In the 1930's 40's and 50's Hudson was known for two things, the toll bridge and Charlie Ward.

A self made millionaire, Charles Ward began a hardscrabble life in Seattle, Wash. His early years were spent in Alaska territory and Mexico where he was part of Poncho Villa's army. Traveling across the country Ward made many acquaintances that served him well later in life.

His friendship with H.H. Bigelow got him in the door of the calendar manufacturer in St. Paul, Minn. where he eventually rose to the rank of president and general manager of Brown & Bigelow, a St. Paul firm that manufactures calendars and other promotional materials. The Wards entertained people from all over the country, one of the most famous being the cowboy star Gene Autry.
