Ex-County Commissioner John C. HUDKINS, of Union township, died at the home of his brother, Felix, at Berroda, Mich., Tuesday, aged 67 years. He had gone to Michigan about three weeks ago to wait upon his brother, who was very sick, and soon took down himself with a case of kidney trouble which has afflicted him for several years and death was the result. John C. Hudkins came to Fulton county about forty years ago and settled in Union township. His wife was Dorcas MARTENA and to them twelve children were born, four of whom and the wife and mother having preceded Mr. Hudkins in death. "Uncle John" as everybody knew him, lived a life which will ever be an object of honor for his relatives and wide circle of friends. As a neighbor he was always the good man of the community, as county commissioner for six years his constituency ever found him a sensible and affable guardian of county affairs, and as a companionable gentleman he had few equals in the county. The funeral was conducted at Kewanna yesterday, by Rev. BRAGG, of the Baptist church, after which the Odd Fellows took charge of the remains and laid them to rest with appropriate ceremonies
