                  PEGGY JOYCE'S MOTHER DIES; ILLNESS BRIEF

          Former Broadway Actress Expected to Arrive This Morning
 
Mrs. Dora Selena Upton Hudson, mother of Peggy Hopkins Joyce, former 
Broadway actress, died yesterday afternoon at 1:10 o'clock at a local 
hospital, after an illness of two days.
Miss Joyce is expected to arrive in Norfolk this morning at 10 o'clock from 
New York.
Mrs. Hudson resided at 319 Lee street, Berkley. She was the daughter of the 
late Mr. and Mrs. Laderna Norman Wood, and the widow of Arthur H. Hudson. 
Miss Joyce was her only surviving child, and was born of her previous 
marriage to Samuel Upton. She was christened Marguerite Upton, and was born 
in Berkley.
The Uptons moved to Camden County, N. C., about 1900, when Peggy was a small 
child, and Samuel Upton ran a store and barber shop near Camden Court House 
for about three years. Then Mr. and Mrs. Upton separated, and Mrs. Upton and 
her daughter returned to Berkley, where Mrs. Upton remarried and Peggy spent 
much of her childhood.
The body of Mrs. Hudson was removed to the Graham Funeral Home, Jackson and 
Jefferson streets, South Norfolk, pending funeral arrangements.
