NEWSBOY FOUND BODY OF MAN
George Hudson, 74, Former Tipton Man, Thought to Have Died Wednesday
FUNERAL HELD TODAY
Unable to get any response to his knocking and curiosity causing him to make an investigation, a small newsboy at Kokomo Sunday morning, who had been in the habit of leaving a Sunday paper for George Hudson, 74, long time resident of Tipton, shoved open the door and was horrified to find the man dead in his home. The startled youngster gave the alarm and the body was removed to an undertaking establishment. Later Sunday the Leatherman ambulance went to Kokomo and brought the body to Tipton to be prepared for burial services to be held at the home of the daughter, Mrs. Loren Cottingham, 365 North Conde Street, this afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. George D. Foster officiating with burial in Fairview Cemetery.
Coroner Morrison of Kokomo who investigated found that death had been caused from heart trouble and that the man had been dead for several days. Neighbors report that Mr. Hudson had not been seen about his home on South Webster Street, where he resided alone, since Wednesday, and it is thought death occurred Wednesday night.

About 10 years ago he left Tipton, going to Kokomo, where he has been employed by the Pottery Works. Monday Mr. Hudson was at Anderson to visit his sister, Mrs. Rosa Hamilton, who is very ill and stopped on his way back and ate supper and visited at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Loren Cottingham in Tipton.
