MARK HULBURT

     was born in Whiteside county, Ill., October 18, 1847, his parents being J.
F. and Eliza Jane Hulburt, natives respectively of Vermont and Illinois. The
father became an early settler in the Prairie state, and though a miller by
trade he engaged as a farmer there until 1853, when, with ox and cow teams and
the family carriage, be brought his wife and six children across the plains. The
journey occupied six months, and at its close they settled in Linn county, Ore.,
taking up a donation land claim located six miles southeast of Albany. Until his
death, in 1872, he engaged in improving and cultivating the broad acres, which
meant a prosperous and pleasant home for himself and family. The death of his
wife had occurred ten years earlier. They were the parents of twelve children,
all of whom attained maturity. Named in order of birth they are as follows :
Harriet Jane, now Mrs. Maple, who makes her home in Pendleton ; Loving, who
became Mrs. Brewer, and was accidentally killed by explosion in 1902 ; Mark, of
this review ;.Harlan, in the real estate business in Albany ; Alice M., now Mrs.
Turner, of Pendleton ; Florence, now Mrs. Dow, of Linn county ; Ida, Mrs.
Cullon, also of Linn county ; Austin and Alden, twins ; Wallace, Warren and
Frank, the five last named being farmers in Linn county. 
     When twenty-one years of age Mark Hulburt left home and put in practice the
splendid training which he had received from his father, on the home farm,
becoming then a stock dealer, buying and shipping stock. In 1870 he went to
eastern Oregon and engaged in the stock business in that locality, establishing
a ranch on Hay creek, Wasco county, where he raised cattle and horses for ten
years, shipping them to all parts of the country. At the end of that time he
returned to the Willamette valley, and became the owner of the property upon
which he now carries on the same business. In 1893 he removed to the city of
Albany, from which location he superintends the work of his ranch.
     The marriage of Mr. Hulburt occurred in Linn county, Miss Sarah J. Turner
becoming his wife. She was born in Missouri and came to Oregon with her parents.
The one son of their union is Riley E., who is one of the, successful business
men of Albany, being engaged in a hardware establishment in that location. In
his political convictions Mr. Hulburt casts his vote with the Republican party.
