TAYLOR HUGHES

     the subject of this sketch is a native of Iowa. He removed with his parents
to Oregon in 1865, and to the Yakima County, Washington, in 1871, which gives
him a residence on the Pacific Coast of sixty years, and a wide range of pioneer
experience. During the years of early development and efforts at home building,
there was the ever present menace of wars and rumors of wars with Indians. With
his people he engaged in stock raising and general farming. In 1886, with Mrs.
Hughes (who before marriage was Miss Fannie Burgess, a native of Missouri)
removed to Douglas County, near Waterville, and engaged in wheat raising. It was
about the year 1895 that he became interested with B. M. Chapman and several
others in the land that was then known as Warner Flat, a short distance below
Cashmere, and was a party of the undertaking to build an irrigation canal from
Wenatchee River. While that project failed of completion, Mr. Hughes later
acquired water from the Highline canal, and now has a fine home on the main
highway between Wenatchee and Cashmere. Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs.
Hughes, whose names follow: Grace, Arthur, Alice, Palmer, Marie, Floyd and
Rowland.
