 The church was filled with those who came to participate ip the last rites for the deceased
 The tragic manner in which he met his death last Monday night did not hide from him the many friends, who came to the fact, that through many years, and by many tests, Judd" had been found a loy- al friend and a ready helper in num- berless causes, and that he was al- ways ready to undertake any task or undergo any danger if by so do- ing he could help or rescue one in trouble.
 Not one, but a number of people in and about this region can testify to his heroic work in helping them when he did so at the imminent peril of losing his own life.
 His genial good nature won and kept for him a host of friends. He was of powerful physical build, a good wrestler, and boxer but sel- dom got into trouble on this ac- count. He was a good worker, and one oH the kindest and most con siderate of sons.
 The sympathy of the whole com munity goes out to the bereayed father, mother, sister and brothers for their great loss
