PUGH, Sarah Serena

Dothan Eagle, Dothan, AL, 23 November 1911

Washington, D.C. Nov 22 - Mrs.. Sarah Serena Pugh, widow of the late Senator James L. Pugh of Alabama, died suddenly early this morning at the home of her son, near Chevy Chase Lake. While Mrs.. Pugh had not been in robust health recently, her condition was not alarming, and her death came as a distinct shock to her children and large circle of acquaintances in the district. Sarah Pugh passed her 81st birthday last August.

Mrs.. Pugh was born in 1833 in North Carolina. Her maiden name was Hunter, and as a young girl she moved to Alabama with members of her family, where she met the late Senator Pugh, then a young practicing lawyer in the town of Eufaula.

Some years later she married Mr.. Pugh and lived amid the scenes(?) of his early legal and political triumphs(?) until 1879 when her husband was elected to the Senate of the United States to sever of the unexpired term of Senator Houston, who had dedicated(?) Senator Pugh for the junior senatorship of the state a year prior(?).

The body will be taken to her old home in Eufaula to be buried by the side of her husband. Funeral services in this city probably will be held Friday.

Mrs.. Pugh leaves six children: Mrs.. A. V. Cochran of New York, Edward L.
Pugh, a government employee of this city, Judge James J. Pugh of this city; Judge John C. Pugh of Birmingham, Ala; Mrs.. Sarah Pugh Elliott of Eufaula, Ala., and Henry L. Pugh, of Baltimore, MD.
