He married Hazel Martyn of Chicago on December 28th, 1903. Trudeau contracted pneumonia in mid-April of 1904 and was recovering from it when an embolism resulted in his death on May 3, 1904. A daughter, Alice Livingston Trudeau, was born November 10th, 1904, at Chicago. After Ned's death, Hazel married the world renowned Irish Painter, Sir John Lavery, who used her as a model for some four hundred paintings, including one that was used on Irish banknotes from 1928 until 1975.
