THE LATE CHARLES HUGHES.
 Few men will be more missed within radius of 9 miles of Brookfield than will be the late Charles Hughes, better known as the 'sspectacle man," who died sud- denly while entering the house of one of his neighbors on Saturday, November 26, aged Sl years. For the past 40 years, Mir Hughes has resided in this vicinity and busily followed his occupation as an op- tician, enjoying the confidence of his friends and neighbors and establishing reputation for honesty and integrity which is a precious legacy to his child ren. Mir Hughes was born in Dumfries, Scotland about 1Sll. His father came to this country soon after the birth Of his son, on business, and was accldently drowned in Boston harbor. His mother died soon after and an aunt had charge of him till he became old enough to take care of himself After he grew to man. hood he became acquainted with MISS Jean Smythe, daughter of gentleman living near his home and proposed mar riage. The lady was favorable, but her parents objected. Mr Hughes then came to this country. In the course of the fol- lowing year, the young lady followed him and went to relations in Whltoy, Canada. MT Hughes soon joined her ana they were married. Six children were the result of the union. Two died in ln- fancy. One daughter married William F. Hoyt of Bethel and died few years since. leaving two children. Another daughter married George Dickens, also of Bethel and is still living. The eldest son. Charles J. is well known as the pro- prietor of the Stratford granite and mal ble works and the other son, Francls Smythe Hughes, is in the employ or the Berkshire division of the Consolidated railroad. MT Hughes wife died Tn looo' Tn 1872 he married Miss Hurd of Mon- roe. Ct., who survives him. The funeral services were held at his late residence on Tuesday, the 30th, Rev MT Whltcome otficiatino. The interment was in the new cemetery MT Hughes by his thrift and industry accumulated quite prop ertv, owning several small farms in town. For many years he travelled his rounds on foot but as old age came on he drove a team. His love of good story and rare ability to tell one made him wei come visitor to every home on the line of his travels.
