(Cedartown Standard, January 23, 1902)
Mr. John W. Hudson, On Tuesday, Feb. 4th, just as the shades of night were 
waning, and the gray streaks of dawn were coming in the eastern horizon, the 
spirit of John W. Hudson took its flight. While he will be sadly missed by his 
family as well as by a large circle of friends who mourn his loss, yet we do 
not sorrow as those without hope, for we confidently believe that our loss is 
his eternal gain. For more than twenty-five years the writer has been 
intimately acquainted with the deceased, and can truthfully assert that he 
never knew a better man. Mr. Hudson was born in Carroll county, where he grew 
up to young manhood and enlisted in the service of the Confederacy, being a 
member of Co. F, of the 7yh Georgia, and proving a faithful and a gallant 
soldier, serving until the end of the war. After the war he moved to Polk 
County and married Miss Gladden, who survives to mourn his death. They have 
raised a large and interesting family. For many years Mr. Hudson was a 
consistent member of the Baptist church, and while he was an exceedingly modest 
man, his piety and loyal Christian character were never called into question; 
in fact, such was his nature and his life that on one could doubt his 
sincerity. As a Christian he was devoted and earnest as a friend, faithful and 
true; as a citizen, honest, patriotic and brave. It remains yet to be said of 
him that in his devotion to his family and loved ones, his true character is 
best known and most appreciated. May the good Father above vouchsafe to his 
grief-stricken family that solace which He alone can supply. (A Friend)
