Mrs. Hughson had been ill a long time of tuberculosis. She was about thirty-four years old, and was born and reared in Monroe. Later she went with her parents to Portland to live. They spent several of the later years in California, for the benefit of her step-mother, Mrs. John Hendricks's health. Mrs. Hendricks who was also afflicted with tuberculosis, died in California a year or so ago, and the family, including Mrs. Hughson, returned last summer to Portland. Mrs. Hughson's husband Frank Hughson, of Portland , a well known lawyer, died two years ago last January, since which time she has lived with her parents.
