Edward Harrison HUDSON, 79, was born July 6, 1874, at Abingdon in Jefferson county, the son of the late John and Elizabeth CLARK HUDSON. He had lived his entire life in this county.

A retired farmer, he was a member of the Christian church and the I.O.O.F. at Batavia.

Besides his wife, he is survived by two daughters: Mrs. Georgia DAVIS, Libertyville; Jessie, at home; a son, Dewey HUDSON, Batavia; and a brother Arthur HUDSON, also of Batavia.

He was preceded in death by his parents and two sisters.

Transcribed for genealogy purposes, I am a SMITH descendant.
