Logan C. Hughes,

Our Lord called his faithful servant, Logan C. Hughes, Sr. of Ft. Myers, Florida and formerly of Charleston, Illinois, home on November 14, 2013. Logan was born to Clifford and Mary Ellen (Harrell) on August 8, 1925 in Charleston, IL. He attended Charleston High School and enlisted in the Navy during WWII having served honorably on a hospital ship from 1943-1946. Upon his return from the war, he married the love of his life, Ada (Crawford). Logan began his work life at a family owned sawmill. He found his life-long career as a “switchman” at Illinois Consolidated Telephone Company in Charleston, from where he retired after 37 years. After he and Ada retired, they purchased a home in Ft. Myers, FL and were snowbirds for many years. For the past 17 years, they have lived fulltime in Ft. Myers, where Logan enjoyed riding his 3-wheeler and getting together with “the guys” for coffee each morning. Logan was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He is survived by his loving wife, Ada, of 67 years, his children, Logan JR (Susanne) of Dallas, TX, Sharon Pearcy (Daniel) of Little Rock, AR, Wesley (Louise Garrett-special friend) of Charleston, and Malisa Smith (Mark) of Whitestown, IN. He is survived by seven grandchildren: Wesley Hughes of Danville, IL, Chad Hughes (Theresa) of Charleston, Jenny Pearcy Fagaly (Sam) of Charleston, Michael Pearcy of Charleston, Trevor Hughes (Malissa) of Tulsa, OK, Justin Hughes of Plano, TX, and Caleb Smith of Whitestown, IN. He is also survived by eight great-children. Logan was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Raymond Hughes; and two children, Linda Hughes and Michael Hughes. Logan, Ada, and their young family began attending Charleston Bible Center Church in the early 60’s. This led to a major turning point in his life when he trusted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. From that point forward, his faith and his church were major focuses for him and his family. Logan and Ada continued attending Bible Center until they transferred their membership to Winkler Road Baptist Church in Ft. Myers, FL. A Memorial Service is planned for 2:00 p.m. on Monday, December 9, 2013 at Charleston Bible Church, 2605 University Drive, Charleston, Illinois. Interment will follow at Mound Cemetery in Charleston.Myers Mortuary, 1502 North Lebanon Street, in Lebanon, Indiana is handling the arrangements.
