Graveside services for Dr. Charles Murray Rudulph, 79, of Niazuma Avenue, who died last night at a Birmingham hospital, were held today at Elmwood Cemetery. Rev. Donald Miller officiated.
Dr. Rudulph was the first physician to practice neuropsychiatry here. He was formerly a senior physician at Bryce Hospital in Tuscaloosa. He practiced in Birmingham from 1909 to 1949 when he retired.

Commissioned a captain in World War I, he served in a hospital in Ft. McPherson, Georgia and at Camp Gordon, Georgia where he was a neuro-psychiatrist. He was attached to the Overseas Convalescence Battalion and received his discharge in 1919.
He was awarded the Selective Service medal by President Truman at the end of World War II. The medical society presented him with a certificate of distinction for 50 years of service when he retired.
Dr. Rudulph was a member of St. Mary's-on-the-Highlands Episcopal Church and a former member of Birmingham Country Club, Kiwanis Club and Birmingham Anthropological Society.
