Obituary Collection
Ernest Fredrick Hulen

Ernest Fredrick Hulen was born near Newbern, Iowa on May 13, 1875, and departed this life at Lamar, Colo., on November 9, 1926, age 51 years, 5 months and 27 days.

When a lad, eleven years of age he moved with his parents from the home at Newbern, Ia., to Moorefield, Nebr., at which place he has made his home, with the exception of a few years spent near Farnam.

He was united in marriage on March 17, 1897, to Miss Cora Cloyd. To this union three children were born, a son, Alvin of Moorefield, a daughter, Mrs. Dessa Warner of Gothenburg, and a baby girl who died in infancy. In 1921 the wife and mother was taken from them following a long illness.

On August 1, 1923, Mr. Hulen was united in marriage to Mrs. Emma Stephens. To this union one child was born, a daughter, Geraldine Lina.

Mr. Hulen was visiting at Lamar, Colorado when he was suddenly taken ill on Nov. 5 and was rushed to a hospital at that place where he died on Tuesday, Nov. 9.

He leaves in his immediate family his wife, son and two daughters, three brothers and four sisters, besides other relatives, and a host of friends and neighbors who will sadly miss him. His son Alvin was at his bed side when death came.

Mr. Hulen was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church of Farnam in the winter of 1913, and later transfered his membership to the Pleasant Home M. E. church in the country north of Curtis. He remained a member of this church until his death.

Funeral services were conducted at the home north of Moorefield, Friday November 12, by Rev. Geo. M. Seick, pastor of the Farnam M. E. church. Interment was made in the Farnam cemetery.

O’ why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
Like a swift fleeting meteor, a fast flying cloud,
A flash of the lightning, a freak of the wave.
Man passeth from life to his rest in the grave.

’Tis the wink of an eye, the draft of a breath.
From the blossom of health to the paleness of death,
From the gilded Saloon to the bier and the shroud,
O’ why should the spirit of mortal be proud?

—William Knox
