[HUDSON, GEORGE T.]
Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, August 22, 1889
Died, Thursday, August 15, 1889, at the residence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. [ohn] E. Hudson, in Maryville, of consumption, George T. Hudson, aged 29 years.
George T. Hudson was born in May 1860. When a small boy his parents moved to Missouri and have since resided in Maryville and he has made his home with them. Several years ago George found that his lungs were not as strong as might be wished and went to California where he resided for some time. After his return here he worked at his trade. Last winter he spent in New Mexico in search of relief and in the spring went to Pueblo, Colorado, where he caught cold and was forced to return to Maryville in April, since which time he had been confined to the house most of the time.
About two weeks ago he was obliged to take to his bed from which he never arose. About this time he was converted to belief and faith in the saving power of Christ, of which he never tired talking until his death.
George was of a very quiet disposition but manly and cheerful. The writer had been intimately acquainted with him from boyhood and realizes that his loss will be deeply felt both in his immediate family and among his associates and friends.
His funeral services were held at the family residence in Maryville on Saturday, August 17, at 10 o'clock a. m., conducted by his pastor Rev. D. M. Yetter of the First M. E. church assisted by Elders Kenney and Cory. The Masonic fraternity then took charge of the remains and accompanied them to Oak Hill cemetery where they were laid away with Masonic ceremonies conducted by Rev. Kenney.

John Hudson Killed Himself.
Maryville Business Man Met Death By His Own Hand. A Terrible Affair. He Had Been in Failing Health Several Months--Long and Honorable Career Comes to a Sad End.
John E. Hudson, senior member of the hardware firm of J. E. & W. H. Hudson, killed himself at his home on West Third street Saturday afternoon. The instrument of death used was a double-barreled shot gun. Mrs. Hudson, who is an invalid, was sitting in a window on the east side of the house when she heard the report of a gun. Apparently by intuition she turned toward the door of a small work-shop on the east side of the yard. She looked just in time to see her husband fall in the door-way. Mrs. Woolley, their daughter, was at the house at the time and ran to her father. Before she reached him he was dead.
Was in Bad Health.
Mr. Hudson had been in failing health for several months. He was afflicted both with a serious trouble in one of his ears and with heart trouble. His condition had become so bad, that he had practically retired from active business. Ill health made him extremely despondent, but no member of his family ever suspected that he thought of taking his life. Saturday morning he went out for a drive with Mrs. Woolley. Later, as was his habit, he came down to the store, where he talked cheerfully to his brother, W. H., and the other persons in the store and customers who came in to trade. He ate dinner at home, and was about the house most of the afternoon, until the time of his fatal act.
Act Was Deliberate.
Mr. Hudson's act was perfectly deliberate. After his death a letter was found on a shelf in the building where he killed himself. He had taken his false teeth and laid them upon it to prevent it from blowing away. In this letter he made no direct reference to his purpose. He said that he realized he could not live much longer and that even while he did live he could be of no use to those who loved him. He was threatened, he said, with a paralysis of the throat and this would certainly take him off. He also made brief references to business matters. Toward the close of his note he requested that friends from a distance should not be asked to attend his funeral. This was the only reference made, even in the most indirect terms, to his purpose to end his life.
It is evident that Mr. Hudson placed the end of the gun barrels under the left side of his chin, and the discharge from both barrels passed upward through his head. He pulled the triggers with his feet by means of strings which were tied to them.
John E. Hudson was born in England January 8, 1832, and was, consequently, 68 years old. His parents brought him to the United States when he was four years old and located in Cleveland, Ohio. There he was reared and lived until 1852. For several years subsequent to this time he traveled through the country working at the trade of a tinsmith, which he had learned in Cleveland. He finally settled in Blandinsville, Illinois, in 1857, and engaged in the harness business with a gentleman named Beard. Seven years later he sold his business interests and came to Savannah, Andrew county, locating in that place in 1865. Here he remained until 1869, when he came to Maryville. Immediately on coming here he engaged in the hardware business and in this remained continuously until the time of his death, a period of more than thirty-one years. Mr. Hudson was the oldest business man, in point of unbroken service, in Maryville and probably in the county.
The firm name at first was Beard, Hudson & Company. A few years later Mr. Beard withdrew and it became J. E. Hudson & Company. During the entire time Mr. Hudson's brother, W. H. Hudson, was associated with him and in 1874 the firm name became J. E. & W. H. Hudson and remained so.
Mr. Hudson was made a Mason in Cleveland a very short time after he became 21 years old and had the distinction of being the oldest member in good standing in Nodaway county. He was a charter member of Nodaway lodge.
Sick About Five Months.
