“Walter Henry Judd was born in a small town in Nebraska late in the year 1888 and died last week in a suburb of Washington, DC, at the age of 95. Born to a loving and religious family, Walter Judd was educated both as a physician and as a missionary in the Congregational Church. That church sent him as a medical missionary to China in 1925, where he served in a hospital far from the coast for some 5 years, finally driven home to the United States by the 46th attack of malaria which he caught on that mission. Even so, after only 2 years at home, he returned to China with a new wife and served as the superintendent of a hospital for another 5 years, succoring tens of thousands of Chinese refugees from the Japanese invasion. Driven out of China for the last time by the Japanese, he returned to the United States in the years immediately preceding World War II and devoted his entire fortune to a speaking tour through 46 States of the United States, speaking 1,400 times about the threat of isolationism and the aggression of the Japanese against the people of the Republic of China.”
