Obituary
Mrs. Marietta Hudson, beloved wife of Robert C. Hudson, died at noon March 21, 1919, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Vanosdol, near Plevna, Mo. During the 12 weeks of her illness her daughter stayed with her and assisted her father in nursing and caring for her mother. Thinking a change might be beneficial she insisted on going home with her daughter and while she seemed bright and hopeful as usual for a while, her condition soon became alarming and after a season of severe suffering the angel of release touched her softly and the long waiting time was over.
Marietta Perry was born in Knox county, Mo., Jan. 19, 1869 [sic]. When a younggirl she united with the Newark Baptist church, later moved her membership to Mt. Salem. She was married to Mr. Hudson Feb. 11, 1883, Rev. O. J. White officiating. Two daugters blessed their happy home. Mrs. Bessie Greenly of Plevna and Mrs. Gertrude Vanosdol of Knox county, Mo. Mrs. Hudson spent her entire life in Knox county with the exception of several years spent in LaGrange educating her daughters, and she will be sadly missed in the community where she lived for her friends were numbered by her acquaintances. Her father died when she was a small child and she was reared in the home of her step-father, T. J. Morris, who had been living in her home and will sadly mourn this dear daughter. Her mother, Mrs. T. J. Morris, passed away Feb. 13, 1917.
Mrs. Hudson leaves six grandchildren, Luther P. Berry of of Lawton, Okla., a sister, Mrs. Ollie Anderson, and half-brother, John T. Morris, both of Knox county, and many near relatives. During these long weeks of illness she was so patient, growing sweeter and dearer as she neared the end, always anxious to reassure those who lovingly cared for her that all was well with her, greeting every one with a happy smile, solicitous for the comfort and welfare of her neighbors and friends; rememebering each thoughtful attention of those about her with a smiling "thank you." This same sweet smile grew brighter at the last as tho she glimpsed the glory from afar of that heavenly home she was nearing, and it rested there a parting blessing to her loved ones when the coffin lid was closed upon her. Her faith grew brighter, her eternal hope stronger. "Faith's journey ends in welcome to the weary, and heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last." She loved beautiful things, would caress a flower with tenderness. Between the leaves of her Bible were clippings of beautiful thoughts, and jems of literature that appealed to her, revealing the purity and strength of her character.
Funeral services were held at Mt. Salem church March 23, conducted by Rev. Dayton. Interment in I. O. O. F. cemetery at Newark. A great crowd attended the funeral, friends and relatives to say good bye to one they loved. A great profusion of flowers heaped upon the lovely casket were elequent expressions of the high esteem in which she was held.
The days of her pilgrimage were 6O years, 2 months, 2 days and time had touched her gently. She was not old. In her beautiful white garments and flower covered casket she seemed to be asleep.

"Of all the thoughts of God that are
Bourne inward unto souls afar.
Along the Psalmist's music deep.
Now tell me if that any is,
For gift or grace, surpassing this--
'He giveth His beloved sleep?'

'Sleep soft, beloved!' we sometimes say,
But have no tune to charm away
Sad dreams that through the eyelids creep.
But never doleful dream again
Shall break the happy slumber when
'He giveth His beloved sleep.'

And, friends, dear friends—when it shall be
That this low breath is gone from me,
And round my bier ye come to weep,
Let one, most loving of you all,
Say, 'Not a tear must o'er her fall—
He giveth His beloved sleep.' "

So you that loved her best be reconciled to this sad loss, knowing that some day you will meet again this dear one you have loved long since and lost awhile.
