Frenton.-John H. Hudson, living on
route 5, received notification of the
death Of his son, Willie Clark Hudson
Oct. 81, 1918. No particulars were
given as to where and how the young
man died.
Young Hudson left Trenton with
number of draftees on Sept, 8, 1913,
and was landed in Brest, France, on
Oct s, and was Immediately sent to a
hospital. The announcement of his
arrival in France was the last Mr.
Hudson ever heard of his son, though
repeated efforts through the War De-
partment and the Red Cross were made
to locate him, and the hospital seemed
to have lost all record OF him after be-
ing received therein. A companion
Leonard Fletcher, was also sent to the
same hospital at the time, and upon his
recovery thought that Hudson was also
convalescent and had been discharged
from the hospital and probably trans
ferTed to another company. Fletcher
returned to his home in Gibson County,
but was unable to tell the boys par
ents anything about him.
Had Hudson, an older brother, also
made the supreme sacrifice and died in
a hospital in Winchester, England, in
1918. His remains were brought back
TO the United States and reinterred in
Arlington Cemetery
