The Silent Reaper
Mary Ann Akin-Hudgins, daughter of the Rev. Moses Akin, a distinguished preacher of west central Kentucky and mother of R. V. Hudgins, of this county, died February 7, 1903, which was her 75th birthday. She was living with her son R. V., and had been since November, 1896.
She was born in Green county, Kentucky, February 7, 1827, and that county was her home the greater part of her life.

It was while living in Barren county, and in the year 1846, that she professed the religion of Jesus Christ, and united with the Baptist church at Mount Pisgah, of that county. She remained a Christian throughout the rest of her says and died as she lived - with the full assurance of eternal glory as the reward of her long and consistent Christian life. The next move she made with her father was about the year 1850, when he went to Madison county to preach, but returned in about a year to his farm in Green county. It was on this trip that she visited the grave of Daniel Boone at Frankfort, Ky., and formed the acquaintance of Mrs. Col. Speed-Smith, daughter of Henry Clay and mother of the late Hon. Green Clay Smith, who ran for president of the United States on the Prohibition ticket in 1870. Her memory was good and she knew her ancestors for 200 years back.

Their children's names in the order of their ages are: Robert, James, Georgia, Ann, Tom, Sam, and Leck. Two died without names, and there were two girls and six boys. Robert is a farmer in the county, Tom is a merchant in Leadville, Colo., Sam is a farmer in Illinois, James died in 1811 at the age of 23 years. Her husband, Samuel Hudgins, died in April 1895, at their old home in Hart county, Ky. She had one sister in this county. Mrs. M. E. Noe, of Forbes, and other brothers and sisters in different states.
