He was born February 18, 1837, in Prussia. He, with his sister, came to the 
United States when he was sixteen years of age, and settled in St. Louis, 
Missouri. He traveled over the western states considerably, prior to 1860, when 
he came overland to California, and settled in Honey Lake valley in August of 
that year. In 1863 he bought a portion of the ranch he now owns, and to which he 
has from time to time added. He now owns 1,040 acres of agricultural 
timber-land, which is situated about seven miles south-east of Susanville. Mr. 
Hulsmann was married February 5, 1870, to Miss Hannah Vogt, also a native of 
Prussia. To them have been born the following children: William, born April 1, 
1872; Herman and Henry, February 14, 1874; Ida, May 15, 1876; Louise, April 13,
