LIFE'S LABORS ENDED
Demise Of Albert Hulett
Occurs On Tuesday Morning.
The community was startled Tuesday forenoon by the report that Mr. Hulett was dead. While it was well known that he was sick, but very few were aware that his condition was considered at all dangerous. He had been sick with an ailment of the stomach, but a short time and the news of his death was a surprise and a shock to everyone.
Albert Hulett was born at Veteran, N.Y., August 14, 1833, where he lived with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John M. Hulett, until 1837 when they moved to Ohio. Shortly afterward they moved to Indiana and in 1842 they came to Illinois, settling a few miles south of Rockton which was then in its infancy.
May 1st 1866, he was united in marriage with Rachel Ann Lake who passed away November 25th, 1876. To them were born seven children, five sons, three of whom died while quite young, and two daughters. The living are Mrs. Mattie Black of Latham Park; Mrs. Lorena Ricker of Sioux City, Iowa, John of Belvidere and Marson whose present address is unknown.
October 17, 1889 he was married to Mary M. Feakins, who with their one son, Paul M., survives the husband and father.
Of Mr. Hulett's life and public service many of our readers are better fitted to speak than we, whose acquaintance with him has been of comparatively short duration. Suffice it to state that for five years he held the important office of supervisor of the town of Owen, and since moving into town a few years ago he has served a term as village Trustee and one as Village President. He has always been a great student and his opinion was often in matters requiring careful thought and study. As one who has long known him has said: "He was a kind husband and father, a thoroughly good man and always showed the best side of his character in his family."
The funeral will be held from the house t 10:30 o'clock to-day, interment taking place at the west side cemetery in Rockford where his first wife and children are buried.

Notes:

Name:
Daughter of John M. Hulett born Vermont and Lucinda Jay born NY, Martha F. Hulett married Thomas W. Parry in 1861. By 1880, Mattie Parry was separated from her husband and a Lecturer in Rock, Beloit, WI. Head of the Parry household, her children were Willie, Johnnie, Mattie, Edward, and Lulu. The children were born in MI with the exception of Lulu born WI. On 4 Nov 1880, Cook County, IL, she married widower Judge Arnold Krekel.
Judge Krekel's obituary of 18 July 1888 reported that Mrs. Krekel and his children were with him in his last hours: He passed away without much suffering, and seemed to be going to sleep. His wife and daughters were grief stricken. All of his relatives were summoned by telegraph.
In accordance with Judge Krekel's wishes, his funeral was conducted at the family residence without ostentation and he was to be buried in St. Charles where other members of his family were interred.
Martha H. Krekel/Kreckel survived her husband by more than 30 years and died at the age of 81 years and 5 months; informant on her MO Death Certificate was her daughter, Miss Lulu Parry (MO #26181).

A Free Thinker in her own right, Mrs. Krekel was a vice-president of the American Secular Union and she is acknowledged in The Works of Robert G. Ingersoll, Vol. 12 (of 12): http://www.gutenberg.org/files/38812/38812-h/38812-h.htm
CONVENTION OF THE AMERICAN SECULAR UNION.
Albany, N. Y., September 13, 1885.
In this particular, leaving out myself as I have said, you have done magnificently well. Mrs. Mattie Krekel, another vice-president, is a woman who has the courage to express her opinions, and she is all the more to be commended because, as you know, women have to suffer a little more punishment than men, being amenable to social laws that are more exacting and tyrannical than those passed by Legislatures.

Krekel, Arnold (1815?1888) Krekel was an American judge who had been born in Prussia but went with his parents in 1832 to America, settling in Missouri. He was elected in 1852 to the Missouri State Legislature, served as a colonel during the Civil War, was president of the Constitutional Convention of 1865, and signed the ordinance of emancipation by which the slaves of Missouri were set free. A pronounced agnostic, he was described in Putnam's Four Hundred Years of Freethought. Krekel when he realized he was about to die requested his wife not to wear mourning, saying that death was as natural as birth. His wife, Mattie Parry Krekel (Born 1840), was also a freethinker. In a Truth Seeker (15 February 1890) article, she wrote, "Freethought means, first of all, mental self-assertion."
