Robert K. Hudelson, for more than forty years, a farmer in Blue Mound township,died at 10 olcok Monday morning in his home southwest of Decatur. While he had been in failing health for more than six months his death, due to heart trouble was unexpected.

To the families residing in Macon county during the last two generations the Hudelson family and the old homestead are well known.

He was a member of Dunham post GAR having served an enlistment with Co. K, 53, Ind. Vol. and in the post he was a general favorite. He was a boy when he enlisted declared Post commander W. F.Calhoun, only 16 if I remember right but he saw the elephant before he got through. All of the boys did that served the last years of the war for it was then that much of the real fighting was done. In Dunham post Bob Hudelson was a favorite.
