Percy Hudson was born Aug, 7th 1910 in Confry Minnesota. Sometime between 1914 and 1919 , his family moved to Benidict North Dakota. I'm not clear on his life in Benidict , however they moved once again in 1923 to Warba Minnesota. Percy never married but stayed on the family farm to help out and in later years took the farm over. He inlisted into the Army in 1942 where he served somewhere in the South Pacific. He was a member of the Amphibian Engineers. His rank was PFC. He returned home in 1946 and ran the family farm until he passed away 2/10/1978.

Percy was also a Fire Warden until he died. He built a new house on the farm land around 1948. The wood to build the house was cut from his own sawmill. He cured and dried the wood himself. In later years he turned the potato farm into a dairy farm.

I remember when I was growing up that the farm was the place to go!  Everyone was welcome anytime . One of my fondest memories of Percy was him sitting at the table nodding off to sleep saying " yup yup got to milk the cows" . He also got me unstuck several times when I got into trouble with the snowmobile. If you were lucky enough you got to ride the Little A tractor with him or the bailer sometimes even the combine. Percy will always be remembered as a loving , kind and gentle man