Mr. Hudson was sick about five months. He realized his condition fully and frequently talked about it to members of the family. W. H. Hudson relieved him of all cares of business, and he and all other members of the family endeavored to divert the sick man's attention from business, but he worried almost constantly about it. He had been in the harness so long that he could not adapt himself to his changed circumstances. Recently it had been observed that he acted and talked somewhat queerly. From his conversation those nearest him concluded something was going to happen, but they did not suspect the real state of facts. Since his death they perceived that a great many of the remarks he made were dropped for the purpose of indirectly warning them of what was coming.
Mother, Wife and Three Children Survive.
Besides Mrs. Hudson, three children survive, Mrs. Lillie Farrell of Platte county and Mrs. Allie Woolley and Ernest Hudson of Maryville. His aged mother, now 90 years old, also is living at Cleveland, Ohio, the old home. Two or three days before his death Mr. Hudson wrote her a long letter. Its contents are not known, but it is supposed that he described his condition to her and indicated that he probably would not live much longer. An attempt will be made to keep from her the violent manner of his death, as it is feared the shock would be almost too much for her.
The Funeral.
The remains lay in state at the residence on West Third street from 8 until 10 o'clock Monday morning, and, although the weather was bad and the streets very muddy, a large number of friends and acquaintances came in to view them. The funeral took place from the residence at 10:30 o'clock. Only friends of the family were invited, but many of them were present, and a long line of buggies and carriages followed the hearse to Oak Hill cemetery, where interment took place. Mr. Hudson had expressed the wish that his funeral should be as plain and unceremonious as possible and his desire was remembered and observed. The services at the house were conducted by Rev. E. B. Lytle, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church. The remaining services were in charge of the Masonic lodge. The following gentlemen, all Masons, acted as pallbearers: Ed McMillan, Judge M. G. Tate, W. H. Totterdale, James Todd, John M. Howendobler, and Captain Charles Hyslop.
A Long and Honorable Career.
With the death of John Hudson there ended a long, blameless and honorable career. It is doubtful if there was another man in Northwest Missouri who came nearer having the entire confidence and respect of everybody. He was not an easy man to get acquainted with, but everybody recognized him in his qualities of the highest character. No person ever questioned his honesty. He was a fine business man, but he never took advantage of a single human being. He had become wealthy but he did so by economy and the most unexceptionable methods. He was always public-spirited and labored to promote the development and prosperity of his town and county. He came as near being an ideal citizen as any person who ever lived in Maryville and town and county suffered an incalculable loss when he died.

Nodaway Democrat (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, July 19, 1900
John Hudson Dead.
He Located in Business in Maryville in 1869. For Several Months His Health Had Been Failing—A Good Man Gone.
John E. Hudson was a native of England and was born January 8, 1833.
When he was four years old, he came with his parents to the United States and settled at Cleveland, Ohio. There he was raised and lived until the year 1852. He learned the trade of tinsmith in Cleveland and for several years traveled through the country and worked at his trade.
In 1857, he engaged in the hardware business at Blandinsville, Illinois, being associated with a man by the name of Beard. Eight years later, in 1865, Mr. Hudson located in Savannah, Andrew county, where he engaged in the hardware business and in 1869 he came to Maryville and ever since has followed the same line of business. He had been continuously in business here longer than any other person. The firm name at first was Beard & Hudson, later it become J. E. Hudson & Co., and finally J. E. & W. H. Hudson. The business will still be conducted under this firm name.
Since his sickness of the last five or six months, his brother, W. H., has superintended the business. Mr. Hudson himself was able to be about the store only occasionally and then but a short time.
During his sickness, at times he suffered very much from a gathering in one side of his head, his heart was affected also and he seemed to become impressed that paralysis that would render him helpless was about to set in. These thoughts to him, as a man who had always been active and had attended very closely to the details of business, caused him to be very gloomy and melancholy and, no doubt, in connection with the disease preying upon him, affected his mind. But these things are more apparent now than before his demise.
A few days before his death, while up at the store, he went to the office desk and wrote a letter to his mother, ninety years old, who resides with his brother and sister at Cleveland, Ohio. Just what he wrote is not known to the members of the family here, but, it is supposed, he told her of his bad health and the probability of his death at most any time.
On Saturday morning he was at the store a while but did not stay long.
