Charles D. Judd is holding the position of vice president in the national organization of Yeomen of America. He was born in Sugar Grove township, Kane county, Illinois, October 11, 1851. Charles D. Judd is indebted to the public-school system of Kane county for the educational privileges accorded him. He was reared upon his father's farm, and the duties and labors that fall to the lot of the agriculturist early became familiar to him and constituted a part of his life work. Desirous, however, of following other pursuits than the work of the fields, he left home and entered the employ of the Pullman Sleeping Car Company, with which he was connected for two and a half years. On the expiration of that period he came to Aurora and was engaged in the lumber business under the firm style of A. T. Judd & Company for four years. He then retired from the firm and joined the force of employees of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company, which he represented in the operative department, being a conductor on the line for seventeen years. He proved a most courteous and capable official, always carefully looking after the interests of the patrons of the road and never neglecting the fidelity which he owed to the company which he represented. Upon his retirement he engaged in the grocery business for a short time and in June, 1898, he became one of the organizers of a fraternal insurance society known as the Yeomen of America, being associated in this with Charles E. Corlett, Charles M. Coates, William A. Colledge and Dr. Trichord. Mr. Judd was elected the vice president of the company and has continued in the position to the present time. The success of the organiza- tion ie attributable in no small degree to his methodical habits and his careful systemization of the duties that have devolved upon him in this connection. On the 15th of October, 1873, C. D. Judd was married to Miss Sarah J. McDole, a native of Sugar Grove township, and a daughter of Rodney McDole, now deceased. Her father was one of the best known of the early pioneers of this part of the state and his eldest son, A. Gordon McDole, was the first white child born in the county. Mr. and Mrs. Judd now have one daughter, Abbie. the wife of Frank LaSuer. Mr. Judd belongs to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Order of Railway Conductors, and other social and fraternal organizations. In matters of citizenship he is progressive, desiring the welfare and upbuilding of the community to the extent not only of endorsing public measures, but of cooperating in many movements for the general good.
