Daniel Hudson was born in 1856, and died in 1901. Daniel Hudson always held office. He caught or helped to catch many cattle and horse thieves. He knew all the trails and knew how to get the criminals. He held the offices of Sheriff and Lighthorseman for many years and never did have to kill any of the thieves, and there were plenty of them, too, from other states. He caught three men with fifty head of cattle up in the Kiamichi Mountains. They had stolen the cattle from a Choctaw at Hochatown, Johnson HARRISON. His men were behind and he rode up on these thieves, holding his gun on them for twenty minutes before the men rode up. He used to say those men were cowardly and he never took them again to hunt thieves. He has no headstone.
