By the time of his death, he had purchased considerable property and held the distinction of being the first African American to both build and own a home in Chicago. On the night of the Great Fire, Hudlun helped his wife tend to the needy and then rushed to the Chicago Board of Trade where he worked throughout his life. At great risk to himself, Hudlun saved many of the institution's valuable documents and was hailed as a hero by the institution.https://findingchi.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/rush-medical.jpgRush MedicalRuins of Rush Medical Center after the fire.https://findingchi.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/anne.jpgAnneHudlun's kindness, nurturing, and generous contribution to the social welfare of the African American community were well known, and those who knew her affectionately called her "Mother Hudlun."
