There is some uncertainty about Hughes's birth year. Most of the reliable sources give 1905, which is used here. Some sources give 1910, and one source (the 1985 Ocala-Star Banner article) quotes Hughes as saying she is 73, which would make her bith year 1911 or 1912.Alafarge (talk) 17:42, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
