His first office was on the south side of the public square. He later moved to East street in a home which is now the parsonage for the Friends church. From there he went to 119 East South street, where he has remained since that time. He was honored a few years ago when he completed his fiftieth year in the practice of medicine. He was an honorary member of the Wayne County Medical society. In 1882 he was married to laura Greeen of Dublin and she died October 24,, 1929.

He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Frank Oler, of Richmond, one son, Eric Huddleston, head of the architecture department of the University of New Hampshire, Durham, N.H., four grandchildren and one sister, Mrs. Charles Hill of Orlando, Florida.

Mr. Hiatt was born and reared near Farmland and was a resident of Randolph county all his life. He was in the photographic business for many years and recently has been interested in several enterprises in Winchester. He was an active member of the Friends church and the Masonic lodge.

He is survived by two sons, DeLoe Hiatt of Orlando, Florida and Rea Hiatt of Chicago, Illinois, and a niece, Mrs. Will Lucas of this city.

The bodies were returned from Florida to the Fraze funeral home here Monday morning and were accompanied by DeLoe Hiatt, son of Mr. Hiatt and Russell Hill of Orlando, nephew of Dr. Huddleston.
