| reputed to have been the best orator
the neighborhood ever had known
Hughes was at home in social cir
cles too, but had a leaning towards
sport, show-off and festivity. He
also was an expert old-time fiddler
"a good musician.
Once after officiating at we'd
ding at John Minter's house he
started about dusk to go somewhere
about five miles away in the woods
but after dark came back scratched
up by the bushes and explaining
that he had become lost and wanted
to remain overnight.
All the young folks in the country
had gathered at Minter's for a
frolic after the wedding as was the
custom in the old days, and they ac-
cused the preacher of having come
back to take part in the fun. Since
their own fiddler had failed to ap-
pear they insisted on the preacher
playing the fiddle for them to dance,
which he did all night. Every once
in while the dance would stop for
refreshments, the preacher always
getting his share. Hughes liked
grog, toddy, whisky or whatever else
happened to be on tap. He was re-
puted to be an expert horseshoe
pitcher and usually won his game
especially when it was played for
grog.
For these and other charges he
was hailed before the presbytery
where he spoke in his own defense
and won his point.
Hughes continued to preach as
before until fall, 1923, when he was
cut off by fever epidemic and was
laid away in the old Delaware grave
yard-no tombstone ever having
marked his resting place. Just an
old-time preacher-and that was the
way he ended.
Rev. Hughes was succeeded in 1924
by Rev. Henry Vandeman, who re-
tanned the charge well up into the
late 1840's-something few old-time
western ministers did for so long a
time. Only one, at Columbus, then
had been known to have exceeded
him in length of service. :.
Delaware had been the site of
two Delaware Indian villages, one at
either end Of later Williams Street
with a 400-acre joint cornfeld be-
tween them. Indians still were
around the neighborhood in 1910
when Rev. Hughes came to the set

THE FIDDLING PREACHER

Somewhere in the old burying-
ground at Delaware, that county,
lie the moldered remains of Rev.
Joseph S. Hughes, first Presbyterian
preacher there.
Hughes came from Washington,
Pennsylvania, in 1910 and organized
the first Churches at Delaware,
Radner and Liberty. Once he had
been chaplain in the army and had
been with Hull when he surrendered.
The Churches being unable to pay
much of a salary, Hughes had to get
his living otherwise and once was
clerk of court, later an editor and
still later worked in other capacities.
He had liberal education, was a
graceful, convincing speaker and was

Dr.. Karl Schmidt Dies;
Victim of Snake Bite

CHICAGO. Sept. ~ R.-An
internationally known author
ity on reptiles, who shrugged
on q bite by a venomous So
inch African tree snake, died
yesterday about "a hours after
the reptile bit him.
DR.. Karl p. Schmidt, 81, was
bitten Wednesday as he exam
ined the snake--a rear-fanged
South African boomslang--at
the Chicago Natural History
Museum.
DR.. Robert F. niger, museum
curator of reptiles. who was
with DR.. Schmidt, said DR..
Schmidt was bitten when he
held the snake too far behind
the head"
well, look at that" DR..
Inger quoted On. Schmidt as
saying after the bite.
He apparently paid no at
tention to the bite" DR.. Inger
said. He probably believed
the snake was too small or not
venomous enough to cause
damage"
The curator said the snake
was small and because of its
fang structure is generally con-
Sidered harmless to man. It
was sent to the museum for
identification by the Lincoln
Park Zoo.
DR.. Schmidt told DR.. Inger he
felt Ill Wednesday night and he
did not come to work yesterday.
He collapsed about noon and
died before he arrived at a
hospital.
