My Genealogy Hound

W. DuBois Pulver, one of the rising young attorneys of Oakland County, has been established at Holly since March, 1903, and has already commanded the attention of a large clientele. He was born in Warren County, New York, in 1871, and is a son of Nathan Pulver, who is a large lumber dealer in Warren County, New York. The family is a very old one in that locality, having been settled there for generations. Our subject’s father and grandfather have been connected for years with the lumbering interests of Warren, Essex and Franklin counties, and the third generation is also associated with them, in the person of Frank Pulver, our subject’s brother. Another brother, Le Roy, is an attorney in general practice as Schenectady, New York, while the youngest, Frederick, is still attending school.

Mr. Pulver has been very liberally educated, primarily at Glens Falls, New York, near his home, where he completed an academic course, and then at the University of Maryland, in Baltimore, where he was graduated in law in the class of 1898. The following year was spent in special work at Yale College, and he began practice at Baltimore, subsequently removing to Michigan. After spending a few months at the “Soo,” he came to Holly, succeeding to the extensive practice of Charles F. Collier, who for years was a successful attorney and a prominent man of the village.

Mr. Pulver was married to a Miss Remington, of Fenton, Genesee County, Michigan. He has purchased a fine residence in a pleasant part of Holly. Politically he is identified with the Republican party. He is very prominent in Masonic circles, belonging to the blue lodge and chapter in New York; the council in Ohio; commandery in New York; and shrine at Grand Rapids, and has received the York rite. Mrs. Pulver is a member of the Congregational Church.

Mr. Pulver is well located professionally, having well appointed offices in the First State & Savings Bank building.
