JOHN W. HULBERT, a well-known citizen and veteran soldier of Muscoda, Grant county, occupies a well-cultivated farm on section 11, and is one of the representative men of this community. He is a native of New York, having been born in the Empire State Oct. 6, 1836, son of Ansel and Grisselle HULBERT, the former of whom was a native of Vermont, and the latter of Scotch parentage, and both were sturdy, honest people, good types of the best pioneers, who have made the "wilderness blossom like the rose." In 1850 the family migrated from New York to Wisconsin, settling at Stoughton, Dane county, but afterward removed to Indiana, and finally settled again in Wisconsin, the father dying in 1899, in Richland county, Wis., at the great age of ninety-eight. The mother died many years prior to her husband's death, in Canada, where the family were then residing. They had three children: John W., the subject of this sketch; Ansel, residing in Richland county; and a daughter, who now resides at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

John W. HULBERT enlisted in 1862 in Company C, 87th Ind. V.I., and served in his regiment in the Army of the Cumberland, taking part in some of the most important battles and campaigns of the war, including Perryville, Munfordville, Stone River, etc. After about a year of service Mr. HULBERT was honorably discharged on account of disability, and has never regained his health. Like so many of his comrades-in-arms, he sacrificed his physical well-being for his country, and can not receive too high praise for the years he has patiently endured the suffering thus entailed.

Soon after his return from the army Mr. HULBERT was married to Miss Rosana FULLER, who was born in Ohio, a daughter of Curtis and Betsy FULLER. Of the eight children born of this union, two died in infancy; the others, two sons and four daughters, are as follows: Grant, Elsie, Charles, Maud, Edith and Nina. Mr. HULBERT is a member of the G.A.R. post at Muscoda, and in politics is a Republican. Both Mr. and Mrs. HULBERT are hospitable people, and enjoy the friendship of a large circle of friends. They are numbered among the representative people of Muscoda, and are worthy of the highest esteem.
