MRS. NANCY HUDSON.
Mrs. Nancy Hudson, aged 73 years,
3 months and 20 days, died Monday
morning at 8:40 o’clock at the home
of her daughter Mrs. Henry Owen.
Her demise was very unexpected, as
she was taken sick only Saturday
night and her condition was not re
garded as alarming or critical until
early Monday morning.
Sunday morning, Dr. Owen found
her quite sick, for she had waited un
til morning to call anyone, such was
her spirit of self sacrifice and bravery.
About 5 a. m. Monday, she began to
sink rapidly and passed away only
four hours later, her death being
caused bv an intestinal obstruction.
The deceased was born in William
son county, middle Tennessee, her
maiden name being Nancy Margaret
Oliver. With her family, she moved
to Greene county, Arkansas when
quite young and two years later to
Jacksonport, where she was married
to Joshua Hudson. Besides a sister
Mrs. E. Silvy, the deceased leaves
two children, Mrs. Henry Owen of
this city and Mr. Samuel Hudson of
Paragould, who is expected here to
night.
Mrs. Hudson has been a member of
the Methodist church for 16 years and
was a lovely Christian character.
In her were womanly virtues exempli
fied and in the sweet and tender graces
of her character, iron bonds of attach
ment grew up between those about
her and the one who has been re
movea irom eariniy iriais ana cares,
which in this sudden severance, make
sorrow’s burden grievious. In the
ripeness of old age and the fullness
of Christian character, she has been
taken to her reward in the skies. May
this assurance and the sympathy of
of friends give consolation to her
loved ones.
