Doctor E. H. Dudley was born in Rutland, Wisconsin, May 12, 1848. He is a son of S. E. and Cynthia (Chapin) Dudley, who were early settlers of Dane county, Wisconsin. Young Dudley received a classical education at Evansville Seminary, Evansville, Wisconsin, graduating from there in the year of 1868. In April of 1864, at only sixteen years of age, he enlisted from the Seminary into Company C, 49th Wisconsin Infantry, and served as a non-commissioned officer until the close of the war, after which he remained on provost duty until November of 1865, when he was honorably discharged at St. Louis, Missouri. Upon receiving his dismissal from the President, he returned to the seminary, and, as we have said before, graduated in 1868.

Soon after leaving school he began the study of medicine, and afterwards entered Rush Medical College, Chicago, where he graduated during the winter of 1874-5. Between his courses he practiced medicine at Broadhead, Wisconsin, with Doctor Boughton, a former preceptor. In 1875 he located at Shell Rock, Butler county, Iowa, where he has since been practicing; he now enjoys a large and well earned patronage. He is one of the charter members of the Butler county Medical Association, and is now president of that society. He is also a member of the State and American Medical Association, and December 1, 1880, he was appointed United States Medical Examiner for pension. He was married in 1869 to Miss Mary Austin. They have four children – Samuel O., Edward Henry, David Austin, and Jennie Chapin.