At the dinner table, he was without appetite. About two o'clock, his daughter, Mrs. Allie Woolley and little daughter, were starting to the church for music practice. He remarked to Mrs. Woolley to return as soon as she could, as he was feeling very badly. It is supposed that during her absence, he went out to the little work house in the yard and there placed the doublebarreled shot gun in the position he wished it. He went back to the house and remained with his wife, who has been an invalid for some time and is unable to move about without help, until his daughter and grand daughter returned and as soon as they went up stairs to change dresses, he went out of the house, and to the work house, sat down on a little box, probably placed his head close to the barrels of the gun, pulled the trigger by means of pressure from his foot in a loop of string attached to the hammers of the gun. Death was instantaneous. Mrs. Woolley, attracted by the report, hastened to the spot and there beheld a sight to shock her every nerve, but remembering the condition of her mother, she exhibited a self control truly remarkable. The news soon spread of Mr. Hudson's death and neighbors and friends hastened to the home to extend assistance and sympathy.
Coroner Crowson was notified but deemed an inquest unnecessary.
He left a letter on the work bench to the family, in which he said he realized he could not recover from his illness and in his condition could be of no use to himself or others. He also made some reference to business matters. He did not speak directly of the close of his life, but made some reference to his funeral.
Mr. Hudson leaves his wife and three children, Mrs. Lillie Farrell of Platte county, Mrs. Allie Woolley and Ernest Hudson of this city.
John Hudson was a man of very close attention to his own business. He was direct and frank in his manner and not given to the use of many more words than necessary to convey his ideas, especially in matters of business; but, when he had leisure, he was a very agreeable conversationalist and had a good fund of humor. He was the very soul of honor and, like men of this class, was highly sensitive. He despised a mean act and had no excuse for duplicity. In all his long career, covering transactions with thousands of people, no one has ever been known to question his honor in a single act. What higher eulogy can be passed on mortal man? Public spirited in any enterprise for the good of the community, liberal in his support of church and school, a kind husband, loving father, the best type of citizen, his was a clean, noble and exalted life. Between him and his brother, W. H., there were ties seemingly closer than those which bind even brothers together ordinarily.
He had stated to members of his family that when he died he wanted the Masons to bury him. He joined the order in 1855, when a young man, just before leaving his home in Cleveland to come west. He was a charter member of Nodaway Lodge No. 470. The only men in the county older in Masonry than he, are, as we learn, Judge Adam Terhune and James H. Saunders, while Judge S. T. Kennedy dates nearly as old in the order, he having been initiated July 4, 1856, in Maryville Lodge No. 165.
Funeral services were conducted at the home Monday, July 16, 1900, at 10:30 a. m., by Rev. E. B. Lytle, pastor of the First M. E. church.
The burial was in Oak Hill cemetery conducted by Nodaway Lodge No. 470 A. F. and A. M., Joseph E. Reese acting as W. M. and Prof. Robert L. Denning as chaplain. The following Masons and close friends were pall bearers: Ed. McMillan, M. G. Tate, John Howendobler, Charles Hyslop, W. H. Totterdale and James Todd.

A Fatal Accident.
Joseph E. Huff, who resided about eleven miles southeast of this city, accidentally shot and killed himself last Friday evening about six o'clock. The particulars of the sad affair, as near as we have been able to learn them, are as follows. He had been in company with Mr. W. B. Gaschle, who was driving a team. When he left home he had taken his shot-gun with him, thinking he might see some game. He left the wagon, taking a "short cut" through the timber and in attempting to go through a wire fence, at a point on Hoosier creek, about a half mile from the Elmendaro church, his gun evidently caught on a wire and was discharged, the contents entering his left breast, causing instant death. Mr. Gaschle and Mr. Humerickhouse, hearing the discharge of his gun, went immediately to him, but he was beyond human aid and nothing remained for them to do but to inform his relatives which they did.
Joseph E. Huff was born in McLane [McLean] county, Illinois, April 21, 1853 and was therefore 34 years, 8 months and 15 days old at the time. He was united in marriage with Sarah C. [atherine] McCormick September 23, 1875. To them five children, four sons and one daughter, were born, all of whom are still living, the oldest being a bright lad of about 11 years and the youngest a babe in its mother's arms. The funeral services were held at the Elmendaro Presbyterian church on Monday last, Rev. M. V. Robbins, of this city officiating and were largely attended. The remains were laid away in Hartford cemetery, near this place.
Mr. Huff, about six weeks ago, became a member of Hartford Lodge No. 8, A. O. U. W. and was also an honored member of Mystic Lodge No. 62, I. O. O. F., in which order he had but recently secured a policy on his life of $1500. He was a very kind and generous man, respected and beloved by all his neighbors. His two brothers, A. B. and Frank L. Huff and his sister, Mrs. H. E. Johnston, arrived here Sunday morning from Quitman, Mo., and were present at the funeral services, and to them and his grief-stricken wife and little ones, we with numerous friends extend sincere sympathy in this hour of affliction and sorrow. – Hartford Call, Lyon County, Kansas, January 13th, 1888.

