Eleanor Rebecca Stull was born at Juda, Wis., on October 21st, 1849, the daughter of Guy P. and Martha Clark Humphrey, and died at her home in Beaman, Iowa, February 20, 1930. Her girlhood was spent in the home of her birth. On November 1st, 1868, she was united in marriage to Jacob Stull of the same community.

After a residence of five years, the young people moved to Jasper county, Iowa, and after another five years they moved to Clark county. Two years later they came to their farm in Grundy county, where they made their home until moving to Beaman in 1909, where she since resided. Mr. Stull died in 1925.
