See Clement Hulbert notes #263 and letter to Wesley in Frank Hulbert file.
"Wesley Hulbert,
Your brother, Frank Hulbert, was brought to the hospital from Fred Fishers Camp Dec. 29, (1893) and died Jan. 8, 1894.  A log rolled on him, breaking his back, fracturing his skull and also causing an injury in his stomach.  He was out of his head when he came and was conscience at any time (?)  
He had been living all summer with an old man named J.V. Davidson, at Bark Bay, Bayfield, Wisconsin.  This old man is on a homestead,  he was here before your brother died and said all of his clothes were with him when you brother came.  He had with him simply the clothing whiche he was then wearing.  I sent these to you by express today.  He hadn't any money at all, he had a hospital ticket which entitled him to treatment while in the hospital.  As far as the watch and papers you speak of you will probably secure them by sending to this old man.   Mrs. W. T. Rinehart, Ashland, Wisconsin"

HISTORY:
Old letter addressed to Mr. W. Hulbert (Wesley), Cicero, Defiance Co., Ohio from Grand Rapids, Michigan  24 Sept 1894...from Rillia (Florilla Hulbert Jennings).
Letter head...Jennings & Smith, Grand Rapids...Sept. 24, 1894...Grand Rapids, Michigan.

   My dear Brother, Your welcome letter was received.  But, I thought you were coming back when you went away. I feel real disappointed.  Will says you were gaining ground all the time and he says your customers are inquiring after you for goods. He said he offered you rent this winter if you would come.  Well I tell you, do as you like and then you will be satisfied but I don't think you want to farm. Will says he wasn't tired of you, said he made better time when you were with him than now.  Frank has had typhoid fever and is just getting up around the house.  Charley Taylor and wife were here all day Saturday.  He goes back to Kankakee this morning.  Aunt Lucy and Jackson were here last Monday and Tuesday.  Hattie and Rittie had a very pleasant time staying with Grandma.  I haven't seen her yet.  Aunt Lucy says she will keep her just as long as she can. Well, the summer resorts are closed up but the theaters are running full blast at all three houses. Will says Jason may have to move that barn back if he moves it off. He says he has no business to move off that barn.  Of course, the house don't stand on Ma's place but as long as will has a mortgage on the place he has no right to remove anything.    What makes you try to farm if you can't have what is right. It is now half past seven and Hattie and I are going down town. She has to have a pair of
shoes before she goes to school.  I hope to hear from you soon.  We all join in sending love to you all.  Rillia"

SKETCH ON LIFE
My Note:Eleanor Law Johnson's thoughts about Grandma Law:  
She was a wonderful Grandmother to me and always loved me and showed the greatest love and respect for children.  I remember her sweet dieposition and her kindness to me when I dropped a piece of her fabulous custard pie.  She handed me the plate with the pie on it and I then tryed to sit on a stool that was too high for me and off slid the pie onto the floor.  I began to cry.   She didn't get upset with me  but she comforted me and gave me another piece of  pie that was even a bigger piece. I remember that as if it were yesterday.  
        She was a woman of God, read the Bible every day, went to her church (Christian Scientist faith), observed the Sabbath and lead a life in Christ in following his example.  She lived in a second story apartment at Meta Street in Ventura....My Dad said she lived at Meta and Thomsen..I remember that later on she was  living in  another home, on a ground level, near shopping and one of main streets in Ventura.  She has had a great impact on my life in her righteous example and kindness to me.  I esteem her greatly as a precious part of my past. (1999)

TOBLER INTERVIEW                    
Interview with Beverly Tobler 1999
Grandma Law....to keep warm or to keep legs from swelling, she would wrap them.  When I visited her, she always liked to make creamed tuna.
Orpha lived with grandma after Bill died.
In 1937 Dad got a new Ford...would pack up pots and pans and sell them...they'd put them in suit cases.
Modesto....Turlock farm....went to see Bill and Orpha.  They paid no attention to Bev just to the twins.
Dad & Mom had home parties and they'd cook dinners and sell Silver Seal pans (later Guardian pans).
Dad was really close to his mother...
Old truck had windows...Brown, lined w/ cork so meat would stay cool.  No window, plexa glass and he'd take us in that over to see grandma on the Ranch near Modesto or Turlock.
Grandma Law was an artist and all her art work burned up in a fire (I think in Detroit,Michigan).
She never painted again that I recall.
Chinese checkers...Aunt Orpha didn't like to lose.
Don't remember any more about Grandma except she was a sweet old lady.  I remember Dad coming to the dorm at Pepperdine and telling me she had died.
Don't remember cuddling.....neither grandma did, perhaps it was the time period they lived in.
Our mother was loving.

Hi Ellie,
       I so remember this time in our lives when grandma Law was in the hospital.  I remember being by dad's side as he wept over her right after the accident.  No one thought she would last another day but she was truly amazing.  I 
remember visiting her in the hospital ward and wondering how long she would have to stay there.  She was so sweet and humble and kind.  She smiled through all that pain so many times.  Daddy just adored her and I hope he is enjoying being with his family now, and especially his father and mother.  That must have been quite a reunion.    This really made me cry to think of the pain she had to endure with the loss of our grandfather and then this.  I always remember that she loved and hugged us and made us feel very special.

Old letter:
"Wesley Hulbert,
Your brother, Frank Hulbert, was brought to the hospital from Fred Fishers Camp Dec. 29, (1893) and died Jan. 8, 1894.  A log rolled on him, breaking his back, fracturing his skull and also causing an injury in his stomach.  He was out of his head when he came and was conscience at any time (?)  
He had been living all summer with an old man named J.V. Davidson, at Bark Bay, Bayfield, Wisconsin.  This old man is on a homestead,  he was here before your brother died and said all of his clothes were with him when you brother came.  He had with him simply the clothing whiche he was then wearing.  I sent these to you by express today.
