Funeral Held for Howard Hulme

Wayland- Hiram Howard Hulme, aged 82, life long resident of this community and widely known farmer and stockman, passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Olive Boiler, in Wayland, early Friday morning, Dec. 28. Mr. Hulme had been ill only a short time, having been taken sick with the flu which developed into pneumonia and the combination of the two was too much for him to overcome.

Mr. Hulme was widely known throughout the community and all of south-eastern Iowa, where he had been both a prominent and successful farmer and stockman for most of eighty-two years.

Probably no other man in the Wayland community was more widely admired and respected and all who had come in contact with him either in business or socially had nothing but good to say of him. He was an active man and carried on in his usual good health until his last illness. During the past ten years he had served as an inheritance tax appraiser for Henry county and was active in the work during the week just prior to his death.

Mr. Hulme lived most of his younger years on his farm in the Finley neighborhood and came to Wayland in 1920 and built a new home in the east part of town.

Although he lived in town he never gave up his interest or work on his farm and in recent years spent a major share of his time at the farm where John Zihlman lives and it was there he had most of his livestock.

After coming to Wayland Mr. Hulme took an active part in civic organizations being a director and vice president of the Wayland Savings Bank; president of the Wayland Elevator company and a director of the Wayland Commercial club.

Funeral services were held on Monday afternoon at the Finley chapel under the direction of Rev. E.S. Mullett and Rev. Daniel Harper. Special music was furnished by Mrs. Allen Wenger and Mrs. Edd Wittrig. Pallbearers were Sam Bergh, Chris Schlatter, Albert Magdefrau, Sr., Albert Magdefrau, Jr., Clark Everets and Ray Ernst, all lifelong associates and friends of Mr. Hulme. Services at the grave were conducted by Tom Lantz of Olds and members of the Adonirom Lodge A.F. and A.M. of Wayland.

Hiram Howard Hulme, son of Samuel and Sarah (Howard) Hulme was born Jan. 17, 1863, near Trenton, Iowa. He was united in marriage on Jan. 6, 1886, with Anna Dill and to this union five children were born. His son, John Dill, gave his life in the service of his country in World War I. His wife died in March, 1936. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Mary McCoid of Mt. Pleasant, the daughter of Olive Boller, of Wayland, and three sons, Max, Harold and Sam, all of the Wayland community, along with fourteen grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
