by the pastor before the services at the church.
The pall bearers were Joseph Wiseman, Frank Kuhn, George Haller, August Miller, Jacob Engleman and G.A. Engleman.
