Charles Hughes and His Work to Be Subject of May TAGHS Meeting

 

 
Charles Hughes's shoe shop was a fixture in Timpson for many years. A
Timpson native, Mr. Hughes spent most of his life here doing what he loved
best: working with leather. He would half sole and heel your Thom McAn
shoes or Tony Llama boots, even re-build your saddle, but his real love was
creating hand-tooled leather goods. His skill was widely respected and
admired. Though he closed his shop over ten years ago and he, himself, died
in 2009, Mr. Hughes lives on through his surviving work. The Timpson Area
Genealogical and Heritage Society invites the public to remember Mr. Hughes
at their May meeting next Wednesday and view examples of his work which
will be on display.
 
 
TAGHS meets at 2PM on third Wednesday of each month in the Timpson Public
Library on the corner of Austin and Bremond Streets in downtown Timpson.
The public is always welcome.
