He then located at Rocky Ford, Colorado, where he opened an office and began practice, continuing at that place until the 1st of January, 1889, when he removed to Colorado Springs, where he has since remained. In the intervening years, covering almost three decades, he has continuously devoted his attention to law practice and his pronounced ability has gained for him a good clientage and made him very successful in the conduct of the cases entrusted to his care.
On the 6th of February, 1889, in Illinois, Mr. Dudley was united in marriage to Miss Fannie M. Holroyd and to them have been born two daughters and a son, Marjorie, Donald A. and Dorothea A. The son was graduated in 1917 from Colorado College and is now with the United States army as a member of the Three Hundred and Fourteenth Engineers. The family attend the Unitarian church.
Mr. Dudley gives his political support to the Republican Party and is thoroughly informed concerning the vital questions and issues of the day but has never been ambitious to hold office. In Masonry he has attained high rank, having taken the degrees of the York and Scottish Rites, while with the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine he has crossed the sands of the desert. He is widely and favorably known at Colorado Springs, where he has now lived for twenty-nine years, the circle of his friends increasing as the circle of his acquaintance has broadened. Those with whom he has come in contact speak of him in terms of high regard and he enjoys the goodwill and confidence of his professional colleagues and contemporaries
