Died
HU DSON—In Coquille, Oregon, Sun
day, J a n u a ry 14, 1917, Mrs. Margaret
A. Hudson, aged 65 years, 10 months
and 24 days.
M a rgare t Ann Wheeler was born in
Douglas county, Oreg. June 18, 1851.
On April 18, 1867, at Scottsburg, Oreg.,
she was united in marriage to Joseph D.
Hudson. To this union five da ughters
and three sons were born, all of whom
are living and all but two of whom
were with her at the last, the youngest
daughte r not being able to reach Co
quille until a f te r her mother had passed
away, and the second son, being on a
hunting trip in the mountains of Curry
county, could not be reached with
message. Mrs. Hudson, with her hus
band and childrer^camu to Coos county
in 1875 and lived for a number of years
a t Sumner; some time was also spent in
Marshfield, and 26 years they moved to
Coquille, where Mr. Hudson died about
12 years ago,
Although Mrs. Hudson had not been
in the best of health for sone time no
speial anxiety had been felt for her.
On the 6th of this month she was down
town and did her marketing, and it was
while preparing the evening meal for
herself and son Duyne th a t she was
stricken with apoplexy.
Before medi
cal aid could reach her she had lapsed
into unconsciousness. She did not re
cover the |mwer of speech, though at
times she apparently recognizd mem
bers of her family and near friends,
and some hope was held of her recovery.
The funeral was held a t 2 p. m., Mon
day Jan. 15, from the M. E. church, of
which she was a member. The funeral
services conducted by the pastor Rev.
T. H. Downs assisted by Rev. Law of
the M. E. Church South, were simple
and impressive and the music bv the
choirs of the two churches was very
beautiful. Interm ent was in Masonic
cemetery.
Mrs. Hudson was a good wife and
mother and a kind n e ig h b o r and friend
and will be greatly missed.
The Herald devotes considerable space this week to
the Federal Farm Loan Act, and to the plan o f holding in
this city on January 27th a mass m eeting for the purpose
of “getting together” on a plan by which this valley and
this county may reap the benefits of the act. Any one at
all acquainted with conditions here knows that one o f the
great needs of this section is available money that can be
devoted to the clearing and developm ent o f our wild lands
and to improvements on lands that are already partly un
der cultivation. There are few farm ers in Coos county
who could not profitably borrow money for the higher de
velopment of their farms, for better equipment or for bet
ter buildings, if such money could be secured at a compar
atively low rate of interest and on long tim e. Many of
them would be glad to secure money at a low rate with
which to pay off incumbrances now bearing a high rate of
interest. It can be easily dem onstrated that a loan se
cured at 6 per cent can be expended in a way .to make the
farm more profitable and that the added profit will take
care of the payments by which the debt is finally wiped
out. And this is not turning “ nothing into som ething,”
except so far as the farmer’s pocket is concerned. It is
simply done by better utilization of the productive power
