Alma pioneer Hulbert and family legacy in Gravot County
A fragmented obituary recounts the life of an early Alma settler, Herman Hulbert, who moved from Jones Ville Mich after marriage to Mary J. Leake. He built Alma’s first brick building, helped establish a grain business with partners, aided lumber camps, and financed a depot project before aging and passing at ninety, leaving a lasting civic and religious imprint in the Protestant Episcopal community. The piece notes his long residence, business ventures, and influence on local development, ending with an irrelevant promotional knife of Rocky Mountain Tea.
