Former Resident Passes Away in Union Dec. 22
Friends of Mrs. Mattie Ethel Hughey were shocked to hear of her death Monday morning at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Phillips, in Union. She had been ill the past five weeks and last week left La Grande for the parental home in Union. She died from cancer of the liver, the trouble dating back to over a year ago.
Mrs. Hughey was in charge of the telephone exchange here for over three years and made many friends during her stay. She left last fall to accept a like position at La Grande where she had formerly made her home for twenty years.
Besides the mother and father she leaves to mourn her loss two daughters, Mrs. Roy Stotts and Sylvia who resides with the grandparents, also two brothers, Willis and Roy Phillips, all of Union.
The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at the Phillips home in Union at 2:30.
