28. 1S22. His education was obtained in the common schools of that
time. At the age of 17 he joined the Methodist church, attending
at the chapel where John Wesley had preached, and with others, was
selected as a local preacher to exhort in the public parks of the city. November
10, 1S44. he was married to Miss Sarah Shefford. September 6, 1547, they joined
the church of the Litter Day Saints, and we may add in this connection that in
1S59 Mr. Hudson, with a host of others, rejected the doctrines and practices of
Brigham Youns in Utah, uniting in 1S65 with the Re-organized church under
Joseph Smith. July 27 of that year he was called to be presiding Elder still
retaining the pastorate.
In 1551, on New Tear's day they left Liverpool for America, coming by the
way of New Orleans to St. Louis, arriving the 26 day of March. The usual time for
a voyage then was three to five weeks, bnt a shipwreck and a mishap mide theirs
of unusual length and danger. They lived at Alton, Illinois till April 1S57,
coming to Nebraska with a company of colonists, one hundred and ten heads
of families. The intention was to establish three colonies, as nearly as practicable
about one hundred mdes apart, and Mr. Hudson had charge of this matter. The
first was located at what is now Genoa, the second at Wood River, the third
at Pawnee Springs now Cottonwood Springs. The holdings at Genoa were
vacated November. 1569. for the Pawnee Indians, the settlers of the colony,
although filing and pressing their claims for damage, by reason of their enforced
removal, never receiving anything. In 1567 Mr. Hudson was a candidate for
representative against Henry W. Depew. There were seven voting places
in the district: Genoa. Monroe, Columbus. Buchanan. North Bend. Fremont and
Fontanelle. Mr. Hudson received all the votes at Genoa. 110. There were some
225 voters in the district, but he was counted out by stuffing the ballot in
the eastern part of the district. Mr. Hudson has held a number of offices during
his residence in Platte county, some of which we here name, not pretending
to give all- Justice of the Peace, a number of terms: postmaster three terms;
county superintendent of schools, one year: county clerk two terms; county
representative one term, 15712. at the same time that Leander Gerrard served in
the senate. During that session it was that Governor David Butler was
impeached, Mr. Hudson being chairman of the house committee on impeachment
and taking a leading" part in the proceedings. There was a six months' session
with pay for forty days. Mr. Hudson was county commissioner one term of three
years: county supervisor for Columbus city three terms, and is now Police Judge
of the city. It may here be mentioned that he was one of the incorporators
of the Columbus Cemetery in 1563. and assisted m the burial of the first body
laid there to rest, that of Joseph McFadden. Mr. Hudson joined the Odd
Fellows in 1541. identified himself with the order here in 174. and has been a
prominent member ever since. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Hudson now living
are. James H. Bakerneld. California; Charles S.. Columbus; Helen Galley, wife
of J. H. Galley, Columbus; Mrs. Lilhe S.. wife of W. H. Winterbotham. Genoa;
Horace H. of Silver Creek; Sarah E., wife of J. C. Echols; Mabel, wife of R.
Jenkinson: Evaline R. wife of C. E. Pollock. Those who have passed to the
spirit world are: Joseph and Mary Emma, who died at Alton; Florence and
George, at Genoa: Louise E., wife of G. W. Phillips, who died ia this city April 3,
1598. It is scarcely necessary to say that the incidents of Mr. Hudson's career,
covering over three quarters of a century, very briefly given, would fill a large
book, which we could hope will sometime be written. Mr. and Mrs. Hndson live

About nine years ago. W. S. Howell
left here for Omaha, taking position
with the Milwaukee railroad as traveling
freight and passenger agent. He has
been promoted to general eastern pas
senger agent of the Milwaukee for the
states of New York and New Jersey, the
best gift within the keeping of the pas
senger department of the Milwaukee,
save at headquarters. His office will be
aSl Broadway, New York City. Mr.
