Emmetsburg newspaper, 1910 MRS. BERT HUGHES DEAD.
She Passed Away Early Sunday Morning.
Early sunday morning our citizens learned with genuine regret of the death of Mrs. Bert Hughes, who passed away shortly after midnight. She had a couple of days previously given birth to her first child and was in a very serious condition. Very little could be done for her, as she was also afflicted with a large abdominal tumor. The funeral was held Tuesday at 10 o'clock. A solemn requiem mass was offered up at St. Thomas church by the pastor, Rev. M. McNerney, assisted by Fathers Carroll, of Ayrshire; Kelley, of Graettinger, and Murphy, of Emmetsburg. The following named parties were pall-bearers.
Active - Messrs. Ray Neary, Ray McNally, Robert Laughlin, T.J.Kirby, T.F.Rutledge and J.A.Duffy.
Honorary - Mesdames J.A.Duffy, F. Nedderman, D. Kelly, and E.M. Carney, and Misses Maggie Fries, and Bertha Peterson.
The ushers were J.W. Neary, Joe Laughlin and Thomas Nolan.
The burial was in St. John's cemetery. There was an exceptionally large procession. The members of the Friday Club attended in a body.
Miss Carrie Brennan was born in this community, September 4, 1880. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Brennan. She attended the local schools and later took a course in the Iowa State Normal. She taught for several years in this county. For some time she held a position in the West Bend schools. She was bright, energetic and tactful and she won well deserved recognition in her chosen calling. September 25, 1907, she was married to A.R. Hughes. They had a neat, happy home and Mr. Hughes had a business that was such as to give him marked prestige in our community and to insure his prosperity at an early age in life. Providence bestowed many temporal as well as spiritual blessings upon them and their future seemed brighter and more hopeful than it does to most people. But there is no real paradise on earth. There is grief as well as joy and gladness for each of us. Death comes to separate them when their happiness seemed all that could be reasonably desired.
Mrs. Hughes was a Christian lady in all that the words imply. No woman in our community was actuated by higher motives in all that she said and did.She was prudent and practical and she was tactful. She had at all times a serious regard for the right and feelings of others. She was humble but she had, nevertheless, a worthy ambition to do all that self-reliance, becoming dignity and true womanliness required of her. She did not neglect any responsibilities that her position in life demanded of her. Thoughts of the eternal always appealed to her and thus guided her in her resolutions and in her devotion to the duties of childhood teacher, home and society. Her entire life was one of lofty aspirations, firm confidence in the efficacy of divinely instituted principles, and unafftected Christian fervor. Her death is mourned by her devoted husband, her aged mother, several brothers and sisters and numerous other relatives. All have the sympathy of our many citizens in this great sorrow.
