Elkader Register & Argus, Thur., 6 Mar. 1919.

Mary Hudson, daughter of Washington and Roxana (Bagley) Hudson, was born in Steuben county, New York, on July 8, 1838, and died at her home in National on February 27, 1919, in her eighty-first year. Upon the maternal side she came from a long-lived family, her mother having lived to the ripe old age (Remainder of this sentence very blurred and unreadable.). Horace Bagley, a former resident of Clayton county, died a few years ago at the advanced age of one hundred and three years. Her chance of attaining to a very great age was thwarted by chronic nephritis from which she has suffered for the past thirty years. Total blindness afflicted her in recent years, yet this adversity was borne with a most cheerful spirit.

Mary Hudson came with her parents to Farmersburg township in 1854, and at the time of her death she was one of the oldest inhabitants in years as well as one of the oldest in point of residence in the township. On September 22, 1857 she was married to Cornelius Morgan, who with five of their children and twenty-one grandchildren survive her. Their children are: George L. of Burt, Iowa; Hugh B. of Burlington, Colo.; Lewis D. of Aberdeen, S.D.; Mrs. Stella Bachtell, of St. Olaf; and James G., at home. There also survive her one sister, Mrs. Charlotte Godden of Burt, Iowa, and two brothers Albert and Squire.

Of late one of the principals of Christian ethics, coming home to the hearts of Americans is the idea of service. Service for our country, for public welfare, for one's home. In doing for others Mrs. Morgan devoted the long years of her life, and will be most kindly remembered by the multitudes that were fed and sheltered under her roof.

The funeral services were conducted on Sunday afternoon in the Lutheran church by the pastor, Rev. Bolsholm, and interment was in National cemetery by the side of her four small children, who died many years ago, and her grandson, Leland Bachtell, who died a year ago in the service of his country.
