He went to work at the stove works at the age of thirteen years, and was continuously employed there during his life. He was a member of the Iron Moulder’s Union.
   He was especially skilled in his trade. He was a most exemplary citizen. He was of industrious habits, unostentatious in manner, free from vice in every form and was devoted to his home, where he spent all his leisure. His death indeed is a great loss.
   Mr. Hughes was aged forty-four years. Besides his widow he is survived by one son—Wallace, of Butler – and one daughter Laura, who resides at home. Two sisters, Mrs. Harry Moyer and Miss Laura D. Hughes of Danville, also survive.

MRS. HUGHES
LAID TO REST
Funeral Yesterday Forenoon Largely Attended -- The Flowers Were Beautiful.

Mrs. Catherine Waters Hughes, a well known resident of Danville, departed this life at 4:20 o’clock yesterday afternoon. She had been in poor health for some years, her last illness being a complication of pneumonia and heart trouble. Her condition while grave, was hardly thought to foreshadow early death, and her departure was wholly unlooked for when it came. Mrs. Hughes was very ill of pneumonia just one year ago and the fact is cited that of late year she has passed through eight stages of that exhaustive and often fatal disease.
   The deceased was 74 years of age. She was the widow of William W. Hughes, who passed from earth 27 years ago. She was born near Snydertown, but spent the greater part of her life in Danville. She was a member of Trinity M.E. Church for many years and was a woman highly esteemed for her Christian virtues.
