Mrs McHugh, d.1969, was a daughter of the Rev. A.J. Small, a Methodist missionary to Fiji.

There are two documents, both by Mrs McHugh. The first is an 89pp. typescript entitled 'Memoirs of Rev. A.J. Small, Fiji, 1879-1925', which was produced in a roneoed edition of eight copies. The other, a typescript of eight pages, is entitled 'Some Reminiscences'. It bears the pen-name 'Gone ni Bua' and refers to the period 1891-1925.
