"At 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon occurred the death of Elizabeth Ann, the young wife of Hugh E. Hughes, and daughter of Mrs. Susannah Richards, at her home at Warrior Run, after an illness of five weeks of typhoid fever. She was 28 years, 8 months of age, and was born in Gogenan, South Wales, and came to this country with her parents about eleven years ago, and has since resided here. About eight years ago she was married to Hugh Hughes, and two children were born to them. She was devoted to her husband and children and her married life was full of happiness. Throughout her illness she was patient and uncomplaining. She was an earnest Christian and a faithful member of the First Baptist Church. She is survived by her husband, two children, Laura, aged 7, and Myfanwy, aged 4; her mother, Mrs. Susannah Richards; two brothers, William J. and John E. Richards, and one sister, Miss Susie Richards, all residents of Warrior Run. The funeral will take place tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon. Services at the house. Interment will be in Hollenback Cemetery." Nancy Cook Pasadena, MD, USA
