DR.. .HULBURD DIES;
HOME CITY MOURNS
Highly Respected Physician Sue
cumbs After Seven Weeks
Heroic Fight

Dr. II. L. Hulburd, a pioneer re-
sident of Stevens county and for thir-
ty-eight years practicing physician
of this city, died at his home in Nor
ris early last Saturday after seven
weeks heroic fight for his life fol-
lowing an infection of finger result
ing in blood poison. Realizing there
was no hope of cure he became re-
conciled to his fate three weeks ago
and calmly faced the end, discussing
home matters with members of his
family in a. manner which betokened
Christian fortitude and that death had
been robbed of it's terrors. Conscious
to the last moment and partaking of
nourishment as the grim summons
came, DR.. Hulburd sank back into his
pillows and waved fond farewell to
those about him, and he was no
more. The news of his death cast
gloom over the whole city.
DR.. Hulburd was born in Law
renceville, New York, Sept. 1,
1851. After graduating from the
public schools with high honors and
later took up medical studies, fin
ishing his education at Oberlin Col
lege. Then he entered Long Island
College hospital at Brooklyn and
practiced as an inferno. He was mar
ried at Iawrenceville and after leav-
ing Brooklyn came west in hopes of
improving his health and to select a
field. He located at Prescott, Wis,
where he remained two years after
which he came to Minneapolis and
later to Morris, arriving here soon af-
ter the first of the year in 1878. On
the 18th of March that year he be-
came member of the Morris lodge
A. 0. u. w. and was the last survi-
wing charter member at the time of
his death. He was member Of the
Masonic and Macabee lodges. - -
/ DIR. Hulburd had many friends
everywhere in Stevens county. Dur
ing his entire residence here his pub
lie and private life was an inspiration
to his friends and Rev. Robertson de-
scribed him 6ttingly in the funeral
sermon by referring to him as a manly
man. In the years of adversity which
struck Stevens county soon after the
arrival of DIR. Hulburd no call for
help ever came to him to which he
did not repsond. He was painstak
ing and liberal with his services and
gave freely to charity. Those who
know him best say his benevolences
will never be known. He has always
been busy man and continued his
activities till the day when Illness
confined him to his home. He is
survived by Mrs. Hulburd of this
city, and one daughter, Miss Cora, of
Grand Forks, N. D.
In lis chosen profession DR.. HUI
burd ever conscientiously kept abreast
of the times, making special study
of the use of the X-ray. For his re-
cognized knowledge in this line he
was recently offered the X-ray work
in the large hospital conducted by
DR.. Thorpe at Los Angeles, Cal.
The funeral was held Monday after
noon from the home, in accordance
with the wishes of the deceased. The
casket rested in a massive bank of
flowers which DIR. Hulburd loved so
we'll, and which were the loving tri-
butes of friends from everywhere.
Rev. E. P. Robertson, president of
Wesley college at Grand Forks. and
a former Methodist pastor in this
city, personal friend of the de-
ceased, delivered the funeral address
in which he paid eloquent tribute to
the memory of one of the best loved
and most highly respected citizens of
Morris. Reverends Stever and Rich
