Note: Information from a Family Group Record and a Ancestor Chart compiled by Violet Mae (Hudgens) Hornsby and provided to Dennis Reed.
The following information was received by email from Alva (Bud) Hudgens on August 3, 2003.
John Walter Hudgens was working as a miner in the Bunker Hill Lead Mine near
Kellogg, Idaho in the early 1920's when he contracted a terminal case of TB.
TB is very contagious and was rampant in the mining camps. Rather than
passing it on to his family, he left them and started using an assumed name.
He wound up committing suicide by drowning in the lake. He is however listed
in the 1910 census of Shoshone Co, Idaho with his wife Emma and Dau. Violet.
