DIED VERY SUDDENLY - Rev. C. V. Hughes Expires Last Night of
Heart Disease - Rev. C. V. Hughes, pastor of the Free Methodist
churches in the city, died very suddenly last night at his residence on
Lincoln Avenue. The deceased had not been feeling well for about a
week, and the day before his death was obliged to take to his bed. It
was supposed that he had merely contracted a severe cold. Yesterday
afternoon he appeared much improved, and although he appeared even
still better last night, he suddenly passed away. His death is
attributed to heart disease. He was twenty-seven years of age, and
had been married somewhat over a year. He leaves a wife and child six
weeks old. The remains will be taken to Beaver Dam for burial, but
the time has not yet been decided upon. Rev. Mr. Hughes has been in
the city nearly a year, and during that time he has occupied the
pulpits of both Free Methodist churches. He was very popular among
both congregations.
