Hudson, of Lockport, died at the residence of his mother at Lockport Sunday morning in the thirtieth year of his age. The deceased was formerly a resident of this place--his parents also residing here--and of late years has been a locomotive engineer with his home at Cleveland. He fell a victim to consumption, and in death found relief from bodily suffering, and an entrance into the future of redeemed mankind. Harry will be remembered by a host of school-mates here who recall him as a generous, warm hearted boy, a firm friend, and upright man. The remains were brought to this place yesterday. The services were held at St. Peter's Church, the Rev. Mr. Ely, of Lockport, officiating. The remains were interred at Oakwood Cemetery.
