Robert Hughes Dead.

Although he had been sick for sew
eral weeks, it was sharp surprise to
this community to learn last Thurs
day morning that Robert Hughes
was dead. The day before he ap-
peared to be better than for some
time previous, was able to cross the
street from his home and visit for a
short time at the store of John Dave.
He retired Wednesday night appar-
emily no worse, but about midnight a
decided change was apparent. He
was given immediate attention by
the family, and physician was
called as quickly as possible, but in
vain. At 2:30 Thursday morning he
had ceased to live. Deceased was
GA years of age, and we'll known in
this community where he has done
business as a merchant and salesman
in different stores for many years.
He was q native of Wales, and came
to Wisconsin in early man
hood. A devoted wife, three sons
and daughter survive him. all Of
whom were present when death
came, and who have many friends to
sympathize with them in their sor-
row. The funeral on Saturday was
attended by Iowa lodge, l. Q. o. f.
in body. Services We're held atthe
M. +. church, Pastor Straw officiat-
ing, assisted by Rev. Parry, Welsh
clergyman of Dodgeville, who prayed
and spoke briefly in his native
tongue.
The family wishes through the
TRIBUNE to acknowledge their ap-
probation of the help and sympathy
extended through their afliiction, by
the good people Of Mineral Point.
