H. D. HUDSON -Vol III, pg 770
H. D. Hudson is the organizer and promoter of the Hudson Manufacturing Company
and from the beginning has been its president and treasurer. He comes to this
state from Battfe Creek, Michigan, where his grandfather, Pollard Hudson, had
settled in pioneer times, removing from the state of New York in 1837 and
becoming one of the earliest residents of Michigan. His ancestors had been
residents of New England for several generations. The father, James A. Hudson,
was born in Michigan and in that state H. D. Hudson was reared and educated,
pursuing his studies in the public schools.
Mr. Hudson was a salesman before starting upon his present enterprise. In 1905
he organized and incorporated the Hudson Manufacturing Company, which was formed
for the purpose of manufacturing sprayers and dairy-barn equipment. The trade at
first was confined to the Northwest but now covers the United States and the
business is steadily growing, becoming more and more substantial in character.
From the outset Mr. Hudson has been the directing spirit of the undertaking, and
its president and treasurer, and has carefully systematized the interests of the
business and pro­moted its development along constantly broadening lines, until
it has become one of the important productive industries of this city.
Mr. Hudson is a Master Mason, loyally following the teachings and purposes of
the craft, and he is also identified with the Knights of Pythias. He has
membership in the Minneapolis Athletic Club and gives his political endorsement
to the republican party, but while earnest in his support thereof he has never
been an aspirant for public office.
