Emilie B. Hulin (b. Bradley) (1852-1931) was born in Brooklyn, New York, and died in Brookline, Massachusetts. By 1870 she had moved with her family to Bloomfield, New Jersey, where she married George H. Hulin, a bank clerk and cashier, in 1872. Sometime prior to 1880 she moved back to Brooklyn, where she remained until she settled in Brookline in 1924. Hulin became interested in Christian Science around 1886 and studied with Mary Baker Eddy's student Pamilia J. Leonard of Brooklyn in May 1887. Hulin was present on June 13, 1888, when Eddy spoke to a group of students and delegates from branch churches in Chicago, Illinois. Hulin met Eddy after the meeting, an event she considered the "turning point" of her life. She also was present when Eddy spoke at the Central Music Hall in Chicago the following day. In November 1888 Hulin took Eddy's Primary class.
She became an authorized teacher of Christian Science in 1892 and was elected a First Member of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, on September 23, 1892. Her husband joined the church on January 1, 1898, and her daughter, Marie H. Seager (b. Hulin), joined on July 1, 1893. Hulin was listed in The Christian Science Journal as a practitioner and teacher from 1890 until 1931. In addition, she worked for Eddy both in an official capacity and on a personal level, serving her when called throughout the rest of Eddy's life. She served on a committee involved with the 1894 construction of the Original Edifice of The Mother Church building and was responsible in particular for its stained glass windows. In the spring of 1895 and winter of 1896 she was a member of Eddy's household in her Pleasant View home. Hulin also filled a number of church offices. She was First Reader of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Brooklyn, New York, and was unanimously elected Vice-President of the Board of Education for the Mother Church in 1923. Among her various teaching responsibilities, Hulin instructed a Normal class on Christian Science in December 1925.
