Obituary Hugh Falls Hudson
Entered into Paradise at Pontotoc, Miss., Feb. 23rd, 1910 Mrs. Hugh Falls Hudson, wife of Wm. P. Hudson, aged 45 years and 8 days. She was a faithful Christian and a member of the M. E. Church South at Pontotoc. A gloom was cast over the entire community when the sudden death of Mrs. Hudson was announced. With the going out of this life many hearts were filled with sorrow and pain. We in our blindness look upon death as an enemy, when if we could only see it so, it is the loving hand of the Father who quiets our vain struggling, drives away the pain and leads us into realms of everlasting peace. She leaves a faithful husband and three devoted children; Kathleen, Falls and Sue Reaves, two sisters, Mrs. J. R. Reaves, of Bolivar, Tenn., and Mrs. J. W. Clark, of Dallas, Texas, and two brothers, J. S. and L. L. Falls, of Middleton, Tenn. An infant daughter preceded her to her Heavenly home just five weeks. Oh! What a happy union. The funeral was conducted in the M. E. church by her pastor, Rev. Mr. Lockart, assisted by Rev. Mr. Cooper of the Baptist church in the presence of a large number of sorrowing friends. Death is bitter even when it takes from life those to whom there is so little to live, for when such a woman as she is taken, consolation fails of its office.
We can but bow to the stroke trusting in the all em-bracing wisdom and goodness of One who doeth all things well.
Her Niece
