MARGARET ANN (EADDY) HUGGINS

Obituary
The State, February 3, 1969

Mrs. Margaret Ann Eaddy Huggins, 90, former Hemingway school teacher and
cultural leader died Sunday in a Florence hospital.

Mrs. Huggins was born in Hemingway, daughter of the late Zachary Taylor
Eaddy and Judith Grier Eaddy. She was the widow of Frederick Eugene
Huggins.

Mrs. Huggins' education was provided by private tutors staying in her
home. She was tutored on the college level by Dr. William Haselden, a
Harvard University professor.

Mrs. Huggins studied medicine under her husband's maternal grandfather,
Dr. William Sylvester, who had received his education in London, mastered
five languages, and was a pioneer physician in Williamsburg County.

She was a member of First Methodist Church of Hemingway and a life member
of the Woman's Society of Christian Service. In 1908 she helped organize
a Methodist Missionary Society, the first of its type in this area.

She was chairman of the sacrament committee and prepared and served the
sacrament of her church for 33 years. Mrs. Huggins also did extensive
work for Red Cross and PTA.

In memory of her late husband, Frederick E. Huggins, who was also active
in the Hemingway Methodist Church, was a charter member, served as first
church clerk, was on the board of stewards from its beginning until
shortly before his death July 11, 1942, and her son William Sylvester who
passed away while a young man, Mrs. Huggins gave the seven massive pieces
of pulpit furniture which were dedicated to the church during the time E.
B. Johnson was serving as pastor.