--We learn that Joseph Huff, formerly a resident of Green township, and a brother of Esquire A. B. Huff and Mrs. Howard J., Quitman, accidentally and fatally shot himself at his home at Hartford, Kansas, last Saturday. He was engaged in hauling hay and started to walk from the meadow to his house, carrying his gun. In crossing a fence his foot slipped and he fell, catching his gun in such a way as to discharge it, the load taking effect in his breast and causing instantaneous death. Mr. Huff was raised in this community and left many warm friends in old Nodaway county, who will be sorry to hear of his early death. – B. J. Post.

Atchison County Journal (Rock Port, Missouri), Friday, July 29, 1898
A Good Man Gone.
The Obituary and Biographical Sketch of Peter H. Hull.
From the Burlington Junction Post.
Peter H. Hull, one of the best known farmer citizens of the eastern part of Atchison county, died at his home eight miles west of this place last Monday, July 18, 1898, aged 71 years, six months and five days. His sickness was only of a few days duration, so that his death was a surprise to the community, very few of his neighbors knowing of his serious illness until his death was announced.
Peter H. [ammer] Hull was born in Clinton, Henderson [Hunterdon] county, New Jersey, January 13, 1827. He grew to manhood in his native town, residing there continuously until 1862 with the exception of two years spent in New York City. He was a cabinet maker by trade and followed the occupation for several years.
He was married to Miss Mary J. [ane] Lance, who died March 12, 1894, and whose obituary was published in this paper at that time. To them were born nine children, seven of whom are still living: Mrs. Eliza A. Warren, Bay City, Oregon; John S. Hull, Quitman, Missouri; Joseph Hull, Rhonersville [Rohnerville], California; Dr. Theo Y. Hull, Washington, D. C.; E. S. Hull, London, Missouri; Mrs. P. O. Colwell and Warren Hull, both of this city.
In February 1862, Mr. and Mrs. Hull came west to the state of Illinois and in October of 1869 they came to this vicinity, locating on the land known as the Reuben Abbott farm. In 1873 he purchased the home farm on which he died. in 1891 Mr. and Mrs. Hull moved to this place and remained until the death of Mrs. Hull in '94, since which Mr. Hull had made his home with his son on the home farm.
For many years he was a member of the Presbyterian church, but in 1894 he united with the M. E. church at this place, his own church having no society in Burlington Junction.
The funeral occurred at the residence on the farm Tuesday at 10 a. m., Rev. Ezra Downs, pastor of the M. E. church, preaching the sermon. The pall bearers were Judge E. Fast, R. R. Staples, Floyd and M. A. Colwell, Jefferson VanMeter and Henry Miller. The remains were brought to this place and interred in the Ohio cemetery beside his life companion.
To this brief sketch we feel like adding a short personal tribute. In many ways Mr. Hull was one of the best men we ever met. His industry and energy were phenomenal. His honesty and uprightness of character were never questioned. He was intelligent and a fine conversationalist, making him a pleasant companion and welcome caller.
He was of that positive nature that forms warm and faithful friendships and many a heart was made sad when it was known that Peter H. Hull had passed away.
The above tribute of respect from the Post finds a hearty response from a large circle of friends and acquaintances in Atchison county, with whom he had associated many years.
We are indebted to the Post for the excellent engraving of the familiar face of our old friend.

Death of Mrs. N. L. Hunt.
ESKRIDGE, KANSAS, June 29, 1889.
--Ed Republican. I desire to mention in your paper the death of Mrs. Mary Hunt who was well known to many of your readers, having resided near Maryville for a number of years. Mrs. Hunt had been sick for eight months with Yellow Jaundice. Two physicians were in attendance but about June 1 she grew worse, failing slowly until her death June 24.
Her children were all present, except John, who lives in Southwest Kansas. J. M. Hunt of Clinton, Mo., arrived in time for the funeral.
Mrs. Hunt was born Jan. 7, 1824, in Ohio. When eight years old the family moved to Illinois. She was married to N. [athan] L. Hunt Oct. 19, 1848. They lived on the old farm until the spring of 1874 when they settled near Maryville. They have lived near Eskridge since 1882.
Mrs. Hunt was a devoted wife and mother. She had been a member of the Baptist church for 38 years. The pangs of grief are softened by the assurance that she is now resting where there are no sorrows, or troubles, with the Savior, whom she loved and served.   A Friend.

[HUNT, MARY WILSON]
Eskridge Star (Eskridge, Kansas), Thursday, July 4, 1889
Death of Mrs. N. L. Hunt.
