Judson was born on July 27, 1915, at Snipes Mountain,
Wash., near Sunnyside to Everett and Otie Moss Gould. He
attended school at Harrah, Wash. He moved with his family to
the Fruitland area. They moved to the Vale, Ore., area in
1930 where he finished his education and graduated from Vale
High School in 1935. He farmed in the Vale area. He married
Ruby Holton on Dec. 15, 1935, at Payette. They farmed in the
Vale area until 1948 when they moved to Middleton. He
continued farming there as well as working at the Amalgamated
Sugar Co. in the winter months. In 1966 he was employed at
the J.R. Simplot Co. in Caldwell as a mechanic. He retired
from farming in 1967 and retired from Simplot in 1977. He
worked for the U.S.D.A. as a potato inspector during the
harvest season for several years. They moved to Nampa in July
of 1987. He enjoyed his family most of all. He also loved
his retirement and going South for the winter months. They
did this for 11 years. Judson was the kind of person who
would start a conversation with anyone, and liked visiting
with people. He was a member of the Middleton Baptist Church,
and has attended the Montana Avenue Baptist Church for the
past several years. He is survived by his wife, Ruby of
Nampa; two sons, Milan Gould of Middleton and Bert Gould of
North Fork, Idaho; two daughters, Judith Johnson of Nampa and
