Not sure if this is a record of Walton Hudson or not, but in a history of the Wateree River/Bridge at Camden:

"In a letter dated January 13, 1903, an account is given of the murder of the Camden toll bridgekeeper, who was also the river stage observer. The Wateree Bridge offered a reward of $200.00 and the Governor of South Carolina offered a reward of $100.00. The bridge keeper was shot in the back while at his post of duty, and attempted robbery was thought to be the motive."
