HUDSON, SADIE
(18 Jan 1923, Thursday, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. Bert Hudson died this morning at seven o'clock from diabetis.  While
she has not been well for some time her condition did not seem serious
until the past week and her death will come as a great surprise to many of
her friends.
Funeral services will be held at the Baptist church at 2:00 o'clock Friday
afternoon.  Interment at Fairlawn cemetery.
Mrs. Hudson was forty years old the 2nd of last September.  She was a
member of the Baptist church, also of the Royal Neighbors, and was a lady
held in the highest esteem of all who knew her.
She is survived by her husband and daughter, Thelma, sixteen years old,
also her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Shobe of Durham, Oklahoma, brother
John Shobe of Kentucky and Gus Shobe of Durham, and one sister, Mrs. Bert
Pannell of Elk City.
(25 Jan 1923, Thursday, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Sadie Shobe was born to Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Shobe at Guthrie, Mo.,
September 2nd 1882, and died at her home in Elk City, January 18, 1923.
She was married to Bert Hudson, in Arapaho, Oklahoma, July 21st 1905.  To
this union one daughter and two sons were born, the sons preceding her in
infancy, being survived by her husband and daughter, Thelma, her father
and mother, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Shobe and brother Gus of Durham, John of
Kentucky and sister, Mrs. Bert Pannell of Elk City.
Funeral services were conducted at the Baptist church by Rev. Hamilton and
concluded at the Fairlawn cemetery where the beautiful burial ceremonies
of the Royal Neighbors of America was read by Mrs. Hiebert.  Mrs. Hudson
being a charter member of that lodge and had always held some office.  The
love and esteem the Royal Neighbors held for her was manifested in the
beautiful floral pillow of purple and white being the lodge colors.  The
M.W.A. and W.O.W., Odd Fellows and Rebekah.
Mrs. Redden and the ladies of her immediate neighborhood sent beautiful
floral gifts.  Messrs. Midyett and Boney also closed the Bowling Alley
Friday, draping their doors in crepe.  Mr. Hudson has been an employee for
some time at that place.
Mrs. Hudson was converted at eighteen, was a real Christian and very
devoted to her home.  She has had the poorest of health for the past eight
years.  She set a wonderful example.  No wonder her neighbors were prone
to part with her.  She never had a bad neighbor.  In five minutes she
could relate a hundred good things about them.
It cost so little to say something nice, to speak a pleasant word to whom
we meet and life is very short at the longest.  The past week I heard so
many say "Sadie has been by my bed side day after day, night after night."
 These who are left realize as never before they have lost a wonderful
friend.  Mrs. A.L. Hiebert.
