**********************************************************************

Edmund Hulse, one of the many enterprising and successful citizens of
Laclede county, Mo., was born September 12, 1848, and is the son of 
John E. and Mary (Wild) Hulse, natives of England.  The Hulses were 
for several generations back railroad engineers, and the grandfather of
Edmund Hulse went to France as an engineer.  He was for many years a 
locomotive engineer, and John E. Hulse was also an engineer for twenty-
eight years.  He came to this country in 1851, landing in New York, and 
from there went to Milwaukee, Wis.  He afterward returned to England 
and mounted his same old engine, and in 1866 he came back to America.
He remained in Fond du Lac, Wis., for three years, and then came to
Laclede county in 1869, locating on a farm, where he remained until
1872, and has been farming ever since.  He was the father of seven
children, five of whom are now living: Edmund, John, Albert, William,
and Adelaide, wife of William Nyberg.  Two children died in infancy.
Edmund Hulse was eighteen years of age when he came back to Wisconsin,
and in 1872 went to Chicago, where he worked as a machinist until 1880
when he came to Laclede county.  He has a good farm in this county, 
and is doing well.  He was first married in 1873 to Miss Margaret 
Wilder, who was the widow of Hiram L. Wilder, of Chicago.  She was born
near the last named city, and by her union with Mr. Wilder became the
mother of three children.  She also had three children by Mr. Hulse, 
two of whom died.  Mary is the only one living.  Mr. Hulse took for his
second wife Miss Ella E. Wilder, by whom he has five children: Jennie,
Edith, Edmund, John and Margaret.  Mr. Hulse is a rather prominent man
in politics, and affiliates with the Union Labor party.  He is a member
of the Masonic fraternity at Lebanon; is a member of the A. O. U. W.,
and he and wife are members of the Methodist Protestant Church.
