Old Resident of Timber Creek Township Passes Away

Samuel B. Hull, aged 68, an old resident of Timber Creek Township, and a brother of Charles H. Hull, of this city, died at his home five and one-half miles south of the city, Wednesday evening at 5:30, after a few days illness due to pneumonia, complicated with heart trouble.

He left the court house square with Captain Fred Woodbury, of Company K, Twenty-third Iowa Infantry, in 1863 and did not see Marshalltown again until after his discharge from the service in 1865. He transferred to Company I, Eighth Iowa Calvary branch. Cloud H. Brock, of this city, was captain of the Eighth for a time, and other surviving members are g. R. Haas and W. B. Beeson.
After the war mr. hull came home and went to live in the “Kentucky settlement” in Timber Creek. He has resided on the same farm where he died ever since.
Mr. Hull is survived by his widow, who was a Hilsabeck and three children: Chester and Arthur, who live at home and mrs. Edna Thompson, who resides six miles south of the city. One full brother John Hull, lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Another half brother aside from C. H. Hull is Edward Hull, of Chicago, and a half sister, Mrs. A. P. Hogle, lives at Santa Fe, New Mexico. Jerome Hull, of this city, is a nephew.
The funeral will be held from the residence at 2:00 o’clock Friday afternoon and interment will follow in the Timber Creek Cemetery.