Howell was connected here with the
Union Pacific, and will be remembered
by many Jocetai. readers as a genial
young man of intelligence, industry,
good character and energy, qualities
which bring men to the front in their
line of work.
J. H. Wurdeman of Boheet was in
the city Monday, and among the items of
new3 we had of him was that on Sunday
last the new Lutheran church. 2L2 miles
east and one mile north of Boheet post
office, was dedicated. Besides the resi
dent minister. L. Frank, there were
present, the president of the Geceral
Lutheran synod. Rev. Gutlebeu of the
vicinity of Lincoln. Rev. Grauenhorst of
Hooper, and Rev. Mueller of this county.
The building is probably one of the larg
est for a country church m the state,
being 32x48. entirely new and well fur
nished. The old building was sold to
Carl Rosche for 3175. One of the notable
thinss in regard to the church is that
the Grand Dnke of Oldenburg contribu
ted 3100 towards its erection.
S. E. Marty attended the funeral at
Chicago of tis relatives who perished in
the fire there three weeks ago. Their
bodies were found in a corner of the
basement, where they had evidently
sought an exit from the burning building.
The young chdd was in its mother's
arms and the husband and father pro
tecting both as best he might, all m a
death embrace, probably meeting their
fate by suffocation before the flames
reached them. The funeral was attended
by at least a thousand people, and it was
an unusual sight one fnneral. three
hearses, father, mother and little child, a
wnole family, whose spirits had doubt
less left their mortal bodies together,
and now the remains of these were bemsr
laid to their final rest. It was indeed a
sad fnneral.
The enterprising citizen coming
west with his wife and little ones, lim
ited in means and making his way as
best he can. finds considerable comfort
after all. The last rig we saw was the
ordinary road wagen provided with a
hay rack the front half of which was
arranged in the form of a square-cornered,
canvas-covered tent and used as a
living room, while the rear half was oc
cupied with baled hay, etc Smoke
from the projecting stove-pipe com
pletes the outside picture, and imagin
ation can readily paint the cozy inside
with strong and determined father,
gentle and loving mother and help
meet with their bright and blooming
hopefuls, all eager to be at the new
home in the west where they can "grow
up with the country."

Mrs. A. J. Smith has purchased the
conservatory and flowers with the steam
fumace of Dr. Clark and will move them
to their residence one block south of the
Baptist church in a few weeks. The
culture of flowers is exactly fitted to
womankind and there being no green
house here that raises flowers there is a
grand opening for Mrs. Smith to build
up an excellent business.
Do with alfalfa as people here start
ed blue grass. Keep some seed on hand,
and when you see a favorable spot put
the seed into the ground. It is said of
an English land-owner that when he
went out over his possessions he filled
his pockets with acorns that he planted
here and there as he went. Plant alfalfa,
everybody, in the most likely spots, and
we will have before many years a won-
derfnl country.
Humphrey is organizing a building
and loan association. These organiza
tions, where properly conducted, have
proved a great benefit to every commu
nity using them. Perhaps more mort
gages have been lifted, more residences
budt through the steady, regular and
constant accumulations of the budding
and loan associations than from any
other one source. Let them multiply.
They are certainly good for Nebraska.
"Do chickens pay?" This question
was asked us by James Hernby and as
an item of interest in the poultry line,
and a pointer to those who are so situat
ed as to keep poultry on a Iarze scale, we
may mention what has been accomplish
ed in that line by one family within
sight of Winside. Mr. Hornby keeps
Barred Plymouth Rocks, on an average,
about 130 hens. He finds on counting
up that last season they sold 3S0 worth
of eggs, raised over 1.100 chickens, of
which they sold about 1.000. at an aver
age price of about 20 cents each, and of
course had all the esrgs and chickens they
cared to use for table purposes. This
was an income of about 3250 from that
source alone, and at an expense, outside
of care and trouble, that could scarcely
be noticed on their half section farm.
