George W. Hulse, Fireman, Buried

Escorted by a guard of twenty fellow-firemen, while the bell alarm system tapped at fifteen-second intervals, the body of George W. Hulse, 40, who was injured fatally while riding to a fire Monday, was carried to Oakland Cemetery Thursday afternoon for burial.

In the cortege that left from the chapel of the Lamar and Smith Undertaking Company, moving first to the Brooklyn Avenue Methodist Church for services and then to the cemetery rode more than 100 firemen, in addition to the bodyguard, or most of the men off duty. Then came members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, who were in charge of the rites at the grave.

As the cortege approached Fire Station No. 7, on Tenth Street, the alarm began to sound and continued until it had passed by. Firemen on duty stood at attention. The procession passed Fire Station No. 6, on Forest Avenue, and again the bell tapped at fifteen-minute intervals and the firemen stood at attention.

The Rev. F. B. Wheeler, pastor of the Brooklyn Avenue Methodist Church, and the rev. Minor Bounds, pastor of the St. John's Methodist Church, officiated. Firemen served as active pallbearers.

Mrs. Hulse, wife of the fireman, will receive a lifetime pension.

The fireman died of a fractured skull at Parkland Hospital Wednesday. He was injured when the truck on which he was riding and a delivery car collided Monday at Ninth and Bishop streets.
