Delphos Republican
March 6, 1931
Mae Ella Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.C. Brown of Salina, was born at Hunter, Kansas, January 4, 1888, and passed away at her home in Delphos, Kansas, March 2, 1931 at the age of 43 years, 1 month and 28 days.
At the age of four years, she moved with her parents to Niles, Kansas, where she grew to womanhood. When a young girl, she united with the United Brethren Church at Niles, where she still retains her membership.
On February 12, 1907, Mae Ella was married in Solomon to W.F. Hughes, who was the station agent at Niles. They continued their residence in Niles for sixteen years after their marriage, and their children were born there. Mr. Hughes was then transferred to Assaria, where they lived nearly eight years. They came to Delphos six weeks ago.
Mrs. Hughes was the mother of five children. One son passed away in infancy and is buried at Niles.
Besides her husband and parents, Mrs. Hughes leaves to mourn her loss, a daughter, Inez of Kansas City; three sons, Max, Paul and Wayne of the home; four sisters, Mrs. Grace Banker and Mrs. Carrie Smith of Salina, Mrs. Helen McBride of Cozac, Nebraska; Mrs. Goldie Bailey of Wichita; and two brothers, Vernon Brown of Salina and James O. Brown of Wilson, Arkansas; and aged grandmother, Mrs. Mary B. Walizer of Lincoln, Kansas; and many other relatives and a host of friends.
Mrs. Hughs was affiliated fraternally with the Royal Neighbor lodge at Assaria, Kansas.
Six weeks ago, Mrs. Hughes came into our midst to make her home. Two of the children, Paul and Wayne, entered the school, and Mr. Hughes entered the business circle by becoming the station agent, while the oldest son, Max, and Mrs. Hughes were the homemakers. Although there has been sickness in the home, Mrs. Hughes had met and become acquainted with a number of our people. She was one of the most charming and pleasant women whom it has been our pleasure to meet. She was friendly and hospitable to a marked degree, and seemed more like an old acquaintance than a stranger. She was a musician, and in that line, has bee the guiding star of her son, Max, who is a very talented pianist.
It was a very great shock to those of our community who had learned to love her and value her friendship, to hear of her sudden and untimely death.
The sympathy of all our people goes out to the family, who have been bereft of a loving wife and mother. In this sad hour, when they are bowed down by grief, we can only commend them to Him, whose eye is on the sparrow.
Dearest Mother, thou hast left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel.
It is God who hath bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet them,
When the day of life has fled,
And in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
Funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon with a short service at the home in Delphos, and the main service at the United Brethren Church in Niles, where burial was also made. Rev. Paul J. Vielguth was in charge of the services.
