A few years later they moved to the Kenyon farm in Deuel County and then to a farm one mile north of Moritz. In the fall of 1907 they moved to Gary where in years to follow Judson managed all three elevators. In 1915 Judson purchased a half interest in the hardware with the late John Stevens and continued in that business until February 1946. He had served on the school board in both rural and city districts and for many years was a member of the City Council. To this union seven children were born, Helen, Harvey and Norman having passed away, leaving to mourn Mrs. Robert (Olive) Kelly, Claremont, SD, Orville of Eveleth, Minnesota, J.
