Page D-12: "ARTHUR GAGE HUDSON JR., 79, of Memphis, retired government sales representative with Chrysler Corp., died Monday at Baptist Memorial Hospital East of a heart attack.

Tennessee Death file #24020 states that Arthur G. Hudson Jr. died July 1, 1991, was white and a widower.

There were two Arthur G. Hudson Juniors in Memphis at the same time, Arthur Gloston Hudson Jr. (black) and Arthur Gage Hudson Jr. (white).
The Social Security Death Index gives the birth and death dates for an Arthur G. Hudson as June 16, 1911 - June 21, 1989 at Memphis. The 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses show another Arthur G. Hudson Jr. as the son of Arthur G. Hudson (born 1881 Tennessee) and Bettie (Bailey) Hudson (b. 1882 TN), all black. The 1910 census shows Arthur G. Jr. as six months old, so the June 16, 1911 birthdate would not match for him as he would have been born Dec. 1909 - January 1910 according to the census. By 1920, this Arthur G. Hudson Sr. and Betty Bailey had divorced. By 1930, Betty remarried Elgie Davis and was living in St. Louis with children Jonnie Bernice and Arthur G. Hudson Jr., who may have returned to Memphis later although a 1988 affidavit filed in Memphis states he died in St. Louis about May 8, 1975. The same affidavit states Arthur G. Hudson Sr. and Betty Bailey divorced in St. Louis about 1937, but the 1920 census lists them as divorced.

Arthur Gage Hudson Jr. and his father Dr. Arthur Gage Hudson Sr., who are buried here, descended from slave owners in Mississippi, so it is possible, though not known, that his ancestors owned the forebears of the two black Arthur G. Hudsons in Memphis.
