Huggans shipped to this city for Burial - Charles Washington Huggans, second child of David and Elizabeth Huggans, was born in West Virginia, June 26, 1843, and departed this life at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Nettie Hamlet, of Portland, Oregon, Nov. 3, 1927, at 6 a.m. At the time of his death being 84 years, 5 months and 4 days old. In 1853, he emigrated from his native state and came with his parents to Van Buren County, Iowa, and located near Pierceville, and thence to Missouri, locating in Scotland County, on a farm northwest of Memphis. (Missouri) He was married to Elizabeth M. Taylor, on Nov. 19, 1865, who preceded him in death July 16, 1901. To this union were born eight children all of whom survive except one (Nellie Huggans) who died in infancy. He was converted to the Christian faith in 1872, and united with the Trinity Methodist Church where he remained a faithful devoted member until the end. Since the death of his wife he has made his home with his son, Ira, of Queen City. However, it was always a great pleasure to him to make frequent visits to all of the children whom he dearly loved, and it was while visiting his daughter in Oregon that he contracted a severe cold that later developed into pneumonia. All that loving hands could do was done but to no avail. Although death came suddenly it did not send him unprepared for his life was one long journey upward without a halt or a backward step. His chief outstanding quality was his honesty, and determination to do the right thing in his dealings with his fellow man. He was charitable beyond measure that in his heart there abounded fraternity, and that he loved his fellow men and was willing to sacrifice his personal comfort and welfare that others might be more happy. He was a kind and considerate father and husband, devoted to his family, and solicitious of their comfort and welfare. He leaves to mourn his departure the following children: Mrs. Mary Sayer of Memphis, MO; Frank L. Huggans, Pryor, Oklahoma; Mrs. Nettie Hamlet of Portland, Oregon; Mrs. Myrtle Hogan, Hood River, Oregon; Ira C. Huggans, Queen City, MO; all of whom were present at the last sad rites, besides sixteen grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. Mell Barnett, Mrs. Jane Nichols, both of Cantril, Iowa, and one brother, Alonzo Huggans of Portland, Oregon, with many other relatives and a host of friends. Accompanied by the two daughters from Portland, Oregon, and was taken to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Elmer Foster. The funeral service was conducted the following day at the Methodist Church in Memphis at 11 a.m. Rev. A. S. Olsen, Pastor of the Methodist Church officiating. Interment was in the Cantril Cemetery where he was tenderly laid to rest beside his companion. The floral offerings were large and beautiful, and the large concourse of friends from both far and near was a marked esteem in which the deceased was held. The Pall bearers were: Oliver Kerr, Alex Welch, A. Ammerman, Chaley McDaniel, Steve Adams and Bert Drummond.
