Family Members Help Ila Hudson Celebrate Her 98th Birthday

Ila Hudson, who was born in the Farmersville area, celebrated her 98th
birthday on June 9, 2004, in Greenville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
She was born June 9, 1906, and farmed the place her parents lived, making
nineteen crops of cotton herself.

Following her mother's death, she sold the farm and moved to Greenville where
she worked at Skibell's ladies wear store on Lee Street for nineteen years.
Miss Hudson retired from Skibell's and did alterations in her home until her
health determined that she lived where she could have nursing care.

Celebrating with her were nieces Helen Henson of Greenville, Jo Hall of Tyler,
Ruby Hudson of Greenville, a great-nephew, Lynn Hudson of Caddo Mills, and a
great-niece Jean Morris of Greenville.

(Miss Ila was Mrs. Ida Arey's twin sister. Also, Skibell's was one of the
nicer dress stores in Greenville. Weren't there three stores in a row on Lee
Street...or just two of them?)
