Simon Hughes, one of the old residents of Howard county, passed away July 23, 1913, at his home in Lancaster, Kansas, to which place he removed from Chickasaw county in 1912. Mr. Hughes served from August 1861 to the close of the war, enlisting from New Oregon in Co. “I”, 9th Regt. Vol. The remains were brought back for interment in the Nashua cemetery.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he was born Feb. 22, 1840 but shows he died Jan. 23, 1913. He is buried in Greenwood Cemetery.
