From the LeMars Sentinel, Tuesday, October 13, 1925, Page 1, Column 7:

School Boy Taken

Raymond Hughes, 14 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Hughes, 126 Fifth Avenue, SE., died Saturday following a brief illness of pneumonia. The lad was only sick a week and his death is a great shock to his parents. He was their only son and death had already bereft them of two little girls.

Raymond Hughes was born December 10, 1910, and was 14 years and ten months old. He was attending school and was a scholar in the seventh grade. He was a bright and cheery lad and well liked among a large number of playmates.

The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at the First Methodist church, Rev. C. H. Seward conducting the services. The pallbearers were schoolmates of the dead lad and were Roger Lobdell, Drexel Edwards, Lester Witt, Howard Pattison, Eldred Morrisey and Willard Seward.
