George Henry Hughes

George Hughes.bmp

George Henry Hughes was the third son of James Martin Hughes and Demaris (Mae) Shirley Hughes.

My Uncle George was one of the kindest men I have ever known. He worked for Meadow Gold Dairy and retired with them. He was always soft spoken and lived by the Golden Rule. He was married to Mary Widner Hughes. George and Mary are the parents of Sue Hughes Floyd.

Samuel Tennis Hughes

This is my dad's oldest brother, Uncle Sam. His full name - Samuel Tennis Hughes. He was also the first Uncle on Dad's side to pass away. He was a fun loving person and I loved seeing him when he came by our home. I can remember as we were growing up, he would always tease and make me laugh.
