Huguley
AMOS HUGULEY IS DEAD
ANOTHER ONE OF THE OLD PIONEERS OF COLLIN COUNTY.
SEVENTY-SEVEN YEARS OLD
FUNERAL TAKES PLACE WEDNESDAY MORNING – BURIAL ROWLETT CREEK.
McKinney Democrat, July 14, 1904.
The old settlers of Collin county are fast passing away, and it is with regrets that the Democrat chronicles the death of another one, that of Amos Huguley of Allen, which occurred about 5 o’clock Tuesday, after a lingering illness in which he suffered intensely.
Mr. Huguley came from Auburn, Alabama, about thirty years ago, and no man in his community or in Collin county was held in higher esteem than he by those who knew him. He had been a faithful member of the Baptist church for over forty years, and was always true to the principles of Christianity, and drew around him many friends by his exemplary walk and his constant desire to do unto others as he would have them to do unto him.
He was nearing seventy-seven years of age, and leaves besides a devoted wife, who is herself in very feeble health, seven children as follows: Mrs. Emma Love and Amos Huguley of Hunt county, and Mesdames Lula Melton and House, and J. M., Tom and Carey Huguley, who live in and near Allen.
He was the last of his family to die having no living brothers or sisters. He was buried at Rowlett cemetery yesterday morning at 10 o’clock.
The Democrat extends sympathy to the grief stricken wife and children of the deceased.
AMOS HUGULEY, EARLY SETTLER, PASSES AWAY
Newspaper, December 17, 1925.
Last Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock Amos Huguley was claimed by death, surrounded by his family, family physician, and pastor in his home in this city.
Brother Huguley was born near Opelika, Alabama, October 6, 1848, and came to Texas in his early childhood, traveling by land in a covered wagon, making the trip in six weeks. He settled on a farm two and one half miles south of Plano where he lived until his early manhood.
He was married to Miss Mary Bell Lively, May 2nd, 1872. They bought a farm at Corinth, northeast of Plano; the old Corinth Church built on the northeast corner of his farm. He resided there until 1888, then moved to Plano and went into the cotton gin business. He has owned several gins in Plano, and was the first man to operate an electric gin in the State of Texas.
His good wife survives him and was present at his death. To them were born ten children, seven are now living, as follows: Mrs. T. L. Hood of Monroe, La.; Mr. E. A. Huguley, Hatch, New Mexico; Mrs. W. A. Stanley, Mrs. R. W. Oakes, Mrs. C. C. Allen, Mr. L. A. Huguley, and Mrs. A. A. Goodson of Plano. One brother and sister survive him, Mr. J. C. Huguley, San Diego, California, and Miss Eugenia Huguley of Plano.
He professed faith in Christ and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church in early manhood, and was a member of the First Presbyterian church in Plano at the time of his death. He lived a quiet Christian life and was faithful and true to his church and his religious convictions. He loved his home, his family, his friends, his Church and his God, and so expressed himself freely before he passed away. He was a good man, extensively known and loved. Successful in business, a good neighbor, a kind husband and a loving father, and a true friend. Truly a good man has gone and we shall miss him.
His Pastor and Friend,
W. T. Thurman
Funeral services over the remains of the deceased were held in the Presbyterian church at 10 o’clock Saturday morning, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Mr. Thurman, assisted by Rev. T. H. Morris. Business houses of the city closed during the hour of the funeral. The church was filled to overflowing by sorrowing friends, and acquaintances. The numerous beautiful floral offerings evidenced the esteem and respect in which Mr. Hughley was held by his multitude of friends.
Interment was made in the Big Springs Cemetery, a few miles south....[rest missing.]
