Notes
a. Note:   N220 Otto was adopted by William E. and Orilla Hughes. William (aka Bill) Hughes was Otto’s biological father and Otto was given up by his birth mother, Sarah (Lizzie) Chambers. Lizzie married William (Will) B. Hughes and it has been proven that these two men descend from Samual an Christian Hughes, brothers from York County, PA. Otto was a crane operator in his youth, and then worked as a contractor building houses around the country during the depression. He played the piano and the guitar and he enjoyed oil painting. In his later years he taught painting classes in Crescent City, CA.
  Sue Collins talked with Gloria Popp, daughter of Orilla Brown, Otto Hughes's niece. Gloria remembers Otto coming out to visit in about 1958. Sometime in that time period Ott had met a widowed woman who went back to Oregon with him. A year or so later, she returned to the Pennyslvania area where she was from and didn't return to Oregon or to Ott. Gloria also remembers that her mother and grandmother talked about Otto's parents, Will and Lizzie Chambers Hughes. They said that Will agreed to marry Lizzie, pregnant with a baby, but only if she gave the baby up. Gloria also said that her mother (Frances) told her that Orilla Bear Hughes was a “wonderful woman’ and she felt that Otto was more her grandfather's (William E. Hughes) child.*
  *Sue talked with Gloria Popp again (Apr 2007) and Gloria wanted to clarify her remarks that she'd made earlier. She said that she remembers hearing from her grandmother that the reason that Otto was adopted was because William E. Hughes had gotten some girl pregnant and he and his wife agreed to take the baby and raise it. The family talk was that this was an unfair burden placed on Orilla Hughes as her family was nearly grown and there she was with another baby to raise.
  The birth records for Trumbull County records Otto’s birth on Dec 18, 1888 and has his parents as William E. Hughes and Orilla Bear Hughes and they live in Niles, Ohio. This is why this was confusing as Sarah Elizabeth Chambers Hughes is the mother of Otto. We know this is the mother as she and Otto had a lifelong relationship, even though she didn’t raise him.
