He worked for my grandfather, Frank Monahan, who ran a sheep ranch with my father, Jim Monahan. Hughie was a character and a great tease with young kids. He never married. Hughie passed away sometime in the late 1950's or early 60's. I believe he is buried in the cemetery in Heppner, a small town of some 1400 people in Eastern Oregon. Please contact me if you want additional information.<br>
