The roster of county officials of Apache County contains no 
name more worthy of respect that Dudley J. Hamblin, the County 
Treasurer. He is a native of Apache County, having been born at 
Springerville on the 5th of May 1880 and is a  son of Jacob and 
Sarah P. (Leavitt) Hamblin, the former of whom died on August 
20, 1886.  He was an extensive cattle man and later was engaged 
in mercantile affairs.  He was an early settler of this state 
and was a man of much force of character, having been successful 
in the early days in making peace with the Indians. 

Dudley J. Hamblin received his early education in the district 
school, after which he attended Apache Academy at Thatcher, Gila 
County, from which he was graduated in 1900. He then devoted his 
attention to farming and stock raising, which he has carried on 
to the present time.  In 1928 he was elected treasurer of Apache 
County and is the present incumbent of that position.

On October 3, 1906 he married Mae Butler of St. Johns and they 
have eight children: Ina Mae, who is training for a nurse; 
Clara, attending University in Provo, Utah, Amasa L.and Kathleen, 
who are in high school; J. Dudley who is in grade schools,
