Anna Sullivan, 86 year old Hull resident was found dead in her home last week Tuesday. She was living alone and neighbors believe she must have died on Sunday.

Gerrit Vinks' daughter brought her her mail Sunday afternoon and Miss Sullivan told the girl she was feeling well. When she called at the home Monday and again on Tuesday, however, she did not answer the door. Mrs. Henry C. Koele had also been to the door Monday and when nobody answered her knock Tuesday she notified relatives and neighbors. They found Miss Sullivan dead in her bedroom.

She was born April 25, 1865, and lived much of her life in Hull. She entered an old peoples home last fall and in the spring returned to Hull. She had planned to return to the home again this fall.

Funeral services were held Friday at the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Hull with Rev. D. T. McGvey officiating. She is survived by two nephews, Leo J. Murphy of Sioux City and Frank Murphy of St. Cloud, Minn.
