The Shadow
George Revercomb Hudnall, a lifelong resident of Covington, passed away July 4, 2010 after a lengthy illness.
He was the son of the late Dr. Harry Gilman and Elizabeth Revercomb Hudnall.
He was educated at Augusta Military Academy and the University of Virginia and was known throughout the mountains in which he had grown to be an avid outdoorsman and a man of exceptional integrity.
He had been a businessman, both self-employed and as a faithful employee, before his health required him to retire to a quieter life.
He loved southern history and was especially proud of his family’s Virginia heritage.
One grandfather, the Honorable George Anderson Revercomb, had been a Virginia state senator and a Virginia Supreme Court justice; and the other grandfather, Dr. Bertrand Ryland Hudnall, had been a beloved physician, as was his father.
He was proudest, however, of his two daughters, Anne Ryland Hudnall of Colorado Springs, Colo. and Alice Yulie Chapman Hudnall (Sally) of Smithfield who had been his loving caregiver in the final months of his life.
He is also survived by brothers Bertrand R. Hudnall of Charleston, S.C. and Harry Gilman Hudnall Jr. of Atlanta, Ga. and their families.
A memorial service will be held in Covington at a later date to be announced.
Memorial gifts may be made to Boys’ Home in Covington where the infirmary is named for the family.
