The Paulding New Era, February 21, 1884
Mrs. Wesley Hudson fell dead from her chair last Saturday night.  It is not 
known what was the cause.

****************

A Sudden Death.  Written for the New Era.  

Old Aunt Betsy Hudson, the wife of old Uncle Wesley Hudson, on the 16th of 
this inst. 

After eating her supper as heartily as usual, went into the other room and 
took her seat by the fire and struck her feet out to warm them, and told some 
of the family to hand her the camphor.  The old man reached on the mantle and 
gave her the camphor bottle.  She swallowed a little of it and it seemed to 
strangle her.  The old man turned off to weaken the camphor a little, and she 
was dead in five minutes.  

She was an old mother that everybody liked that was acquainted with her.  She 
had been a consistent and orderly member of the church to something like fifty 
years, and was a devoted Christian, and while she is dead here and taken from 
our midst we believe that she is alive spiritually, though we all sympathize 
with old Uncle Wesley and all the bereaved family.
