    • The Canton Press-News, Canton, MO
      La Grange, Mo.--June 3--W. Andrew Hudson, 78, of Canton, was killed Thursday afternoon when his car collided three miles south of her on U.S. 61 with a car driven by Mrs. Rose Day, 25, of La Grange, who was seriously injured.
      Mrs. Day, wife of Dean Day and mother of three small children, was taken to Blessing hospital in Quincy where her condition Friday morning was reported fair. She received a fractured left wrist, lacerations of the head and knees, puncture wounds of the chest and left elbow and numerous abrasions.
      Hudson, who died at the wheel of his car, was apparently driving south on U.S. 61 when his auto collided with the one driven by Mrs. Day. the Missouri state patrol at Macon said the point of impact indicated both cars were traveling on the wrong side of the road. The car driven by Mrs. Day halted in the driveway of the John Waring farm on the east side of the road. Hudson's auto came to a halt approximately 150 feet from the driveway. Both cars were extensively damaged. Mr. Hudson, who was born near Newark in Knox county, was retired from the Illinois Manufacturing company. He had also been previously employed by the Moorman Manufacturing company in Quincy. He attended the Christian church and was a member of the Mason.
      Surviving are his widow, the former Diamond Fern Porter; three daughters, Mrs. Erena May of the home, Mrs. Bernice Zeng of Ft. Collins, Col, and Mrs. Mary Ann Anderson of California; a son, Le H. of Akron, O.; five grandchildren: one great-grandchild; two brothers, Dr. W. L. Hudson of Lewiston, and T. S. Hudson of St. Petersburg, Fla., and a sister, Mrs. Sally VanOsdol of Chicago.
