"Grandma Huling Dead"
"Mrs. Elizabeth Huling died last night between 9 and 10 o'clock. She had been in feeble health for some months, though most of the time able to be up and about the house part of each day. Her death was not unexpected, and all her children were present when she passed away. Had she lived until the 12th of next month she would have reached the age of 86 years, most of which were spent in this section.
Her maiden name was Elizabeth Bulloch, and she was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, April 12, 1820. Her parents died when she was but 5 years of age. She came to Texas with her uncle, Jesse Moppin, in 1834, and in 1839 she was married to Thomas B. Huling, whose home was at that time in Jasper county, Texas. Her husband came to this section in 1855, and erected the Dwelling where Tilford Bean now lives, this being one of the first dwellings erected in this weatern country.
Soon after this the family came here, and has since resided continuously in the county. There are five living children: Mrs. J. A. Abney, Mrs. H.T. Hill, Messrs W.N. Huling, M.B. Huling and P.H. Huling. Mrs. Tilford Bean, who died more than a year ago, was her daughter. There are numerous descendants from these children, all of whom are among the leading citizens of the country.
Grandma Huling having been one of the original settlers of this section, she had the exercise of those powers which come to few who know nothing of the dangers of frontier life. The Indians were much more plentiful than the whites when she came here, and she was exposed to perils often. She passed through many trying ordeals, but in them all maintained supremacy, having strength of character, knowledge and fortitude rarely equalled.
Early in their settlement of family realized the values which lands in this section would some day command, and they procured possession of vast estates in realty, all of which is still held by different members of the family.
No one was ever heard to speak an unpleasant word against Grandma Huling, but of her truly it may be said "none knew her but to love her." The Leader joins with the bereaved in sincere sympathy.
The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Huling took place Sunday morning at the old Huling cemetery near the city. Rev. W.T. Renfro conducted the funeral exercises. The pall bearers were W.B. Abney, W.R. Williamson, Oscar Nichols, R.D. McHenry, Ed Fulton, J.R. Dawson. The number in attenance was very large as Grandma Huling had a host of friends."

Married in 1836, Miss Elizabeth Bullock, a native of Bourbon County, Kentucky, and born April 12, 1819, who had moved with her relatives to Texas in 1833, and settled in the neighborhood where Mr. Huling then resided. Eleven children were born to this union, namely: Robert and James, deceased; Iva V., now Mrs. Bean, whose husband is now associated in business with our subject; William, deceased; Rebecca, now Mrs. H. T. Hill, residing in Lampasas County; Almonte, now Mrs. J. A. Abney; W. N.; J. A., deceased; M. B.; P. H., now in the stock business in Lampasas County, and B. V., deceased.
Mrs. Huling, the mother, was an orphan like her husband, and under the laws of the Texan republic, was entitled to and received a "headright" of land (1,460 acres), which she located near Alvarado, in Johnson County, and still retains.
