This is the obit of Warren Moses Hulbert, the paternal 2nd great
grandfather of Olin Clayton of Raymond.

                        "FREE-PRESS GAZETTE"
     On January 1, Warren Moses Hulbert, aged 82 years, 7 months and
sixteen days.
     With the beginning of the new year, another of our aged and
respected citizens passed from earth to that great beyond, in the person
of Warren M. Hulbert. Residing south of the city limits, after a short
illness. After the deceased had taken a light breakfast, his son Warren,
with whom he had been making his home, after ascertaining that he was
feeling some better, brought the milk to the creamery and before he
reached home his father had expired. He had a severe cold, which settled
on his lungs. On the morning of his death he felt some easier and it was
not thought that he was in any immediate danger. The deceased was a
reserved and inoffensive old gentleman, highly respected by all his
acquaintances.
     He was born in Somers, Toland County, Connecticut, and came to
Illinois first settling near Pittsfield, Pike County, in 1859 and four
years later moved to this vicinity, first settling on what is known as
the Travis farm, and shortly afterwards on the tract of land just south
of the city limits, on which he lived until his death, making his home
of late years with his son Warren. He was first married to Miss Cenith
Tooley in Massachusetts. To this union was born one daughter, Miss
Elvira Lohr, now a resident of Campbell, Texas. This union was only of
short duration, the mother dying eighteen months after the marriage. He
afterwards married Miss Laura Tooley, a sister of his first wife, in New
York. This union was blessed with one son, E.M. Hulbert, at one time
publisher of the FREE-PRESS GAZETTE, now publisher of the Lancaster
Texas Herald. After ten years of married life with his second wife, she
was also called to that great beyond. His third marriage, this time with
Miss Lizzie Wilson, was blessed with three children, one son dying in
infancy, and two daughters, Miss Jennie, a resident of Alton, and Miss
Hattie Stanley, the latter preceding him in death a few years ago. After
the death of his third wife, he married Miss Martha Traylor, who blessed
him with two children, one daughter who died in infancy, and Warren F.,
with whom he spent his declining years. His last consort preceded him in
death a little over one year ago.
     The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Baptist
Church conducted by the pastor, Rev. Knowlton. Interment in Prospect
Hill Cemetery.
