E. V. HUDKINS, 83, familiarly known as "Uncle Van" well known resident of Kewanna, died at his home north of Kewanna, Thursday evening at six o'clock, from complications resulting from old age. Mr. Hudkins was not ill and a few weeks ago was about as usual, but his health seemed to fail him and he sank rapidly to the end. "Uncle Van" was one of the best known men in the Kewanna neighborhood, having lived in that vicinity most of his life. In early life he was a farmer but for many years he had retired and lived with his son, Frank [HUDKINS], who survives him. He was a member of the Kewanna I.O.O.F. lodge for 51 years and was also a member of the G.A.R. Funeral services Saturday afternoon at the Baptist church at Kewanna. Burial at I.O.O.F. cemetery there with the G.A.R. and members of the Odd Fellows lodge in charge.
