MRS. HULBURD LAID
TO REST SATURDAY
Noble Life Ended After Many Years
Of Service Among Friends
Here

HulDurd, another or the early piOn-
GERS Of this county has been removed
and her going casts shadow of
| gloom over the entire community
Like her husband, Dr. III. L. Hulburd
who died in May 1916, she was al
ways looking. for a chance to do good
and be of help to some one, and dur
ing the early pioneer days her home
was always open to the suffering or
needy person and she was always
ready to answer the call for help
from those who needed it and gave
freely of her money and time to those
in distress.
For several years Mrs. Hulburd
has not been well and has been
semi-invalid during much of that
time but during all her suffering she
was never heard to complain or find
fault with her condition. Since the
death of her husband two years ago
she has inwardly mourned his loss
more than her friends knew and she
seemed anxious to join him, feeling
that her life here had been well
spent and that her usefulness had
come to an end.
On February first of this year Mrs.
Hulburd and her daughter, Miss Cora,
| went to Phoenix, Arizona, hoping
that the change in climate would be
| beneficial to her health, and without
a doubt this prolonged her life for
three months While in Arizona
they made their home with Supt.
and Mrs. j. B. Brown, formerly of
Norris and at one time at the head
of the Indian School here.
Mrs. Hulburd's life was entirely
wrapped up in her home and her one
ambition was to make her loved ones
comfortable and happy. The home
as she left it shows just how much
she strived to make it beautiful
place to live in. Every room contains
pictures and pieces of china which
she painted herself, besides collec-
tions of articles which she accumul-
ated during her life.
Mrs. Hulburd was one of the chart
er members of the Morris Congrega-
tional church and had been fer
vent, Christian women all her life. 1t
can truly be said of her that she was
firm for the Kingdom of God and He,
in His infinite wisdom has called her
home to wait the years out till at
last she can welcome to her side
again those left behind to mourn her
departure Her life was gentle, help
full and honorable and its memory is
refreshing to her friends and loved
ones.
i Margaret Casey was born in Can
4 ton, N. Y, and during her girlhood
days she met III. L. Hulburd, who
later became her husband. After
! their marriage they lived at Brook
i lyn, N. Y, for a year, where DR..
Hulburd was an interne in hospit-
al. They then came west and lived
at Prescott, Wis, for two years and
then came to Minneapolis and later
1 to Morris, settling here in 1873. Mrs.
