Inez Cumpston Hudson
May 22,1898-Nov 23,1970
Inez was the youngest of eight children born to John Quincy Cumpston and Margaret Ann Stierwalt Cumpston. She was born on the family homestead near Hay Springs. When she was still quite young they moved to another farm, this one in McPherson County, close to the town of Tryon. It was there that she taught school before her marriage, and some years later took in washing and ironing to provide for her three young daughters after her husband left the family. Marriage to Ben Hudson brought one more daughter into the fold, and in 1927 the family moved to Lusk, Wyoming. They share-cropped for numerous landowners for several years. In the mid 1930’s when homesteading opened up the Big Horn Basin, they moved to Powell, Wyoming, where she remained until her death. Family and friends were never far, and once you were a member of her family, you were always welcome at her table. She built and managed a row of five “cabins” on their town lots, and residents through the years became part of her extended family. She was a creative and prodigious cook; both old and young found welcome at her table. She was known for the beautiful quilts she sewed on her old Singer treadle machine, and her enthusiastic participation in the fall competitions at the county fair. Her house meant welcome and security to grandchildren and friends from far and wide.
