General Notes: Husband - Alfred James Loudon


He grew to man's estate on the farm on which he was born, and on which he always lived. He was bred a farmer, and was limited in education to the curriculum of the country district school, but he is of a spirit that keeps him in close touch with public affairs, and with the most advanced ideas in his private vocation. He became a Knight of Pythias in 1871; a Mason in 1873, and a Patron of Husbandry in 1882. He was a Republican in politics, and was long regarded a party wheelhorse in his section of the county. He frequently figured in county conventions and occasionally in State conventions as a delegate. For nine consecutive years he was school director, each time elected by a good majority, notwithstanding the strong anti-Republican bias of his district, and in 1902, he was a nominee for county commissioner but was defeated by only a small majority.
