HUGHES CALLED BY DEATH Pioneer Palouse Matron Had Lived in Same Home 48 Years. TAUGHT FIRST SCHOOL Husband Was Founder of Second Paper in Town Funeral Today PALOUSE, Wash., April 20, -- Mrs. Sarah A. Hughes, age 81,. one of the earliest pioneers of the Palouse district, died yesterday at her home on the Palouse river, a mile below town, where she had lived 48 years. She had been in good health until the last few weeks. Mrs. Hughes was the widow of the late I. I. (Shang) Hughes, one of Palouse's early day newspaper men, who founded the Palouse News in the early '80's shortly after the late E. H. Orcutt founded the Boomerang, the town's first paper. in 1882. The Hughes family crossed the plains from Kansas by team in 1873 and located on the land on the Palouse river which is still owned by the family. At that time there were but few settlers in the country and there wrer no town where Palouse now stands. Mrs. Hughes taught the first school In the district in 1874, the few children of the neighborhood gathering at her log cabin, which still stands, to receive the first rudiments of an education. The first school building, a one-room log structure. was not built until two years later. She therefore witnessed the development of the Palouse country from a rolling prairie of bunch grass to a district of modern towns, fine farms and farm homes. So far as is known there is no one living in this district who preceded her and her family to the Palouse. Mrs. Hughes was the mother of nine children, eight of whom survive. Two daughters, Mrs. William Chambers and Mrs. Ira Burbank, live here and were with her when death came. One son is engaged in the printing business in California and is now on his road to Palouse by automobile to visit his mother, the news of her death not having reached him. She had been for many years a faithful member of the Christian church and the funeral will be held tomorrow from the church, the Rev. Maynard R. Thompson officiating.
