One of his brothers, Conrad Neuman died in 1918. I have found several names listed in the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid which may /maynot be relatives. I know that the family was German and Lutheran.

Hudson/Goodwin Lawsuit-1930's

Mike Blais [email protected]
11 Jul 1999
Looking for information on the Hudson/Goodwin lawsuit which occurred in the 1930's or 40's, where 6 descendants of the late James Hudson fought in court for a claim of his 260 million dollar estate. Looking for info, actually on all the claimants, but in particular the full name of Mrs J St Denis, of Mattawa. Hudson was from the Westmeath/Renfrew area, and this is a great piece of family history, assuming it is my line. I suspect it is, given the names involved-Hudson-Goodwin-Lanthier- and St Denis all fall in my lineage to James Hudson and Caroline Goodwin. But as The Hudsons and Goodwins are so plentifull, I would like to explore this to verify, that it is the right one. I am not sure where to look, exactlly for that information, I hope you can help shed the light on this great historic family piece.
