Atlanta Constitution, Oct. 30, 1942
Gainesville, GA, October 30 – Rites were held Wednesday at Oak Grove 
Baptist Church, near here, for IVERSON DANIEL HUDGINS, 78, teacher, 
religious leader, and noted horticulturist and propagator, with Rev. Homer 
Morris officiating, and burial was in the churchyard.

	Mr. Hudgins died Sunday at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Fred 
Sheffield, in Rootstown, Ohio, after a long illness.

	Born in Hall County, he was a son of the late I. D. and Emma Jane 
Hudgins, well-known couple, whose families were linked with the early history 
of the county.

	Mr. Hudgins taught school in this section for almost 20 years, was a 
Sabbath school superintendent, deacon and church clerk, and adult leader, his 
active association with the Baptist church extending over a period of 60 years.

	He was best known, however, for his work as a horticulturist and 
propagator, some of his discoveries eliciting national acclaim.  In the field of 
civil engineering and landscape designing his work called him into many fields.  
While engaged in this work at Decatur, he also served as superintendent of the 
orphan's home at that place.  At various times he also filled the position of 
superintendent of the Atlanta Floral Company in that city, and the Blue Ridge 
Park Nurseries in Gainesville.

	In addition to his daughter, he is survived by Hubert Oscar Hudgins of 
Atlanta; 4 sisters, Mrs. Ellen Stewart of Norwood, Mrs. Addie Brooks of Ben 
Hill, Mrs. M. J. Ethridge and Mrs. Nettie Barton of Atlanta.
