James M. Hudson
One of the most successful and best known of the younger attorneys of Bloomfield, Indiana, is James M. Hudson, who was born in Center township, Greene county, this state, April 17, 1876. He is the son of Henry and Amanda (Hatfield) Hudson, both having been born
and reared in Greene county, the former in Center and the latter in Jackson Township James Hudson, grandfather of the subject, was a native of Kentucky, having been born about forty miles from Louisville in 1818. He was brought to Indiana by Starling Hudson, his father and the great- grandfather of the subject. Starling Hudson settled near Marco, Greene county, where he spent the remainder of his life. Henry Hudson received a common school education and devoted his life to farming. He died when forty-eight years old. Henry Hudson was the father of ten children. James, the subject of this sketch, is the oldest. The children are all living in Greene county, Indiana, except A.M. Hudson, who is a captain in the Idaho National Guard. He served three years in the Philippines with the United States regular army.
The Hatfield family, of which the mother of the subject is a representative, is one of the oldest and best established families in Greene county, one of the first settlers of Jackson township having been Ale Hatfield, who came from Tennessee. They were true types of the hardy pioneers and braved the dangers and welcomed the hardships and disadvantages of a new and sparsely settled country. It is such people as these that laid the foundation of our hardy western life and made possible the immense advantages of the present civilization, which their descendants enjoy.
James M. Hudson, the subject of this sketch, received his early education in the common schools of Center township, completing the regular common school course, graduating at the age of fifteen years. He attended the normal school at Bloomfield, Indiana, during the summer, and taught in the country schools during the winter months. He taught six terms in the district schools of Center township, two terms in Koleen, Jackson township, and was principal of the Owensburg schools for a period of two years. He attended the law school at the University of Indiana at Bloomington between terms and was admitted to the bar of Greene county in 1903, since which time he has been practicing in Bloomfield.
The subject was first married to Altoona Westmorland, a native of Center township, Greene county, Indiana, April 1, 1896. She died October 1, 1899. She was the first person buried in Greene county after the law requiring burial permits went into effect. Two children were born to this union -- Wendell L. and Marie C. The subject was married again on June 7, 1903, to Mamie Dye, a daughter of W.S. Dye, of Owensburg, Indiana. She is the sister of Hon. E.K. Dye, formerly a prominent attorney of Bedford, Indiana. They have two children -- Mary A. and Naoma V.
The subject is a member of Hobbieville Lodge No. 567, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. He is also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Owensburg, Indiana, and a member of the Red Men's Lodge, No. 253, at Owensburg. He is an active worker in the Democratic party and was a candidate for prosecuting attorney in 1906, after serving three years as deputy prosecuting attorney. He is in much demand for public speeches and is well and favorably known, and received the nomination for prosecuting attorney for the district composed of Sullivan and Greene
counties, in the spring of 1908.
