LUDLAM
Cape May county has been honored by having so many of its son serve in the
Civil War and also in the upbuilding of the great and wonderful West. We
have to record the passing away of one who had the distinction of having
served in both of these events, Francis A. Ludlam, who died on a farm in
Holden, Missouri, August 26th, 1915. Mr. Ludlam was the brother of the
late Judge Jesse D. Ludlam, and was born at South Dennis, this county, July
24th, 1829. In his early manhood he followed the sea, which was the usual
vocation of that day. He enlisted during the Civil War in the Corn
Exchange Regiment of Philadelphia and took part in the memorable battle of
Gettysburg. In 1866 he moved to the West, living with his uncle in Illinois,
and afterward at the solicitation of his brother, Benjamin, who had
preceeded him to Missouri, he took up the occupation of farming in that
state. He leaves a son, Harry and a daughter, Mary. Mr. Ludlam was the son
of Christopher Ludlam, who was the father of 14 children, of whom three
are still living: Joshua B. Ludlam, at Brooklyn, N.Y.; Edward Ludlam, at
Pasadena, California; and Mary D. Brinkerhoff, at St. Cloud, Florida.
