Mr. and Mrs. Aloee Deitz former residents of Hull---but now located in a town near Davenport stopped in Hull a few days this week to visit old acquaintances.

A search of Ancestry.com was unsuccessful in locating him with a 1905 death year or a Cherokee or Hull residence. The Trosky, Minn., cemetery does not appear to be indexed on the Pipestone County GenWeb site or otherwise online.
