Prominent Wallingford Manufacturer Passed Away This Afternoon
Head of Big Brass Concerns. (Special to Herald.)
Wallingford, Conn., Dec. 11 – Hubert L. Judd, the wealthiest resident of Wallingford, died this afternoon after a long illness. He was born in New Britain seventy years ago, and first engaged in business there. Later he became the head of the brass manufacturing concern, H. L. Judd & Co., then of Brooklyn, N. Y., and later of this place. He leaves two children, a son and a daughter.

Hubert L. Judd was a nephew of Oliver S. Judd of this city, his father, Morton Judd, who was 91 years of age last November, is well known in this city, where he frequently visits. A Herald reporter carried to O. S. Judd this afternoon the first news of his nephew's death. The deceased was educated in the New Britain schools and early in life rented the rear portion of O. S. Judd's shop on West Main Street and began the manufacture of curtain stick tips. He removed to Torrington, where he became a member of the firm of Turner, Seymour & Judd. His next move was to New York, where he went into business for himself. This concern prospered, but the change of the plant to Wallingford proved a wise one. In addition to the Wallingford plant Mr. Judd owns a large concern at Chattanooga, Tenn. He is said to be worth a million. His wife died twelve years ago.

HUBERT L. JUDD, one of Wallingford's wealthiest manufacturers, passed away at his palatial home on South Main Street at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after a long illness of cancer of the right kidney. Deceased was 70 years old last April. He was born in New Britain, and during his life has pursued a successful business career, both in the west and east, and at the time of his death was president of the large manufacturing concern, the H. L. Judd & Co. Morton Judd, aged 92 years, father of the deceased, survives his son. Two children, a son, Morton, and a daughter, Miss Emma Judd, are left to mourn the loss of their father. Albert D. Judd and Judge E. M. Judd are brothers, and Mrs. Henry H. Martin and Miss Mary B. Judd are sisters of the deceased. All reside in Wallingford.

Since 1886, Hubert L. Judd has made his residence in Wallingford, and during that period the town has been greatly benefited by having him as a citizen. A man of affairs and richly endowed with worldly possessions, there were none too lowly for his consideration, and many were made happy by his consideration and charity given in that unassuming, quiet manner which characterized his life, and made his beloved by all who knew him.

Immeasurable is this loss, suffered by the community in which he dwelt, and his kindly presence will be missed by one and all. Deceased was interested in the work of the First Congregational church, and contributed largely towards its support.

The funeral arrangements were not completed last evening, but will be announced later.
