Smyrna times., 1931-08-05

! ing years and since his residence
in town he has left public affairs
mainly to others, his own home and
business absorbing his time. He
was one of the originators and
many years a director of the Kent
County Fire Insurance Company.
For a great many years he has
kept diary of local notable events
especially of the weather, which
ought to be of considerable interest
in the way of comparative know
ledge. For several years his sight
and hearing have been impaired
but no more than is usual with
persons of his age. His wife and
seven children survive him. He
leaves an estate of from sixty to
seventy thousand dollars, the larg-
er part of which we believe is in
well secured paper.

Accident. Sunday evening
as A. L. Hudson was returning
from the Blackbird Campmeeting
his horse took sudden fright at
something not discoverable and
sprang suddenly to the side on
North Main Street, the embank-
ment upsetting the carriage. Mr..
Hudson to be ready for possible
accidents, the horse being young
and spirited, had a rein firmly
grasped in each hand his weight
and strength exerted at the mo-
ment of the concussion throwing
fthe animal and for moment or
two they were all in a confused
heap in the dark. The horse came
up head towards the carriage, but
singularly and fortunately, stood
perfectly quiet on regaining its
feet. Mr.. Hudson's only injury
was a confusion of the forehead
but his daughter, Mary, was so un-
fortunate as to have her collar
bone fractured. His wife and Miss
Hickman sustained nothing more
serious than a scare. DR.. ]. G.
Swinney reduced the fracture and
sent the party to their home in his
own carriage.
