| Info | Edwin Hurlbut was born on May 12, 1854, in Linneus, Missouri, where his father was in the mercantile business. Edwin Hurlbut was four years old when his father came to the western Kansas Territory in 1859. The Hurlbut family moved to Black Hawk in 1862, and Hurlbut was educated in the Gilpin County common schools. When the rest of the Hurlbut family moved to Utah in 1868, Hurlbut joined two of his brothers, who were in the drugstore business in Cheyenne, Wyoming. In 1875, he received an appointment to West Point and attended the academy for two years. He then traveled west to Deadwood, Dakota Territory, to establish a pharmaceutical business with another brother. He remained in Deadwood for three years.
Upon returning to Colorado in 1880, Hurlbut studied law in the firm of Henry Teller and H. M. Orahood in Central City. He was admitted to the Colorado bar in 1883, and entered a law partnership with W.C. Fullerton. In 1887, he was appointed to serve out the term of district attorney for the First Judicial District of Colorado, and he was then elected to that office in 1888. While holding the position of district attorney, he was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives from Gilpin County serving for the 1889-1890 biennium.
Following another law partnership in Denver with J. Livesay, Hurlbut moved to Creede at the beginning of its mining boom, and was elected mayor in 1892. He resigned the mayoral post in 1893 and returned to Denver where he practiced law until 1895. Once again, Hurlbut moved and opened a law office in Cripple Creek. He was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives a second time in 1896 from El Paso County and became Speaker in 1897.
In 1898, he was called to serve in the Spanish-American War. After declining a promotion to major and paymaster, he returned to Denver where he practiced law. He was an associate justice for the Colorado Court of Appeals from 1911 until 1915. He died in Denver on February 6, 1925.
