FUNERAL OF TEXAS BOY
< WAS IMPRESSIVE AFFAIR
Tho following account of the funeral
of Lieut. .Hayes Hughes of Sherman,
Texas, son bf Mr. and Mrs. J.
A. Hughes, well known In Lexington
county, will be of interest to
many people hereabout^, as he was a
descendant of Lexington folks. The
family connection in this county is
large. The account, which is re
produced from a Sherman, Texas,
^ paper, is as follows:
The ffineral of Lieutenant James
Hayes Hughes, son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. A. Hughes of this city, who died
in France Juno 6, 1918, as the result
of an attack of poison gas he received
in battle, and who was laid to rest
with fvtll military honors by tho
Charles R. Simmons l?ost of tho Am
cricah Legion of this city in West I
Hill cemetery Sunday afternoon, was'
without doubt the most largely attended
funeral- ever- held in Grayson
county, and perhaps North Texas.
The dttendance was variously sotimated
at from 5,000 to 7,000 persons.
People attended from ^very
town in Grayson county ,nnd from
many points in North Texas and\
Southern' Oklahoma. The funeral
' eortege was estimated at over three
miles in length. When the hearse '
reached West Hill cemetery, automobiles
were still entering thp procession
at the Central Christian church, 1
two miles away. Hundreds of per- .
sons did not join tho procession, but >
{ m toqk other routes to the. cemctefy, in
hope of-jcvlUiesaing the services o t the
- grttve. Over 5,000 persons were in .
-the> cemetery, and automobiles were ]
narked in every direction for several
blocks each way. s
The bbc^y of Lieutenant Hughes, ,
which arrived in Sherman Sunday |
night, March 27, and which laid in
v state at the Scott Undertaking Co., ]
until last Saturday, when it was taken \
to the family home, 1220 South j
Crockett street, was first taken Sunday
afternoon by a military escort of ^
the American Legion to the Central ' (
Christian church, of which Lieuten- j
ant Hughes was . a member, where j
services were conducted at 3 o'clock ,,
. by Rev. LeRoy Anderson of Honey
drove and Dr. T .A. Wharton, of
this city, both of whom eulogized f
Lieutenant Hughes as a patriot who (
had made the supreme sacrifice for ^
his country. They also paid great trl- ,f
bates to the American Legion, which t
they declared to be the greatest or- f

Post and composed of the full
strength of Charles R. Simmons Post
and representatives from "American
Legion posts at Denisonj Whltewright
and Gunter. A civilian procession
of hundreds of automobiles
followed the military cortege.
Services at the grave were conducted
by Rev. Manton, who told how
lieutenant Hayes Hugnes natl lost m.s
life giving aid to a comrade, that in
doing so it was necessary to remove
his mask, and that while his comrade
lived, Lieutenant Hughes died. J
"It can be said of .Lieutenant
Hughes," declared Mr. Manton, "not j
only that ho gave his life for his]
country, but also for his friend. If I
were going to write an epitaph on
the stone which will mark his grave,
it would be that verse from the
Scriptures, 'Greater love hath no man
than this, that he lay down his life
for liiH friend.' Lieutenant Hughes'
patriotism and love of country are
best typified.by the flag which waves
Above his grave today, for they are
is genuine as the scprlet,- as true as
the blue and as pure as the white In
Old CJolry."
Mr. Manton's tribute to Lieutenant
Hughes was both simple and beautlrul.
Many men and women wept aloud
is he eulogized the dead soldier.
The grave was lined with a silken
American flag. The casket was iowsred
to its last resting place by the
rrnll bearers, John T. Wakefield, Dr.
