its nature and including diabetes.
The public did not know Dr..
Hughes was seriously sick, but from
the beginning of the carbuncle, his
attending physicians had grave
fears of its effects upon q system al

him into making mistake, and IT
certainly was impossible to induce
him to consciously wrong a single
human being or humanity in the
mass.
When conditions became befuddled
he often found himself standing
alone in his opinion In such cases
he always quietly gave his reasons
and voted what he believed, while
finding no fault with those who saw
the thing differently from another
point OF view
He had a very tender heart, was
charitable TO all. very broad minded,
full of benevolence, firm as rock In
his faith in God, and one or those
christians who not only fulfill the
theological definition. but live for
their fellow men every day Of their
lives. Never criticising the motives
or actions of others, he kept strict
censorship on his own acts and life.
To his personal friends he was al
ways Gibralter of friendship.
Liked ~ Lecturer.
+ He was a. member Of Westminster
Presbyterian church and active in
Its work, especially the Westminster
Brotherhood.
Several other Keokuk churches
have heard him before their clubs
and societies. He was always inter.
esting as lecturer. partly because
he always talked about things he
knew well. OF late years he. has
been heard often by the various
women's organizations devoted to
the uplift. He was especially valu-
able to and popular with the mothers
clubs to whom he often made adj
dresses.
Several times since he lived i'll
Keokuk, DR.. Hughes was called to
western Iowa and to Nebraska to de-
liver addresses. He also made the
chief address on several occasions at
the annual memorial exercises of
fraternal organizations here.
He was loyal Odd Fellow, Modern
Woodman and Knight of Pythias and
believed in the tenets Of these bro
therhoods. He was member Of a
number of medical and scientific So
cieties.

His High place in Medicine.


DR.. Hughes came to keokuk to be
professor of chemistry in the old
College Of Physicians and Surgeons.
In that chair he male record as
one of the best teachers of medical
chemistry in the country. He con-
tinued in that position after the
amalgamation OF his college into the
Keokuk Medical College, College OF
Physicians and Surgeons, and until
the latter institution was removed
to Des1 Moines to be a department
OF Drake university.
During the first years of his occu-
pancy of the chair OF chemistry, he
also studied medicine, and was
graduated in 1897 by the College OF
Physicians and Surgeons. He at
once entered upon the practice OF
medicine in West Keokuk.
In a few months, he was very
popular in the west end OF town,
both as man and as family physl-
clan. Year after year his practice
increased, and ne moved his office
first to South Seventh street and
later down town to the Woolley
building. In the meantime, his prac-
tice extended all over the city until
he had one of the largest clienteles
ever enjoyed by any medical man in
the history Of Keokuk. He always
had the respect of his confreres in
the profession and was on friendly
terms with most Of the other doctors
of the town. Hundreds OF families
in Keokuk will feel an irreparabie
loss in his death. 4 He attained to a
rather remarkable combination OF
the modern, city, scientific physician
and the old family doctor of the rural
districts. He was city physician
some years ago.

Was a Self Made Man.

While not born to actual poverty,
DR.. Hughes was a self made man in
every sense Of the word. His father
was farmer and the son was ambi-
tious for education and the ability
to do things.
When small boy he was taken
by his parents to Ottumwa and later
to near Des Moines and at Odel where
he received his schooling. After living
and teaching at villisca and Atlantic.
Iowa. he moved to Schuyler, Nebr..
where he attained distinction as an
educator and was for some years
director of bank.
In 1881 he married Miss Jennie
Anderson, of Atlantic, Iowa. who
survives him with his son, Horace
C. Hughes, of Cincinnati, Ohio. and
his daughter, Mrs. George $. .Yant.
of st. Joseph, Mo.

attained as teacher was what
caused him to be brought to keohuk
to fiji the college chair. He had been
teaching chemistry for years in Ne
braska and stood at the top OF the
educational system of that state
which devotes so much to education.
In Nebraska, while teaching at
Schuyler, he had been elected presi-
dent of the state teachers assocla-
ton. the state high school principals
association, and member OF thestate
hoard controlling educational mat
tiers in that state.
Previous to going to Nebraska ne
had been high school principal at
