Hughes, Mary A.E. Hughes
Death Of Mrs. Hughes

On last Friday morning, May 16,
Mrs. Mary A.E. Hughes, ( Aunt Mary ), the best known citizen of Stafford, Ohio,
and for that matter in Southeastern Ohio, died at her home in that village
where she had lived for over sixty years. Death was due to infirmities of
advanced age. Frail in body for years, but indomitable in spirit, she lived
alone, self-dependent, optimistic and with a philosophy of life that might well
have been the envy of many who possibly pitied her on account of apparent
loneliness and isolation. And yet she was not alone for she had her books,
papers, friends and memories. Perhaps no individual in the county had more
contacts with friends local and distant and they played a great part in her
life with occasional visits, cards, letters and gifts.
As a child and young woman, she
had a newspaper experience in the office of a paper in Woodsfield in which her
father Editor Shipley was interested and for half a century possibly she was
the Stafford correspondent for the County papers and the reputation of Stafford
for rugged honesty, hospitality, interest in education and the good name of her
people generally is due to largely to the kindly messages her facile pen sent
forth year after year.
Though limited in education in
the ordinary sense of the word, she wrote eloquently of the virtues and lives
of those whom she knew intimately and her letters were read for their merit
alone, by many who knew little or nothing of
