My name is Lucille Evans. I am also the great-granddaughter of Officer Hughes. His story is exceptional. I live in Williamsport, Pa, his hometown. His portrait is on a building downtown and in 2015 a street was named in his honor. I have been searching for your side of the Hughes family, Meredith Gibbs. I have family pictures to share.
