He was a brother of Jas. Hughes of this city. The New Market Herald gives the following account: "Jesse Hughes was born in Johnson county, near Indianapolis, Ind., in 1842, being at the time of his death 72 years old. Mr. Hughes moved with his parents to Keokuk county, Iowa, in 1846, having spent nearly his entire life in this state. He was united in marriage to Miss Nancy H. Birch in 1864, and to this union eleven children were born, eight of whom grew to manhood and womanhood. Six children and his wife preceded him to the better world, Mrs. Nancy H. Hughes having departed this life Sept. 25, 1886. Mr. Hughes was among the early settlers in this part of Iowa and saw this country develop from a raw prairie to the finest improved land in the Union. He settled in Page county in 1865, and located on what is known as the old Jerry Teeters farm. He lived there only one year and then, in 1866, moved to his present homestead where he resided until his death. He thought several times of leaving the farm and moving to town, but the old homestead, where he had reared his family and accumulated his wealth, was too dear to him and he could not leave it. He enjoyed a wide acquaintance throughout both Taylor and Page counties and had the friendship of all who knew him. Deceased was taken sick about two months ago, but rallied and was considerably better. Sunday evening about dusk he went to the coal shed to get a bucket of coal and his wife was cleaning snow off the walks near by. He had not been gone five minutes when his wife called to him as she kept constant watch over him, knowing his week condition. He did not answer and she went immediately to the coal shed and found him dead. His heart had failed and death came suddenly. It is atmost too sad to chronicle and no one knows the grief of his wife and children. Funeral services were held at the home Friday, Dec. 25, at 1 o'clock, conducted by Rev. D. I. Hower of the M. E. church. Interment at Memory cemetery." PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 31, 1914 Mr. Jesse Hughes Dies Suddenly. Mr. Hughes who lives near Old Memory died suddenly last Sunday evening.
