THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING DAY
MR. AND MRS. H. R. HUGHES CELEBRATE HAPPY EVENT
ARE HOLDING A FAMILY GATHERING
They Were Married Fifty Year Ago In Galena, Illinois, and
Came to Plymouth County Twenty-Four Years Ago
Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Hughes, living on Franklin street in this city,
are celebrating their golden wedding day today surrounded by their sons,
daughters, grandchildren and a few time tried and congenial friends.
The happy event will be signalized by a family dinner party this
afternoon and a social gathering at which these respected and honored
old people will receive the congratulations of a host of friends in the
community in which they have resided for nearly a quarter of a century.
It is fifty years ago since Richard (actually Hugh Richard) Hughes,
a fine handsome, stalwart youth led pretty and smiling Ellen Caldwell to
the altar where they joined their hearts and hands and set forth
together through the vale of life's pilgrimage. Time has silvered their
hair and care brought furrows to their faces, but their love and faith
is constant as ever, and what joys they have experienced in their life,
in their honest toil. Simple pleasures and upbringing of a large family
of children, now grown to good men and women, has been ample
compensation for the dark days when the clouds hung loweringly and the
silver lining was hard to discern.
For three long years the young wife was separated from the husband,
who was doing yeoman service in some of the bloodiest battles fought in
the Civil war. Only those who have loved and lost can even guess at the
tugging of the heart string when father, brother and sons are at the
front.
Mr. Hughes has reached the good old age of three score and ten. He
was born in Wales on February 17, 1834, and his wife is five years
younger, have been born in Jo Davies (sic--Daviess) county, Illinois, on
April 2, 1839. They were married at Galena, Ill., September 10, 1857.
Ten children have been born to them eight of whom are living. George
Hughes and Mrs. Wm. Cassler (sic--Casler), of Seney, Frank, of
Westfield, Edward and Will, of Akron, Mrs. Chris Hendricksen
(sic--Henricksen), Cora and Ella of LeMars. There are also nine
grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes have lived in Plymouth county for
the past twenty-four years, where they farmed for a number of years and
then came to town. Mr. Hughes was janitor at the court house for seven
years, where he made many acquaintances and won a large number of
friends. He is at present janitor of the Franklin school house.
During the war he was a member of Company I, Ninety-sixth Illinois
infantry and served under General Thomas, and General Rosecranz and was
in the army of the Cumberland and under Grant and Sherman. He fought at
Stone River, Chickamanga, Mission Ridge, Rockface Ridge and in a number
of other battles and skirmishes and was lucky enough never to get a
scratch.
Mrs. Hughes had three cousins in the confederate army in a Kentucky
regiment.
FORM LE MARS DISTRICT
Dentists Organize Society in Territory of Nine Counties
At the meeting of Northern Iowa dentists in Sioux City last week the
question was raised of disbanding the Northern Iowa Dental Society. The
growth of the State society and the consolidating of the various
districts has made it possible to include all members in Iowa, and to
this end urge those in favor of disbanding. The Northern association
has served its usefulness. Staunch partisans of the society have ever
fought for its maintenance and the society was given at least another
year of life.
The Sioux City and LeMars districts were organized as part of the State
society. The officers of the LeMars district are president, Dr. G.W.
Cunningham, of LeMars; secretary, Dr. J. C. Grout, of Rock Rapids;
treasurer, Dr. W. H. Dwight, of LeMars. The new organization will meet
in LeMars some time in November.
The district comprises the nine counties in the northwest corner of the
sate: Lyon, Osceola, Dickinson, Sioux, O'Brien, Clay, Plymouth and
Cherokee.
HISEY IN TOWN
Andrew Townsend Hisey, of Tama, self styled candidate for president,
spent a couple of days in LeMars last week. He did a stunt at slinging
hides for a business firm one day and on Friday and Saturday attracted
the attention of people on the streets by frequent outbursts of oratory.
A number of little and big boys amused themselves baiting Hisey, but he
took it pretty good naturedly and raked in a few dimes and nickels while
on the streets. Hisey evidently thinks this part of the country is
alright as he has been around in Plymouth county once or twice in all
the towns.
Hisey is not such a fool as some people seem to think, although he acts
as if there were big dents in his skypiece.
HAIL IN THE WEST PART OF COUNTY
A heavy hailstorm fell in the west part of the county, Friday night,
portions of Portland, Westfield and Preston townships being in the path
of the storm and some damage was done to the growing corn. A number of
farmers report loss from the hail. Among these are T.G. Anderson, Gable
Bros., M. Gable, Fred Gronemeyer, Harms Jannsen and August Jurgensen.