The silent messenger, death, has again visited us and cast a gloom over the entire community. This time his victim is an aged wife and mother.
After a painful illness of eight months, Mrs. Mary Hunt departed this life June 24th, 1889, aged 65 years, 5 months and 17 days. For several months the deceased has been a sufferer from yellow jaundice.
Her condition was not considered dangerous until a month ago. All was done for her that loving hearts and hands could provide.
Besides the home physician, Dr. G. W. Robinson of Fontana, Kas., was sent for and remained till the last. On Friday night it seemed that she was growing weaker and Saturday evening the relatives living near were sent for and telegrams sent to John Hunt, Clinton, Mo., and F. L. Hunt, Valley Falls. Frank and family took the first train for Burlingame and with a team reached home at 5 o'clock Sunday morning. During Sunday and Monday we watched by the bedside it seemed that her life was ebbing away and at six o'clock she quietly passed over the river.
The funeral was held at the Baptist church Tuesday evening at 4:30 o'clock.
In the absence of the pastor and at the request of the family, Rev. V. W. Robinson preached the funeral sermon using the text: "This honor have all his saints." It was an excellent discourse.
The remains were followed to their last resting place by a large number of friend[s] and neighbors.
On account of a mistake Rev. J. M. Hunt did not arrive until Tuesday evening, the funeral exercises being postponed so that he could be present.
Mary Wilson was born in Columbiana county, Ohio, Jan. 7, 1824. At the age of 13 years she moved with her parents to McDonough county, Ill. She was married to Nathan L. Hunt, Oct. 19, 1848, and they went to their prairie home in that county where they lived for 26 years. In 1874 they moved to Maryville, Missouri. They have lived near Eskridge, Kansas, since Feb. 1882.
Deceased has been a member of the Baptist church for 38 years. She leaves a husband and a family of seven children, Mrs. Kittie Robinson being the youngest. John, the oldest, who lives in Stevens county, Kansas, and 42 miles from a railroad is the only one who was not present.
The old clock that was bought in April 1849 still keeps the time faithfully and as she breathed her last it seemed to speak a sad farewell as it slowly tolled the hour of six.
She was willing and ready to go and while our hears are very sad at parting yet we know that mother is now free from pain and trouble and that she is resting with her Saviour whom she trusted and served for two score years.  [Poem not transcribed.]

The Silent Reaper Claims His Own.
Death of Henry Huston of Paralysis on February 12, 1908.
At his home near Clearmont, Mo., on Wednesday evening, January 29, Henry Huston was stricken with paralysis, lingering between life and death until 1:24 o'clock in the early morning of February 12, when he peacefully breathed the last and the watchers said he was dead. All was done that medical skill and loving hands could do, but to no avail.
Henry W. Huston was born at LaHarpe, Hancock county, Ill., August 19, 1845, being at the time of his death 62 years, 5 months and 23 days of age. He grew to manhood in Illinois and on December 23, 1869, he was united in marriage with Miss Corilla L. Payne and to them one daughter, Edley, was born who preceded her father to the better world January 27, 1899. He moved from Illinois to Page county, Iowa, and from there to Nodaway county, Missouri, in 1872, where he settled on a farm west of Burlington Junction. Here on August 18, 1875, his wife died, leaving him with a little daughter.
On March 10, 1878, he was married to Miss Mary E. [llen] Fitzhugh and to this union three children were born, Clarence Otie, who died in infancy, Ola and Myrtle. Mrs. Frank Headrick, a niece, was raised in his home from the age of seven and looked to him as a father. Will Huston, a younger brother, made his home with him for a number of years and now resides on the farm west of the Junction, from which the deceased moved to his late home near Clearmont nine years ago.
Henry Huston was a loving husband, a kind and indulgent father and good neighbor. He leaves to mourn their loss a wife, son and daughter, two sisters, three brothers and nephew and nieces besides a host of friends. About sixteen years ago under the preaching of Elder J. T. Owen, he gave his heart to Christ and united with the Christian church. The funeral services were held in the Clearmont Christian church at eleven o'clock, February 14, 1908, by Elder W. H. Rust, assisted by Rev. Norris of the M. E. church and the remains were laid to rest in the Burlington Junction cemetery at 2 p. m.
Mr. Huston was a successful farmer and owned about 380 acres of land besides carrying $4,000 on his life. A good man and splendid citizen has gone and will be missed in the community.
Elmer Huston, a nephew, of Bladinsville [Blandinsville], Ill., was with him at the time of his sickness and death and aided much, as well as Mrs. Eliza McClellan, a sister of Mrs. Huston, of Wathena, Kansas.
