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

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,

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

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 expressed opinion that
the ruling would stimulate consump
tion of corn sugar, and provide for
an expansion of the industry with
out affecting the domestic sugar pro
ducer. 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. "The reason for the old
