A great many private carriages and vehicles were also in attendance. Many Elks and Montana pioneers were present.

The pall hearers were A. P. Curt in, Reinhold H. Klenifiehinldt, F. K. Turner, A. J. Davisson, John W. Comman and J. B. Lockwood. O. C. Dallas and R. L. Reed were honorary pall bearers.

Sketch of Her Life
Mrs. Hudnall was born Sept. 12, 1858, on a farm In Henry county, Illinois, near Gencsco, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. Arnett. In 1881 she came to Montana to visit her uncle, Henry Sieben, returning to her home in Illinois the following spring, where she was united In marriage to William H, Hudnall, a prominent Helena druggist and a Montana pioneer. In the fall of 1882 she returned to Helena with Mr. Hudnall and lived here up to the time of her last illness.

Jan. 8, 1905, Mr. Hudnall died, after a long Illness. At the time of his death he was state examiner, having served in that position nearly four years. During his long residence in Montana he made a host of friends and was well known from one end of the state to the other as "Buck," his wide popularity having been earned by his ever willing readiness to assist a friend and by his sunny, warm-hearted disposition.

Slowly Grows Worse
The death of her husband affected Mrs. Hudnall's health and last January she went back to Illinois, hoping that the change would benefit her. Despite the best of care she slowly grew worse and the efforts of skilled specialist who were called In from Chicago were of no avail. Mrs. Hudnall dying May 29.

The funeral services at Gencsco were very largely attended, the Arnett and Sieben families being among the most prominent and wealthy in that part of Illinois. The services were conducted by the Rev. W. H. Witter, of Cambridge, Ill., the clergyman who officiated at the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Hudnall.

Met by Elks
The remains were brought to Helena by Alfred Hampton, who was on his way home from Washington when informed of Mrs. Hudnall's death. Saturday evening when the train arrived, Mrs. Hudnall was met by many Elks and their wives at the depot. The Elks took charge of the body, escorted it to the residence and remained on duty all night.

Besides her father, a wealthy retired farmer of Genesco, Mrs. Hudnall is survived by a daughter, Miss Inez Hudnall, of this city, and a brother, Frank Arnett of Culbertson, Mont.
