Monticellonian Oct. 20, 1892: In this city, on the 14th inst. Sheriff C.F. Hudspeth, after a months illness, with flux. Mr. Hudspeth had only been confined to his bed for a few days when the summons come calling him from home and family to the great beyond. But he had been a sufferer for several weeks, before taking his bed, with the dreadful disease which extinguished the light and life of a noble man, a generous friend, a kind father and devoted husband. The deceased was born and reared in this county, and was a little over 42 years of age at the time of his death. Just in the prime of manhood he was stricken down, and perhaps, no man ever lived in our community that held a warmer place in the hearts of our people than Chas. F. Hudspeth. He was just closing his third term as sheriff, in which he served the people faithfully and impartially, and by his uniform courtsey to those with whom the duties of his office brought him in contact, he had won their highest esteem and gratitude. Mr. Hudspeth was a member of both the K. of P. and K of H. Orders, and by these two noble orders, his remains were laid to rest in the New Cemetery. He leaves an affectionate and heart-broken wife, a dear little boy and many relatives and friends to mourn his death. To all of whom, and to his wife and little boy especially, do we extend our sincere sympathy and heart-felt condolence. It may be truthfully said of him that he was the "noblest work of God---an honest man." Jann Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com
