Hi Alice, Maybe you can find something on my Grandmother Hughes.
She was Estella Hughes.(maiden name was "Taylor"). She was born in Missouri & was married to Adolph Hughes. They lived in Trinidad,Colo so my research says for 33 years. My Grandfather was also born in Missouri & he retired from the A,T.S & F Railroad. So far I can't find a thing on my Grandmother.
You have helped so many people with their search I thought maybe you might be able to find some information on her.
Thanking you. Have a Very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.

Buried:March 24,1958--Masonic Cemetary-Trinidad,Colo
Marriage Date: Sept.7,1904--Sedalia,Missouri

I am planning on sennding for her death cerificate but that will only really give me her parents name,that I know. She lived in Trinidad for 33 years & was active with the Republican Party. Her name then was Estelle Hughes.

Hi Charlene it's me again, Pat, here is something else I found. Adolph Hughes registered for World War 1 out of Raton NM. It shows him as the husband of Estelle. His date of birth 3/15/1876. Raton is probably where Mary his daughter was born. They lived at 808 S. 2nd ST. Raton. His occupation was clerk and cashier. He was tall, slender had brown eyes and dark hair.

Thanks to both of you for helping me with my research. I was aware that my Grandfather was in the Spanish American War but not World War 1. He did retire as cashier of the Santa Fe R.R in Trinidad,Colo.
He was tall & slender. Can't remember the color of his eyes. If you happen to find any pictures of either him or my Grandmother maybe you could scan them & send them to my email address if it isn't any trouble. My email is:shreves1407@yahoo.com
Would either one of you know if there was an any thing written in the paper on Estelle "Taylor" Hughes. That article would be somewhere in the date of March 24,1958.
I have the one on my Grandfather.

Charlene, I browsed the Aultman collection that is online and could not find a picture of your grandparents. I know that Alice has been busy the last few weeks but I will email her and ask her to read your posts.

Have a "Merry" and "Blessed" Christmas .........

Charlene-I would be happy to look for any information for you. I will look in the Aultman Photo Collection and I will look in the newspaper, using the date you have mentioned. This will probably have to be done after the holidays. I also wish you a Merry Christmas and a Very Prosperous New Year !

Hi Dodie,
You have found a lot of information on my Grandmother. You are on the right trail. Q.P. Taylor I do remember was her father. The last I heard he was in Oklahoma as he attended my brother's funeral. I saw his name in the Cushing,Okla paper where he attended the funeral. My brother was only 6 weeks old when he passed away.
Hi Alice,
I know you are busy so anytime you can see what you can find for me will be greatly appreciated.
Wishing you both a Very Happy Holiday.

Found another file ........
File # 2 - LDS Family Group Record:
Qinton P. Taylor - Married 15 SEP 1880; Pettis, Missouri; death 30 OCT 1939
Father: Benjamin B. Taylor
Mother: Mary Ann Duncan
Wife: Lucy Adelia Moffett - death 12 JUN 1926

More on Mary Ann Duncan: extracted from family tree
Mary Ann "Polly" Duncan - born 13 MAR 1816; Kentucky; died 11 AUG 1903; Pettus County, Missouri.
Father: Roger Duncan born 1748
Mother: Sallie Redmond born 1766
Married 25 JUL 1835; Bourbon County, Kentucky to Benjamin B. Taylor.

Benjamin B. Taylor born 30 MAY 1812 in Kentucky; died 17 AUG 1887; Pettus County, Missouri.
Father: Matthew Taylor born 22 JUN 1788; died 12 APR 1849.
Mother: Mary Baker

Char, I am questioning the birth dates on Roger Duncan and Sallie Redmond. Sallie could also be Sarah Redmon.
Will check them out when I get back from shopping and will send the tree on this one. LDS does have a few files on them with different dates.

Chronicle News-March 20, 1958
Funeral arrangements for Mrs. A.T.Hughes, late of this city, have been postponed, pending the arrival of a grandson, Wayne Shreves, from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

I also have a list of all the Hughes that are listed in the Aultman Photo Collection and as Dodie has stated there is no Estella Hughes, but there is a E. Hughes, date of photo 1915. Also if you find out that you are related to a JOHN T. HUGHES of Trinidad, I have found a very lengthy article and wedding announcement. If you send me your address I will be glad to mail all the information I have obtained for you. Hopefully, this information is about your grandmother.
