HUDSON CEMETERY
LOCATION: Section 5-1-2E. SW SE NW
This cemetery is several miles from any road and to get to it one must either pack in on a horse, use a trail bike or walk. It was canvassed by Mr. S. O. "Billy" Simmons in April of 1976 who drove a pickup part way and walked the rest. Mr. Simmons gave the information to his sister, Effie Simmons Shelton, who gave it to me. Many thanks to these people for their help.
