Sketch of Life of Andrew Fudge, Well Known Here - J - j Prominent Resident of Montgomery. West Virginia, and Loved Lead- ed ir. Community Mr. R. A. Fudge, prominent and well known business man of Mont gomery, died at his home in Fifth avenue. Montgomery, West Virginia. Sunday morning. December 21, shortly before five o'clock i i it- i .i e five o clod:. Mis death , , , .... . , ctt d as Ins condition had - i i j was not expc been serious for several weeks, and when the end came members of his i family, including those who had been summoned from distant points, were at his bedside. The Montgomery Times has the following sketch of his life: Mr. Fudge had been in declining health for about three years, and dur ing the past year had been able to de vote only a little of his time to his business. He was owner of the Fudge Hardware Store, the active manage ment of which has been in the hands of his son. Robert Fudge. Jr.. for the past year or more. Robert Andrew Fudge, was born Mav 31 ls6T- at Covington. Virginia the son of Robert Alexander and An na Ciilliam Fudge. At the age of nine years he went with his parents to Kansas, and spent most of his boy hood and young manhood in the west, over which he traveled extensively. He returned to Covington, Virginia in 15J2, and two years later, on June 24. married Susie A. Say- I les. at Cedar Creek. Nebraska. He Montgomery and opened the Fudge Hardware Store on Ferry Street, where his business prospered and grew, and a few years ago the store was moved to its present location on Third avenue. "Uncle Andy," as he was familiar lv known, was universally liked and perhaps no man enjoyed a wider ac quaintanceship or had more friends. He was loyal to his friendships which he valued as his richest possessions, and it seemed to be an outstanding trait of his to seek acquaintanceships that he might develop them into friendships and then made them last ing by that something that enriched his nature and bound friends to him. He was a sportsman in the truest sense, a fisherman and huntsman, and he was happiest when on the stream or in the field, or treking in the woods. His hunting and fishing ex peditions were a joy to him. and af forded him many an interesting ex perience which he delighted to relate to his friends. He was consistently f ous in , all things that made fo, 5 hh - nn matter no many tunes a uay one would meet him Lncle Andy always mcu.us , l ...e ieei ueiier. o one rniuuueu lung a stranger to him. for formalities were unknown to him and he easily made himself known and tendered the hos pitality of his store, home and town, with that sincereness that always met with an appreciative response, and won new and good friends to himself and his town. He was char itable to a fault, his pursestrings ever loosed to those in need; he visited his sick friends at their bedside, and in every activity of the community, he was active, always ready to take his place in any movement and do hjs fu ghare for the growth and progress of Montgomery along worth while lines. Briefly summing the matter up. Montgomery has lost a valuable citizen, one who will be san ly missed, and whose death has brought genuine sorrow to the hearts of everyone here. Recently Mr. Fudge's faithfulness to community activities, and his lay alty to friendships, was given recog nition by the Montgomery Rotary Club, when he was made an honorary member of the club, a distinction that is prized highly in Rotary the world over, and on with which few men are honored, and the only one that has ever been conferred by the local Rotary club. Mr. Fudge was a jcharter nu.nibers of the club and was a Rotarian in practice of its funda mental principles of "He profits most who serves best" and the Golden Rule. Mr. Fodge was a life member of the Hinton Lodge of Elks, and this lodge had charee of his burial at Covington, Virginia, with Father Jenkins, of Hinton. head of the Elks lodge, conducting the lodge burial ceremony. Tuesday afternoon. A short funeral service at the home here Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev. George J. Cleaveland. former Rector of Calvary Episcopal church here, preceded the departure of the sorrowing relatives and friends ac companying the body to Covington, Virginia, for burial. As was his re quest some time ago. his body- rest ed in the room of his birth in the old Fudge Farm Homestead Monday night at Covington. He wa? a mem ber of the Calvary Episcopal church, in which he was Senior Warden. Mr. Fudge is survived by his wid ow, two daughters. Mrs. Ruth DuLa ney, of Montgomery, Mrs. Anna Marie Sterrett, of Fort Wayne, Ind.. and one son, Robert Judge. Jr., of Mont- gomery. Two brothers and two sis ters also survive, these being Char les A. Fudge, of Covington. Virginia: A. D. Fudge of Princeton, W. Va.: Mrs. Mary E. Guildin and Mrs. Vir ginia Strauss, both of Arl?ona.

NO LABEL ON C0BK SUGAR Washington In an adminis:rative ruling Friday Secretary Hyde held the use of pure refined corn sugar in the preparation of any article of food need not be declared upon the label.

Hyde said the ruling "removes a discrimination against the use of corn sugar which has too long been permitted." adding the requirement was not a matter of law. but "admin istrative interpretation of the law." "There exists a potential market for corn thru corn sugar variously estimated at from 5,000JOO to 100, 000.000 bushels per annum," the sec retary said.
