Discover Mrs. Sterling Dudley
in Unconscious Condition in
Woods Near Newport
After wandering for more than
thirty hours in a semi-conscious and
delirious state in the woods near the
town of Newport in which she '.ives,
Mrs. Sterling Dudley was found a
bout six o'clock Tuesday afternoon
about a hundred feet in the wood'
from the Newport-Harlowe road a
short distance outside of the town
limits. Mrs. Dudley, it is said, left
her home in Newport about an hour
before noon Monday and went for
a walk inthe woods near the east
ern part of the community. No one
knew about her going. ,
Her absence created an uneasiness
in the mind of Mrs. Dudley's young
daughter, Lillian, and she went a
round to all of the neighbors' home'j
in an effort to locate her mother. Np
one seemed to know anything abou"S
the mysterious disappearance of Mrs.
Dudley, so a general alarm was sent
out in the community and the im
mediate vicinity Monday night.
About fifty men gathered with torch
Rights and lanterns and combed the
woods within a mile or two of the
community all Monday night and
Tuesday, but the search was in vain.
Newport was in a turmoil 6ver this
unusual occurrence, and many spec
ulations concerning what had become
of Mrs. Dudley were circulated.
About six o'clock Tuesday after,
noon a colored woman found Mrs.
Dudley in an unconscious condition
lying face downwai-d in the woods
near the Harlowe-Newport road. SheJ;
was immediately taken to her home
and a doctor called. After receiving
medical attention, she regained con
sciousness, and her health seemed
llittle affected by the night in the
woods and the rains that fell.
It is said that she "made a , state
ment to the effect that she went into
the woods about eleven o'clock Mon
day for the purpose of getting some
tooth "brushes for her -mother, who
was coming dowrj that afternoon
from her home in New Bern. After
getting these tooth brushes, she
seemed to be overcome by an un
usual tiredness and sat down to rest.

GOES TO AUNT'S FUNERAL
Miss Lucy Holland left early this
morning for Clinton by motor to at
tend the funeral of her aunt, Mrs.
Lucy Bradshaw, who passed away
;home and everything seemed turned there at her home Wednesday morn
around and changed. She started
yvalking and her mind became more
and more affected until she was in a
semi-conscious and half delirious
condition.
Mrs. Dudley, according to the News
informant, even knew when the half
hundred men were searching for her
in the woods and saw the lights and
heard them calling, but by that time
she had lQst both her speech and the
power to walk. One member of the
searching party is said to have pass
ed within twenty or twenty-five feet
of the woman. The search was con
tinued all day Tuesday and many
times the calls of the searchers be
came audible to the somewhat be
clouded mind of Mrs. Dudley.
Although a part of each year is
spent in northern cities with her
husband, Mrs. Dudley lives for sev
eral months each year at her home
rin Newport. While there she is very
active in the civic and religious ac-J
tivities of the community, and

Miss Holland's sister, Miss Mary

friends at Kenly, also went to the
funeral.

JOHN MADES PASSES AWAY
FOLLOWING LONG ILLNESS
After more than three years ill
ness, which began in the summer of
1U30 with a paralytic stroke, John
Mades passed away at his home on
Orange Street about five o'clock
Tuesday morning. During the first
year he was in a semi-invalid condi
tion, but was able to be up and out
on the streets with the aid of crutch
es most of the time. Since then,
however, he has been confined large
ly to his home, and during the past
twelve months he has been limited to
his bed. He grew gradually worse
and about five or six weeks ago a
more definite change came in his
condition. Throughout his prolonged
illness everything was done by the
members of his family and friends
to make him as comfortable as pos
sible. Mr. Mades who was better known
as Jack was the son of Vas Buren
and Mattie Sullivan Mades. He was
born in Beaufort August 8, 1879, and
therefore was fifty-four years old.
He was a member of the Knights of
Harmony and the local fire depart
ment', and about a year before he
suffered the first stroke of paralysis
he became a member of the First
Baptist Church here. He was very pa
tient throughout his extended illness,
and was rather cheerful, considering
his painful condition.
In 1907 Mr. Mades wa3 married to
Miss Mary Catherine Whitehurst,
and to this union was born three chil
dren, all of which survive: Mrs. Roy
Diaz, of Miami, Florida; barl Mades,
of Beaufort; and Charles Mades, oi

upon by Mr. Mades as his real daugh
ter. Mrs. Mades passed away about
ten years ago. Mr. Mades is also sur
vived by one sister and one brother,
both of Beaufort; Mrs. Moses Aus
tin and Southey Mades.
Funeral services were ueid from
the late home Wednesday afternoon
at three o'clock by the pastor of the
deceased, the Rev. J. P. Harris. A
large crowd of friends and relatives
were in attendance at the last rites
and the floral designs were profuse.
A mixed choir sang the following
songs at the home: "Abide With Me"
"Sweet Hour of Prayer" and "Shall
We Gather at the River." "Think of
the Home Over There" wa8 sung at
the grave. As a tribute to their de
ceased member, members of the lo
cal fire department were in atten
dance. The body was conveyed to the
Ocean View Cemetery on the local
fire truck and the procession was led
by the fire truck from Morehead City.
