Morphett Vale, November 22, Adelaide Observer, 25 November 1876, p 5, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article159491758:

The funeral obsequies of the late Rev. Patrick Hughes, Roman Catholic Clergyman, who died on Monday, November 20, took place to-day, and were of a most imposing nature. The procession started from the late residence of the deceased amid a large concourse of spectators, and proceeded to the chapel, where the remains were laid in a vault under the north-east window inside the chapel. The service was read on the outside. The deceased clergyman had been ill for about ten months; bronchitis having been the primary complaint. He was much esteemed by his flock; and both here and at Willunga, where he was stationed previous to his coming to this district, his sympathies were with the poor and needy.

The decease of the Rev. Father Hughes, although not unexpected, is much regretted in the neighborhood. He has resided in the south for more than 20 years. A large and an influential gathering assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to the deceased gentleman, whose mortal remains were yesterday conveyed to the vault in the local Catholic church.
