The Standard, Jan. 10, 1901
Rev. John A. Hudson -- Subject of this sketch was born Oct. the 26, 1835 in 
South Carolina, moved to Alabama while yet a child, joined the Methodist church 
in his youth and lived a consistent member of the same until his death which 
event occurred Dec the 19th 1900.  Brother Hudson was a very useful man in his 
community, having been a Minister of the Gospel for about twenty five years.  
He lived to see all his children grown except one and to see all of them 
converted and received with the church of his choice except two who no doubt 
will become members of the church when they are older as it was the consistent 
prayer of Brother Hudson that his children all embrace the christian religion 
and from the acquaintance the writer had with Brother Hudson he believes that 
old Brothers prayer will be answered.  Brother Hudson was married to Tabitha E. 
Moore Oct the 10, 1876.  He leaves wife and several children to mourn his 
death, besides a number of other relatives and friends.  Having lived for about 
eighteen years within a mile of Brother Hudson and having been with him in 
meetings and Sunday School time and again and having watched his acts for more 
than twenty years, the writer is free to say that he believes that John A. 
Hudson lived the life of a Christian and died the death of the same. Therefore, 
I would say to the widow, and the sorrowing children; weep not. "He is not dead 
but sleepeth."  I have no doubt that the spirit of Brother Hudson, having 
crossed over the river now rests in the shade of the trees of paradise.  Let 
the widow, children as well as his friends that are left behind prepare for 
death that we may all meet him again in the land where there is no more pain, 
no more sickness, and where the sun never goes down, and where all tears are 
wiped away.  A Friend.
