  JUDD, CHARLES WESLEY, was born in Berkshire, Tioga County, N.Y., 
January 30, 1829.  He was the son of Rev. Gaylord Judd, and brother of 
W. J. Judd.  Under the labors of Rev. William Wyatt he was led to 
Christ when but twelve years of age.  He spent some time in Elmira 
Academy and Cazenovia Seminary.  After supplying a year on the Tioga 
Circuit he went to Charlotteville Seminary.
  He joined the Wyoming Conference in 1854, and served the following 
charges:  1854, Susquehanna and Lanesboro; 1855, Choconut Mission; 
1856, Spencer; 1857-58, Berkshire.
  In 1859 he was sent to India, but retained his membership in this 
Conference until the organization of the India Conference, in 1865, 
when he was transferred to that body.  He spent twenty years of 
eminently successful service in India, highly honored by his 
Conference.
  In 1879 he retuned to the land of his birth on account of the failing 
health of his wife.  He died very suddenly in Wilkes-Barre on February 
11, 1880, where he had gone to advocate the cause of missions.
  He lies buried in the Candor cemetery, with a number of his kindred.
