Profile: Jean Hughes of Lucknow lean Hughes was born in 1892 in the St. Helen’s district of Huron County. She graduated as a nurse from Victoria Hos- pital in London in 1917. She has many courageous tales to tell about her experi- ences caring for the sick in High River, Alberta, and later in Kinloss Township in Bmce County. Jean married Allister Hughes in 1922. They farmed until 1973, when they re- tired to Wingham, and then Lucknow. Jean was a charter member of the Kair- shea Women’s Institute in 1947. She was presented with a life membership in the Kinloss-Kairshea W1 in 1991. The fol- lowing extracts from a poem - written for her 50th wedding anniversary « conveys something of how Jean’s community still feels about her. As a nurse o'er the years, when file was so rough, She worked with the sick, and proved she was tough, As she stood by the stove, heatlng blankets galore, To wrap 'round her patient, as the lever would soar. For hours and hours, they say Jean Would stand, To aid or to comfort, wlth a touch other hand. There would be times she'd just wait and sir, I bet that was when she learned how to knit.

Out'ltlng and sewing, and crocherlng and knitting, This talented lady was never plain sitting. Her awards are many, and truly deserved, Yet much she has done has gone unobserved. Like the hours she spent comp/ling the past. To make the Tweedsmut‘r History, a book that will last. 0n the occasion of her 100th birthday last year, an article in the Lucknow Senti- nel reported: “This magnificent woman has been most generous in sharing her many talents in the community over nu- merous years."
