Sketch of His Life
The following is a sketch of Colonel Hulbert's life:
Few Atlantans were more widely known or more universally admired and loved than he. Since the War Between the States, he has been a resident of Atlanta, and was ever found in the lead of those working for the advancement and betterment of the city. Not only was he widely known in the city, but there is not a city in the state and very few towns in which he was not well acquainted.
But, when Colonel Hulbert became superintendent of the company some years ago, he passed the greater part of his time in Atlanta mingling daily with those who had learned to admire and love him.
Colonel Hulbert was a native of Connecticut, but came south when he was quite a young man, and within a short time began his service with the Express Company, where he remained throughout his entire life except for the four years he passed in the Confederate Army. When the War Between the States began, Colonel Hulbert was running messenger into West Point on the Atlanta and West Point Railroad. The West Point Guards was one of the crack military companies of the state before the war, and when Georgia cast her lot with the seceded states, the West Point Company tendered its services. Colonel Hulbert was then a corporal in the guards, and within a short time that company found itself in the Fourth Georgia Regiment, which was attached to the Doles-Cook Brigade, one of the first bodies of Georgia Troops to go to the front in Virginia. Colonel Hulbert proved one of the best and most fearless soldiers in his command, and promotions came to him rapidly. He took part in the seven days fight about Richmond, and of his conduct in those engagements, General Doles afterwards spoke in the most complimentary terms.
He Was Captured.
He was captured at Spotsylvania, Va., while in command of Confederate Sharpshooters, and was imprisoned on Morris Island. While he was confined there, he was among 600 Confederate Officers who were placed in front of the Federal Troops to receive the fire from advancing Confederate Gunboats. Subsequently, in 1864, he was paroled and afterwards exchanged.
After the war, Colonel Hulbert returned to Georgia and took up his work with the Express Company. He occupied every position in the company's service, from messenger to superintendent. For a long time, he was agent for the company in Atlanta, and was promoted from that position to assistant superintendent, and subsequently was made superintendent of the southern territory. Some three years ago, he was retired with full salary by a unanimous vote from the board of directors because of his long, faithful and efficient service.
A Prominent Veteran.
Colonel Hulbert was a charter member of Atlanta Camp 159, United Confederate Veterans. That, the oldest camp in Atlanta, was organized when President Davis came to Atlanta to the unveiling of the Hill monument, and at that time was known as the Fulton County Confederate Veterans Association. He took a great pride in the veteran organization, and never missed a state convention or a convention of the United Confederate Veterans except the last one, and that as because of ill health. He was Lieutenant Colonel of General Evans' Staff, and was Chief of Staff and Adjutant to General J.O. Waddell. At the last annual meeting of the State Veterans Association in Columbus, Colonel Hulbert was too indisposed to attend, and resolutions expressing sympathy for the state organization were adopted.
Colonel Hulbert's home life was happy and ideal. He is survived by his wife, but there are no children.
