HON. GEORGE B. HUDNALL. a prominent attorney of Superior and State senator for his district, is one of the substantial, self-made men of the State. He was born at Rural, Waupaca Co., Wis., Jan. 9, 1864, son of Roah M. and Susan (Dayton) Hudnall.

James H. Hudnall, his grandfather, was the son of English emigrants. He became a farmer and planter in Virginia, where his son, Roah M. [Hudnall], was born, in the town of Warrenton. Roah M. Hudnall came to Wisconsin in 1855, locating in Waupaca county, where he acquired a large tract of land. His nearest railroad station was Fond du Lac. He is still living on this old homestead, which he purchased as wild land. For some years he was interested in lumbering, and during the administration of President Cleveland (second term) he served as postmaster. With these few exceptions his entire time has been devoted to the clearing and improving of his land. Roah M. Hudnall married Susan Dayton, who was born in Attica, N.Y., daughter of Lyman Dayton, a native of Vermont, who for some years was a merchant at Attica, N. Y., but who in 1850, came to Waupaca county, Wis., where he purchased land in Dayton township which was named in his honor. When the Dayton family settled in Wisconsin their nearest post office was Berlin, thirty miles away, while their market was Milwaukee, one hundred and fifty miles distant,whence everything was drawn by team.

George B. Hudnall attended the district school, and after he attained the age of twelve years his summers were devoted to work on the home farm. He then attended the high school in Waupaca one winter. Farming was his chief occupation until he was twenty four years of age. For three terms he taught school, and then began the study of law under the able tuition of Judge Myron Reed, and later with his successor. Entering the Senior class of the Law Department of the University of Wisconsin, he was graduated in the class of 1891. The following year he practiced in Waupaca, but since Nov. 20, 1892, he has been in practice at Superior. He has attained a high place in the estimation of his fellow members at the bar, for his brilliant oratory and his wide reading. His integrity is above question, and he has made it a point never to accept a case where he could not conscientiously say his client was innocent.

In the fall of 1902 Mr. Hudnall was elected State senator on the Republican ticket. His nomination was made after a prolonged fight but his election was without opposition. He made a distinguished record in the Senate. He served on the Judiciary committee, the committee on Military Affairs, and was chairman of the Engrossing committee. Among the bills which he introduced was the famous Wisconsin Grain Inspection Bill, which attracted much attention the country over, but which was defeated by one vote in the Senate. His speech in support of this measure was highly commended by the press, irrespective of party.

On Jan. 25, 1893, Hudnall was married to Miss Sophia Wallace, daughter of William and Mary (Jones) Wallace, of Iola, Wis., and they have one child, Marjorie. Mr. and Mrs. Hudnall are members of the First Presbyterian Church, and he is president of the board of trustees. Fraternally he is a Knight Templar Mason and a member of the K. P.

George Hudnall, Former Senator, Is Dead At 72

Milwaukee (AP) - George B. Hudnall, 72-year-old Milwaukee lawyer and former state senator from Douglas county, died at his home today. Born on a farm near Waupaca, he attended the University of Wisconsin Law school and began his practice at Superior. After serving as city attorney for two years, he was elected to the senate in 1902 and was re-elected three times. Later he served as executive counsel to the late Gov. Emanuel L. Philipp. He came to Milwaukee in 1917.

With former State Senator W H. Hatten, Hudnall drafted the first railroad rate law in Wisconsin, a measure which laid the foundation for the State Public Service Commission.

He represented Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox baseball team, in a trial before Judge John J. Gregory here in 1822 involving a suit for back wages against Comiskey and the club by several players dismissed as a result of the "Black Sox" world series scandal.
