HUDELSON was born in Paoli Township, Orange County, Indiana, August 19, 1832, and is the son of David and Sarah (Donnell) Hudelson. His youth was passed without noteworthy event at work on the farm in summers and in attendance upon the schools in the winters, whereby he managed to secure a fair education. He selected farming as his occupation through life, and this he has followed together with rearing stock and shipping. He owns 240 acres, and has a comfortable home. In September, 1854, he married Martha C. Hamersly, who was born in Martin County, Indiana, August 18, 1833. Eight children are the issue: Sarah E., Martha E., Lydia J., Samuel D., James C., Cyrus A., Mary A. and Cyrus J.

He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and like all citizens of the county his name is upright, capable, industrious and thoroughly honest. The Hudelsons are old settlers and are well respected. Hudelson Donnell Hamersly = Paoli-Orange-IN http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/bourbon/hudelson.cn.txt
