Page 1, Column 3GEORGE HUDSON TAKES OWN LIFE
George Hudson, 23, former Winterset boy and man was found hanging in a corn crib on the Fred Hudson farm two miles east of Booneville shortly after five o’clock Monday afternoon.
Relatives could point to no cause for the suicide, all saying that there was nothing at all in his daily life to cause it. They believe that he must have been temporarily insane.
George moved with his father, Fred Hudson, over a year ago to the big farm near Booneville from the Wylie farm south of Winterset. He lived in a house not far from his father’s. Monday afternoon he drove a tractor into his father’s yard to get some gasoline, put it in the tractor and disappeared. He was found dead in the corn crib two hours later. The Dallas county coroner said that death was undoubtedly due to temporary insanity.
George was the fourth son of Fred Hudson, former Winterset business man and farmer. He was married to Vera Osburne. His wife and one daughter survive.
The funeral was held at the Tidrick funeral home Wednesday afternoon. Burial was in the Winterset cemetery.
