THEODORE HUDNUT, proprietor of the Favorite City Mills, of Mount Vernon,
Ind., was born in Washington, Mason Co., Ky., July 15, 1820, son of 
Joseph and Catharine (Dalton) Hudnut, natives of Kentucky and Virginia,
respectively.  Our subject left the parental roof in his twelfth year,
and learned the carpenter's trade which he followed in Kentucky, Ohio
and Indiana about fifteen years.  He then engaged in the milling business
in Johnson County, Ind., remaining there until 1860.  In 1861, at the
breaking out of the Rebellion, he enlisted in Company H, Nineteenth
Indiana Volunteers, as first lieutenant under Col. Meredith, and served
about six months.  He then resigned and went to Indianapolis and built a
hominy-mill, operating it about four years.  He then engaged in a similar
business in Mattoon, Ill., and in 1866 moved to Terre Haute, Ind., where
he has been engaged in the hominy-mill business ever since.  He conducts
his business on an extensive scale, and has met with good success.  In
1877 he established his present hominy-mill in Mount Vernon, and has
operated it successfully ever since.  Mr. Hudnut was first married in
Madison City, Ind.  His wife died in Johnson County, having borne him
five children - a son and a daughter now living.  He married his present
wife in Indianapolis.  He is a Republican in politics, and he and his
wife are members of the Christian Church.  Although not a resident proper
of Posey County, he is considered by all an enterprising business man
of the place.
