LOUIS H. HULICK

was born in Indiana in 1845, where he grew to manhood and received his early 
educational training. In the state of Iowa he was joined in the bands of matrimony
to Miss Margaret A. Gable, a native of Washington county that state. In 1864 they 
crossed the plains with ox teams, completing the perilous and arduous journey in 
good time. 
After the close of this unique pilgrimage they came to a halt in the Grande Ronde 
valley and there took up the related occupations of stock raising and farming, 
prosecuting the same with vigor that brought success. They removed to Big Creek
in Baker county, where Mr. Hulick died, and then later went to the lower Powder 
river valley and settled on a quarter section, obtaining title thereto by 
purchase, and for twenty years this place has been the family home. In December, 
1870, Mr. Hulick, after a faithful life of industry and enterprise, was called 
to depart from the scenes of this earth and enter upon the realities of another 
world. He left to mourn his sad demise a widow and the following children: George
W.; John D.; Harriet J.; Tunis died in 1898 at the age of thirty-one years; 
Franklin S.; Della A.; L. Edgar, and Willard. Mrs. Hulick has assumed the cares 
and responsibilities of directing the estate and is in a commendable manner 
discharging all the duties incumbent upon her in this trying position, while she
is rounding out a well spent and bright life of faithful service and manifestation
of noble and upright principles.
