He represented Bossier Parish in the lower house of the legislature from 1904 until his accidental death in 1930.[1] Hughes was born in the Rocky Mount community of Bossier Parish[2] to William Josiah Hughes (1837-1921), a captain in the Confederate Army, and the former Mary Ann Clark (1843-1923). His home in Rocky Mount remained in the family until 1972, when it was donated to the Bossier Restoration Foundation.[2] In 1995, the house was relocated to Benton, the seat of Bossier Parish government. There the Hughes House sets in Benton Square near the Bossier Parish School Board office.[3] Hughes and his first wife, Lula Dubois Hughes (1869-1899), had three daughters: Mary Virginia (born and died 1894), Martha "Mattie" L. Hughes Dowdell (1895-1970), and Margery Hughes O'Kelley (1896-1973). Hughes later married Annie Oliver, who was born 1882 in Giles County, Tennessee. They had one daughter, Annie Elizabeth Hughes Hale Tucker, who was born in 1906 in Shreveport, Louisiana.[4] Hughes' legislative service traversed the administrations of seven governors from Newton C. Blanchard to Huey Pierce Long, Jr. He was Speaker of the House under Long's short-term predecessor, Oramel H. Simpson; in Louisiana despite the presumed separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches, the governor handpicks the Speaker. Long chose his lieutenant, John B. Fournet, a freshman member from Jeff Davis Parish in southwestern Louisiana, who later became the long-term Chief Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court.[5] Hughes operated the Kingston Plantation in the Bossier Parish community known as Hughes Spur, presumably named for Hughes' father.[6] In 1930, at the age of sixty-two and still serving in the legislature, he was struck dead by touching a metal cistern which had been electrically charged in a lightning storm. He had intended to use the cistern to fight a lightning-induced fire on his farm.[7] Hughes is interred at the Rocky Mount Cemetery.[8] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://house.louisiana.gov/H_PDFdocs/HouseMembership_History_CURRENT.pdf|title=Membership of the Louisiana House of Representatives, 1812-2012|publisher=house.louisiana.gov|accessdate=July 1, 2013}} {{SpeakerLAHouse}}{{Portal|Biography|Louisiana|Politics}}{{s-start}}{{succession box2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.scvtaylorcamp.com/markers.html|title=Louisiana Confederate Monuments and Markers|publisher=scvtaylorcamp.com|accessdate=July 2, 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM39C3_Hughes_House_Benton_Louisiana|title=Hughes House - Benton, Louisiana|publisher=waymarking.com|accessdate=July 2, 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/47279557|title=William Clark Hughes|publisher=findagrave.com|accessdate=July 2, 2013}} 5. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/?id=WRB81_IByjsC&pg=PA70&lpg=PA70&dq=John+B.+Fournet#v=onepage&q=John%20B.%20Fournet&f=false|title=Harnett Thomas Kane, Huey Long's Louisiana Hayride: The American Rehearsal for Dictatorship, 1928-1940 |pages=70–71 |location=Gretna, Louisiana |publisher=Pelican Publishing Company (1941 and 1998)|accessdate=July 2, 2013|isbn=9781455606115 |year=1971 }} 6. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://files.usgwarchives.net/la/bossier/history/towns.txt|title=Kay McMahan, "Bossier Parish, LA, Towns"|publisher=usgwarchives.net|accessdate=July 2, 2013}} 7. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/?id=i4GtEKTzUGIC&pg=PA17&lpg=PA17&dq=William+Clark+Hughes+of+Bossier+Parish,+LA#v=onepage&q=William%20Clark%20Hughes%20of%20Bossier%20Parish%2C%20LA&f=false|title=Clifton D.
