---------
THE PARKE COUNTY SENTINEL, Rockville, Indiana
---------
James "Jim" R. Hudson, 92, of Rockville, died Wednesday, December 24, 2008, at Union Hospital in Terre Haute.
Born June 22, 1916, in Rockville, he was the son of Frank and Orana Hudson. His wife of 60 years, Laura I. Hudson, preceded him in death.
Jim graduated from Rockville High School in 1934 and attended business college in Terre Haute for a short time. He had a variety of jobs including a concrete block factory, Allison's (during World War II), and Ferguson Lumber Company before starting his own Roofing and Siding business. He retired in 1978 but continued raising Hereford cattle.
He liked the outdoors and enjoyed camping and traveling with his wife, Laura. He particularly loved tent circuses and calliope music. His life long interest in steam-trains began during the Depression when he listened to the hobo's stories along the tracks behind his home.
