Hello,
I am looking for information on my Grandfather.
His name is Chester Hughes and he was born abt 1920 and died in 1992 in NY state. He is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Houlton. I am looking for any information about any relatives he may have there. There must be a reason that he is buried there. His US Army induction paperwork says he was born in Maine. That is all the information I have. Anything you can do to provide information is greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Donald Hughes
Hi Donald,
Chester John Hughes was born in Houlton, Maine on 30 May 1920. His parents are Murray Hughes and Emily Elizabeth Violette who married in 1907 in Caribou, Maine but lived in the Houlton area. Murray’s sister Jessie is the mother-in-law of my 1st cousin twice removed.
Murray’s parents are John Kincaid Hughes and Margaret Jessie Adams.
Chester married Phyllis Ione Wilson (b. 4 Aug 1920, d. 5 Dec 1996) on 21 Mar 1940 in Vermont. It appears that they divorced as Phyllis was married again before her death.
You can contact me directly at <dsavage7@maine.rr.com> if you need further information
Hope this helps.
