Uncle Cawley was the son of James Russell "Ruffin" Hudson & Anise Delilah "Lila" Becham Hudson. He married Bertha Mae Aultman on Dec. 6, 1919 in Macon, Bibb, Georgia. After Bertha's death Cawley became so grief stricken he took his own life by a self inflicted gun shot wound to the head at approximately 10:00 a.m. at home in Lizella, Bibb, Georgia. Bertha and Cawley had been constant companions for 54 years. They had buried their only son Clinton at the age of 14. Cawley and Bertha are buried one on either side of Clinton in the old Sardis Church Cemetery on Sardis Church Road. Cawley served with honor as SGT Co. A 151st Machine Gun Batt. 42nd Rainbow Div. in WWI. He wrote Bertha numerous "love" letters the entire time he was overseas. After their deaths these letters were recovered in their things. Though their own beloved Clinton was taken by pneumonia they loved Cawley's sister's son Jonathan Earl Rucks, Sr. as their own. He spent some of the most enjoyable times of his life during summers in Macon as a boy. Cawley's sister Corrye Dalton Hudson Rucks lost her life at 28 pregnant with her second child. She was seriously injured in the South Florida Hurricane that struck Dania, Broward, Florida in 1926. She died 44 days later. Cawley was a farmer on the same farm as his father & mother. He was known as a kind and loving Christian man.
