The Hon. Lady Hulse died suddenly yesterday afternoon when getting out of her car at Breamore House, her residence in Hampshire. She was 72. She had been out riding yesterday morning, according to her usual practice. She was the Hon. Edith Maud, daughter of the first Baron Burnham, and she was married, in 1888, to Sir Edward Hulse, M.P. for Salisbury, who died in 1903. Her only son, Edward, a Guards' officer, was killed in the War. Since the War the welfare of ex-Service men lay close to her heart, and she was a warm supporter of the Old Contemptibles Association and of the British Legion. She was the first woman mayor of Salisbury, in 1927-28. Both on the city council and apart from it Lady Hulse's chief interest was the maternity and child welfare centre. She was a member of local councils and a magistrate for Hampshire. Lady Hulse was a keen agriculturist up to recent years, and the Breamore flock of Hampshire Down sheep has attained a notable position. (The Times, Nov. 2, 1937)
