Isaiah Hulse

As printed in 1906

SAIAH HULSE, deceased, was one of the leading men of Jackson township, proprietor of “Lick Run Stock Farm” — an estate of 600 acres, situated on the Dawson turnpike. He was born on the old Hulse homestead, not far from the present home of his widow in Jackson town- 1 ship, on October 15, 1850, and died February 19, 1898. He* was a son of Aristes and Lucinda (Alkire ) Hulse.

The parents of Mr. Hulse were born in Pickaway County and spent their whole lives here. They had four children, namely: Isaiah; Rebecca, wife of Eugene Halstead, of California; Mary, wife of James G. Hayes, of Pickaway County; and Ida L.

Isaiah Hulse remained on the home farm in Jackson township until he married and then removed to “Lick Run Stock Farm,” having previously erected the handsome brick residence now occupied by his widow and son. Mr. Hulse operated the farm as a stock farm, devoting his entire attention to the raising of fine horses and cattle, making a feature of the latter.

Mr. Hulse was married on January 8, 1895, to Martha Anderson, who was born in Wayne township, Pickaway County, Ohio, and is a daughter of James H. and Sarah (Fleming) Anderson, both natives of Wayne township. The father died on the farm in Wayne township on which he was born, but Mrs. Anderson resides in Columbus. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson had seven children, namely: Martha (Mrs. Isaiah Hulse); William, who married

Mary Holderman, daughter of Louis Holderman; Minerva, wife of James Swearingen, of Jackson township; Ida, wife of Thomas Woodrow, of Xenia, Ohio; Elizabeth S., wife of J. Sines, of Columbus; and Benjamin and Edward, who live with their mother in Columbus.

Mrs. Hulse has one son, Isaiah Smith, who was born July 19, 1896. Since the death of her husband, she has had the entire management of the farm and has shown great capacity as a business woman. A part of her land she rents and the rest she utilized in raising stock.

The late Isaiah Hulse was an excellent business man but he was much more. He was a kind and tender husband and father and a great over of home. It is remembered how fond he was of flowers-and never felt time wasted in their cultivation. He had many friends all over the county; all wished him well and borrowed when he died. Politically a Democrat, he held some minor offices, being too busy to accept more important ones. He was a good man in every sense of the word.
