EDWARD S. HURLBUT. This gentleman is numbered among the business men of 
Joliet, having, in 1889, taken charge of the business formerly owned by Mrs. 
S. F. Savage. He is not a stranger to the citizens of this place, as he has 
for some time made this his home and been identified in some capacity with its 
business interests. He is a young gentleman of intelligence, upright 
character, and the manners of a well-bred gentleman, while his business 
abilities are such as to give promise of success in the line which he has 
adopted. In Rutland County, Vt., David and Mehitable (Fuller) Hurlbut were 
married, the former a native of Vermont and the latter of Connecticut. They 
afterward made a home in the Empire State, where Mr. Hurlbut died July 7, 
1859. He was a cooper by occupation and a man who was respected as an honest 
and upright citizen. His family consisted of four children, but two of whom 
are yet living. These are Mary E. and Edward S., both of whom reside in 
Joliet. A son, B. F., belonged to Company B, One Hundred and Twelfth New York 
Infantry, and gave his life in defense of the Union, receiving his death wound 
at the battle of Cold Harbor, June 1, 1864; a daughter Kate, the wife of Henry 
C. Morse, of Corry, Pa., died in October, 1876. The mother breathed her last 
in Joliet, February 1, 1878, while on a visit to her sister, Mrs. S. F. 
Savage. The subject of this brief biographical notice was born in Chautauqua 
County, N. Y., March 25, 1851. He received a good education, and at the age of 
seventeen years started out in his career as a clerk in a dry-goods store in 
Jamestown. There he remained about two years, after which he went on the farm 
for a while. In 1871 he came to Joliet, where for about a year he acted as a 
clerk for his aunt. He then returned to his native State only to again come to 
Joliet, where in about a year he was again to be found in the employ of Mrs. 
Savage. He continued to work for her until 1889, when he assumed the control 
of the business. Mr. Hurlbut is a member of the Republican party and a 
pronounced prohibitionist in sentiment.
