Her funeral services were held in the "Old Stone" Presbyterian church, of Lewisburg, and it was very generally remarked that the unusually large attendance bore testimony to the impression which her life had made upon the community. "God bless all good women!" E. D. JOHN BOWMAN HUDSON. The subject of this sketch was the youngest son of the late Judge Isaac Hudson, and Annie. Bowman Hudson, of Dublin, Virginia. He was born on September 18 ,1880, and grew to young manhood -in his native home. At the age of twelve years he professed his faith in Christ and united with the Dublin Presbyterian church, from which place he never removed his membership. After the usual primary work, he spent several years in the excellent school of Miss Anna Belle Martin, at New Dublin, and was then, for the session 1898-99, at King College. He was a good student and showed splendid proficiency in his work, but was especially drawn to mathema tics and history. In 1899, his father having died three years before, he deemed it his duty to enter business. Accordingly, he went to Newport News, Virginia, then a young and growing town, and took a position on the city engineer corps. Applying himself assiduously to his chosen work, his promotion was rapid, and within a year he held the position of first assistant city engineer, and was hghly esteemed by all for his faithful and efficient work. USIC1 uccn YC1J MlUUfi, LIB was forced, within four years, by declining healtn, to seek strength in a change of climate. In the fall of 1904, therefore, he removed to Logan, West Virginia, and took up the work of a mining engineer. Here the same fidelity; perseverance and accuracy that characterized his earlier years, were displayed with even more intensity, and he had soon built up a large and lucrative business. Such was the character of his work, that in the. closing month of 1907 he was, without solicitation or application on his Dart, elected superintendent of the new and large E. R. Johnson Coal Mining Company. This position he held with honor to himself and profit to the company, and beloved by all the men who worked for him, until just a week before his death, when, realizing the absolute necessity for rest and recuperation, he resigned his position with the coal company, In order that he might seek health in the Great West. On September 4, 1907, he was happily married*to Miss Martina Dwen Ragland, of Latonia, Ky. This was Indeed a union of hearts, and for a little more than a year they lived happily together. Al4 1. - - - muugn me latter months were filled with intense physical suffering for himself, yet the tender ministrations of a devoted wife did all that could be done to soothe, alleviate and comfort. All efforts, however, proved vain, and just two day3 before the date fixed for the trip to the HE PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SOU West he was stricken with an attack of . the heart, which, in just one week, ended his career on earth. It had been the privilege of the writer to know for sometime that his faith in the Lord Jesus was strong and clear, but it was an even greater privilege to be with him in those las't days, filled with pain though they were, and witness the patient suffering without a murmur, the uncomplaining acquiescence to the will of the Father, and the utter absence of fear at the approach of death. And thus he fell on sleep December 6, 190S, just as the shades of evening were gathering at the close of day. R. B. H. MISSIONARY'S HOME LOST. Rev. J. P. Gibbons has been a worthy and faithful missionary to the Indians for about twenty years. He is "an Israelite indeed in whom there is no guile." Some years ago he acquired a small trace of land from an Indian, paying for the same not in money, but in service rendered according to contract. Upon this land he erected a comfortable but humble home. On account of the uncertainty attaching to titles to Indian lands, the former owner was advised to make the deed in the form of a "will," as it had always been held that this was the surest way that a full-blood Indian could sell his property. After the death of the party, the courts decided that a full-blood Indian who did not have his restrictions" removed could not even "will" his land. As a consequence, relatives of this InAU J- * * ' uaau v-ttiue i" ana Dy legal process deprived the missionary of his land, house, barn, stable, orchard, and all the improvements of years. He was compelled to move suddenly, and yet, like his Master, "had not where to lay his head." His family is temporarily sheltered in two rooms of our Goodland dormitohy. Some of us are taking steps to assist him in getting a home. Rev. Silas Bacon, Indian preacher, gives as his contribution, twenty acres of land to which deeds can be legally made. Tf any other friends wish to aid him in his extremeity, such contributions will be cheerfully received by our offlce, credited to Home Missions, and promptly forwarded to one of the worthiest men in the service Of the fihiireh S.
