"Joseph Ecem Hughes: he was an itinerant minister in the Methodist Church in various towns in Arkansas, one stint in Lillie LA in 1928 where Dan was born. When he moved to California in August 1937, the Methodist Church in California told him he would have to go to Bible College. He was 47 years old, two children still at home, and he told them that was impossible.
"He quit preaching and became a laborer. He worked in the oil fields in Kern County, CA, was a guard at defense plants during World War II, was a laborer for carpenter work. About 1950 he was a laborer on a trucking facility being built. He asked how he could become the janitor there. He was hired when the facility opened, and was the head janitor until his retirement in 1956."--Emma Greer, Jan. 7, 2000
