The funeral of Former Congressman Mudd took place this morning at half past ten o'clock. The body was taken to St. Thomas Church, at Chapel Point, near La Plata, where solemn requiem mass will be celebrated. Interment will be made in the family burial lot at the church.
The active pallbearers were Sydney E. Mudd, Thomas B. R. Mudd and W. Griffin Mudd, his sons, and F. De Sales Mudd, Jere T. Mudd and William Gilchrist.
Judge Hammond Urner and Judge J.C. MOtter, this city, were among those named to act as honorary pallbearers.
The body of Mr. Mudd reached La Plata yesterday from Philadelpha. It was taken to the family homestead now occupied by Mr. Mudd's son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. Carlisle Wilmer. His three sons accompanied the body from Philadelphia.
Sydney E. Mudd, former Congressman, and for many years Republican leader in that part of Southern Maryland known as the "Black Belt", died Saturday morning at a sanatorium in Philadelphia.
Mr. Mudd, whose home was in La Plata, Md., has been ill for more than a year. He was suffering from nervous breakdown and several days ago suffered a paralytic stroke.
His health began to fail soon after the death of his wife, about two years ago, and once before he had come to Philadelphia for treatment in the sanatorium. He arrived there in May 1969, and remained for several months.
Mr. Mudd is survived by four Children-Sydney E. Mudd, Jr. Assistant District Attorney of Washington; W. Griffin Mud, a law student; Thomas B. R. Mudd, a reporter for a Baltimore paper, and Mrs. J. Carlisle Wilmer whose husband is one of the appraisers of the port of Baltimore. The family homestead at La Plata is now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Wilmer.
Mr. Mudd was in the saddle until his health failed. It is true that just a few months prior to his illness he lost control of the Republican State Central Committee, but he retained much of his prestige as a State leader and many of his friends believed that had he remianed in good health, he would have soon recovered his lost ground.
During his long illness, a number of Mr. Mudd's friends made new arrangements and thus his death will not be seriously felt by the workers, although they will always miss his advice and leadership.
Democrats as well as Republicans joined bands yesterday in expressing their regret of his death and extending sympathy to members of his family.
