Etta Iona Axsom was born the third of 5 children on August 20, 1880, possibly in Johnson Township, Brown Co., Indiana or in Monroe County, Indiana. At some point her family moved to the southern Iowa/northern Missouri area, where she married John Wesley Hughes on December 21, 1899.
Etta died on July 19, 1967. She was the mother of 2 children.
Etta and John are buried together in Freedom Cemetery near Saline, Missouri. She did not want to be buried on the Hughes Cemetery, located on John's father's farm, as she did not feel it would be maintained.
