SAMUEL H. HUDSON, of section 15, and an industrious, thrifty farmer of this township, was the second of three children of Thomas H. and Mary (Crank) Hudson, both originally of Halifax county, Virginia, but who immigrated to Callaway county, Missouri, in 1837. Here the parents made their permanent home, and the father followed farming and stock raising with excellent success. The other two children of the family were William T. and James A. Samuel H. Hudson, after he grew up, was married to Miss Elizabeth Bennett, but she died soon afterwards, leaving him one child, Ida Lee.

Mr. Hudson was subsequently married to Miss Elizabeth Duane, and they have been blessed with eight children: Samuel T., David M., Thomas L. (now deceased), John H., James A., Medora G., Amelia M and Hiram B. Mr. Hudson was brought up to the occupation of farming and to the stock business, which he has since continued to follow. He has been reasonably successful in life, and has a good small farm, which is devoted mainly to grain growing and tobacco raising, having, however, some good stock also, to which he gives special attention. He has always remained at home on the farm except for a short time during the war. He was suspected of disloyalty by the smoke-house militia, and was arrested and hurried off to prison in McDowell’s College building at St. Louis, where he was made to languish in duress vile for about four months, until the close of the war. He then returned to his farm, and has since been busily occupied with his farm duties.
