Daughter of William Henry Hulsey and Marian Josephine Bateman/Hulsey. Married to Clyde Livingston Brooks.
5/20/1895 - Atlanta Constitution - One of the saddest deaths that ever occurred in Atlanta was that of Mrs. Clyde L. Brooks, which occurred at her late residence on Lee street, in Inman Park, yesterday morning.
Mrs. Brooks death was rather sudden and unexpected. Only a few days ago, she seemed to be in the enjoyment of her usual good health and was bright, fascinating and happy.
As Miss Hallie Hulsey, no young lady in Atlanta was a greater favorite in society or possessed a large or more loyal ____ of friends. Thoroughly unselfish, she was always planning for the happiness of other people and she was never so happy herself as when she realized that her efforts in that direction had succeeded. The entire period of her girlhood was spent in this city and as the flower of her fair young life unfolded, it seemed to disclose new beauties ever day. Friends gathered about her in legions and her bright, happy face was the shining center of every circle in which she moved.
MRs. Brooks was a daughter of Colonel William H. Hulsey, one of the leading lawyers of this city. The family to which she belongs is one of the oldest and best in Georgia, her grandfather, Mr. Eli Husley, having settled in DeKalb county many years ago and her father having spent his entire life, up to the present time, in the neighborhood of this city.
About two years ago, this fair young blossom of the home fireside became the wife of Mr. Clyde L. Brooks, a promising young member of the legal profession and a man of rich mental endowment. The favor of fortune seemed vouchsafed to him in the gracious smile of the young lady to whom he paid his suit and no happy pair ever commenced life under such a shower of roses. Just as the future seemed brightest to them both, and in the confidence of mutual love, they looked into the days ahead that beckined to them from the fairy distance, the sky is suddenly overcast by a dark shadow and the beautiful Mayday morning is changed into a night of bereavement and gloom.
Mrs. Brooks was a devoted and loyal Christian and her death is sad only to those who survive her. She herself has already entered into the pearly gates and sits at the feet of the Master, like sweet Mary of Bethany.
The funeral will occur at 4 o'clock this afternoon from the residence on Lee street, Inman Park. Interment at Oakland.

5/21/1895 - MOTHER AND BABY - The Funeral of Mrs. Clyde S. Brooks yesterday Afternoon. - Folding her tiny babe on her breast, the mortal remains of Mrs. Clyde L. Brooks were lovingly committed to the sod of Oakland cemetery yesterday afternoon.
The bereaved home in Inman Park was thronged with friends and acquaintances at the funeral services yesterday afternoon and the hearts of all were touched by the tender words of eulogy that called up the associations of the fair young life that was folded forever in the embrace of death.
An impressive feature of the services was the presnece of the Governor's Horse Guards, the military organization of which Mr. Brooks is a member. The company was not in uniform, nor under orders, but the tribute is all the more pronounced from the fact that nearly every member of the company was present as a token of respect to the memory of Mrs. Brooks. The services were conducted by Rev. John W. Heidt, DD, assisted by Rev. H. H. Parks, Rev. R. J. Bigham and Rev. Dr. Glenn.
The casket was wreathed with quite a number of floral tributes and the atmosphere of the room was dense with the perfume of those pale white blossoms.
Six bereaved members of the immediate family connection acted as pall bearers, three of them being brothers of the deceased and three brothers of Mr. Brooks.
The interment occurred in Oakland Cemetery.
