COLONEL T. R. RUDD
Odessa, Mo., Sept 5 -- Thomas Robinson Rudd, one of Lafayette County's oldest citizens, died at the Myrtle Hotel in this city last evening. Colonel Rudd was a true type of the old-time Southerner. He came to Waverly Lafayette County, in 1857, from Alabama, and has made the county his home continually since.
He was born in Petersburg, Va. in 1813, and when a small boy moved with his parents to Greenville, Tenn. When quite young he became an apprentice in the tailor shop of his brother-in-law, and worked at the bench for a number of years by the side of President Andrew Johnson. He worked at the tailor's trade all his life, and at the time of his illness, which was of short duration, was earning his own living at his trade. His remains will be laid to rest in the Odessa Cemetery Sunday.
