The obituary of William George Dudley was published by "The Easton Gazette", on Saturday, April 15, 1893.

William George Dudley, age 46, passed away on April 12, 1893 in Easton, Talbot County, Maryland, USA. He was born in 1847 at Easton to George William and Hannah "Mackey" Dudley. He married Isabelle "Belle" Fleming in 1875 at St. Peters Parish, Talbot County. They had two sons, George Nabb Dudley, 1876-1963 , born in Baltimore and Audley Fleming Dudley, 1877-1916, born in Easton, Maryland. William and Hannah were married for only twelve years and then she passed away on November 19, 1887. He later married Dora Jeffries Pippin on July 9, 1890 and they were only married for three years before he passed on.

William's grandfather was Pvt. James Dudley who fought in the Revolutionary War. William's father George fought in the war of 1812-14. William fought in the Civil War.

In the February 1953 "Hobbies Magazine" there was an article written by Jim Walsh about William's sons George and Audley, who became musicians and recorded records for Columbia and RCA Record Companies. They were known as the Ossman-Dudley Trio and they recorded with Vess Ossman, who was known as the banjo king. George Nabb Dudley's wife, Florence Mae "Taylor" Dudley provided Mr. Walsh with a lot of the information in this article. The following is a quote from the magazine regarding the history of the Dudley family in Talbot County, Maryland.

"George N. was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and Audley F. was born on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Their grandmother had her plantation on the Eastern Shore. Their grandfather was a member of the House of Representatives. Colonel Tilghlman, of the Eastern Shore, wrote two volumes of "The History of Talbot County", which mentions the Dudleys. He knew my husband's father, who was a trainer of racing and pacing horses and drove a high-wheeled sulky. He built a half-mile race track on the old estate. George's father had a stock farm and owned an offspring of the famous race horse, 'Hannibal."

William George Dudley is buried in the historic Spring Hill Cemetery, the Methodist-Episcopal Cemetery (section 272) and was interred on April 12, 1893.
