Miss Maude Hudson Is Death Victim
Miss Maude Myrtle Hudson of Albuquerque, New Mexico, died on Tuesday night of January 30, 1945 at the home of her niece, Mrs. J S W Hodge, Vardaman, Miss., having arrived Thanksgiving to visit her many Mississippi relatives.
She passed away after only a few hours of illness, resulting from a stroke. She had not been well for several years but she was jolly and seemingly as well add day Tuesday. She suffered only a few minutes before she became unconscious.
Funeral services were conducted at the Vardaman Methodist Church on Sunday Feb. 4, 1945 at 11 o'clock am, by the pastor, Rev. O L Elliott, assisted by the Rev. R C Mayo and the Rev. H N Mosley. Interment was in the Christian cemetery at Abbott, Miss. in Clay County.
Miss Hudson was a refined, cultured lady of the old southern type. She was born in West Point, Miss. nearly seventy years ago, and united with the Methodist church when a young girl, continuing a faithful member during her remaining years.
To her quite liberal education was added that of art, which she taught at several places. She left a prized collection of her pictures, which are distributed among her relatives and friends in several states.
But she considered her greatest accomplishment, the rearing of a sister's five small children. In her young womanhood, she promised her dying sister, Mrs. Rowena (Hudson) Gordon, that she would spend her life assisting the father, Mr. John Quitman Gordon and the Grandmother, Mrs. Martha Ann Hudson, in rearing and educating the four little girls and one little boy. This she did. No real mother could have been more sincere, faithful and true. She was very proud of her boy and girls, but she often returned to visit her Mississippi relatives.
The nieces and nephew whom she mothered are as follows:
Mrs. Martha Mary Hodge, Vardaman, Miss., Mrs. Maude Clark, Houston, Miss., Miss Alice Belle Gordon, Clayton, New Mexico, Robert Hudson Gordon, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Mrs. J T Swain, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
She is also survived by one brother, Robert H Hudson of Los Angeles, California and a great number of nieces and nephews in California, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Mississippi and a number of great and great great nieces and nephews.
Thornton Funeral Home had charge of arrangements.
