"John F. Judy Passes Away
Founder of Judyville; Prominent and Widely Known business Man - John F. Judy died at nine o'clock Monday evening at his home in Judyville. Mr. Judy had been in ill health for some time and had spent the past four years in California, returning to Indiana last June and since that time his health had been failing rapidly.
Mr. Judy, when at the peak of his business career, was widely known all over the central states and his business at Judyville brought trade from all parts of the country. His place was known as Judy's horse and mule market, but he dealt in all kinds of merchandise.
Funeral services were held at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the Coffing & Robinson chapel in Attica. Burial at Riverside cemetery Rev. J. G. Muir, pastor of the Presbyterian church, in charge.
John F. Judy was born near London, Madison county, Ohio, March 18, 1865. The father, the late Skillman Judy was born in the same county and state, and his mother whose maiden name was Sarah J. Hunter, is now residing in Williamsport, John F. Judy attended only part terms of school in several counties of Indiana and Illinois, as his parents moved often. He went to the high school at Attica, just sixty days, his last schooling; soon afterwards he had the best certificate that Indiana gave to school teachers. He had done his studying in the corn fields at noons and nights. He taught school for five years and liked most what were called his bad boys and girls. They gave him something to work on-life and snap. He never boarded away from home. He saved his money.
John F. Judy was a remarkable man in many respects. There was and never will be but one John F. Judy. The editor of this paper has done thousands of dollars worth of business with this unique character, and found him, not withstanding his later financial embarrassment, scrupulously honest, full of business and a friend of the man who tried to be honest and square, but likewise the terror of the crook when in his hands.
John F. Judy may have made many mistakes, like all of us in life, but he had a big heart for all mankind."-The Covington Republican, Friday, October 16, 1931
