Hulburt of No. 49 Maple street, Christmas day this year will contain something more than the usual simmificance of the Yuletide holiday since it marks their golden wedding anniversary. Fifty years ago on that day they were quiet- ly married at the Congregational par- sonage at Somers, Tolland county, by Rev. Dr. Vail, and next Monday they will quietly observe the happy anni- versary with a small family party and dinner in their Maple street home. All But Two Years Here. For all but two years of their mar- ried life they have resided in this city, where for various periods Mr. Hulburt has been in the grocery business, livery and sale stable business, and lastly, for cleven years, in the hack busines: from which he retired five vears ag Constantly in the public eve from the nature of his occupation in the latter vears of his active life, he is widely and favorably kngwn among the cit- izens of Norwiclh, who will unite in wishing for him and hi estimable wife many more anniversaries beyond their golden wedding day. From Telland County. Mr, Hulburt was born in Somers, Tolland county, August 8, 1839, the son of Henry H. Hulburt and Emeline Fields, and his wife was also a native of Tolland, her maiden name being Caroline M. Kibbe. She was born in 1834, the daughter of Alvin Kibbe and Hannah Aborn., desecnding from an old Tolland county faimly. Just pre- ceding her marriage she had been teaching schcol for several years in different districts in Tolland and Ell- ington. Started in Young. Mr. Hulpurt made his first start in the workaday world as a farmer's boy, getting $4 & month and his board, but his ambition for something better led him to embark as a tin peddler when he reached the age of 17, buying a wazon and stock at Hazardville and setting ovt as oue of the genuine old Yankee peddlers who are a part of New England history. He lived in | | Somers and covered a route that took him down through Tolland, Windham 2nd New London countjes, through Norwich and as far east as Mystic | znd as for west af Lyme. It took him about four weeks to make the round trip and in 1863 he removed from Somers to Norwich to live. This wi in war times and profits for the wide- awake peddler were big then. Three times he was drafted for service at ‘he front, but a physical disability in- capacitated him from service. This was shown through the physician's examination the first time he w Jdrafted, but as his name stayed on the lists, he was drafted twice more, only to be rejected upon examination. Local Grocer. In 1868 Mr. Hulburt went into the arocery Dbusiness on the West Side with the late Senator Alonzo R. Aborn, who was a cousin of Mrs. + Hulburt. They were in partnership for seven vears, when he sold out to Mr, Aborn und opened a store for himself on Cen- tral wharf, also having a livery and sale stable, and being engaged in the sale of horses for about five years. In 1884 he sold out his livery stable busi- ness to the late Frank A. Foster, who kept it only a vear, when Mr. Hulburt purchased it back. He continued in active business life as a hackman until five years ago, when he retired. Councilman and Street Commissioner. Mr. Hulburt was a member of the Norwich common council from 1884 to 1885 and street commissioner of the city at the same time. He is a 32d de- gree Mason, having been ralsed in Somerset lodge, No. 34, F. and A. M., in 1879. Their two sons, Charles Hulburt of Brookiyn, N, Y. and Clarence K. Hulburt of New York, who are the sur- viving members of a family of five, will be with thelr parents for the golden wedding. Mr. Hulburt has two sisters living, Mrs. Emma J. Cadv, Rockville, and Mrs. Elizabeth Humes, Hazard- ville. Mrs. Hplburt has one brother, Norris Kibbe of Ellington, and a =i ter, Mrs. Julia A. Pease of this city MANY FOX BOUNTIES HAVE BEEN PAID.
