His death was due to apoplexy. He retired on Tuesday evening in the best of health and failing to arise Wednesday morning he was called but it was soon discovered he could not be aroused. A doctor was called but before the doctor had arrived he had passed away. Robert Dudly or "Bob" as he was commonly called, was born at Des Moines, Iowa, Polk county, February 10, 1860, and was 52 years, 2 months and 10 days of age at the time of his death. He moved from Polk county Iowa to Dallas county Iowa, where he met and wedded Miss Ellen Williams. They lived there awhile but soon moved to Presho, S. D., where they homesteaded for six years. The next move they made was to Kimball, Brueel county, S. D., which place has been their home since 1913. He leaves to mourn his loss, Mrs. Ellen V. Mash, wife, four children, Charles J. Fred, L. C. Viola and Harold Mash, and many other relatives. The funeral was held at the M. E. church at 11:30 o'clock. Rev. Wilson officiating. The remains were laid to rest in Kimball cemetery. "Bob" will be missed by his many friends. But again comes the thought, "We know not when the Master calls but he knows best." The Star extends sympathy to the bereaved ones.
