Horace Warren Hulbert was born May 15, 1844, in Wisconsin. He came overland to California in 1861 and learned the printing trade in Ukiah. He edited and owned a number of northern California newspapers before he moved to Georgetown and started the Georgetown Gazette in 1880. Although he owned and was the editor of the Gazette until 1898, H. W. Hulbert's primary concern from the late 1880s to his death in 1924 was mining.
Maude Aleah Hulbert was born April 10, 1875, in Yuba Ciry, California. She was the daughter of H. W. Hulbert and Celia Ann Willeford (1855-1896). Maude worked on, then edited, then owned the Gazette. Maude married John Christian Horn, a typographer and dance instructor, in 1898, raised a family, and continued to publish the paper. Between 1924, when she discontinued the paper, and her death in 1935, Maude ran an insurance business, wrote for several northern California papers, was a notary public, and was the first worman to be elected an El Dorado County Justice of the Peace.
Amy Louise Horn Blair Drysdale was born June 1, 1899 in Georgetown. She was the daughter of Maude Hulbert and J. C. Horn. Amy graduated from Placer High Shcool, went to business school in Oakland, and worked for several years for the Southern Pacific Railroad. In 1921, Amy returned to Georgetown and married Earl Blair, a forester. She lived with Blair first in Siskiyou County, then in Sumatra. Amy, tiring of life in Indonesia, divorced Blair and returned to Georgetown in 1927. Amy married Walter Drysdale in 1935. She wrote for the Sacramento Bee, was a notary public, served as Justice of the Peace for El Dorado County, and was a real estate broker.
