Charles Hull was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Hull, after whom the town of Hull was named. He was born in Sheboygan county, town of Scott, Jan. 9, 1860. His boyhood was spent on a farm in the town of Holton. He married Miss Georgia Brewer and about 1907 the family came from Poyisippi, near Weyauwega, to the farm of her parents, four miles east of Abbotsford, across the Eau Pleine river. Some years later they sold the farm and moved to the village, where Mrs. Hull died in 1917. 
 

Mr. Hull then went to live with his youngest daughter. They resided at Plymouth and in 1941, moved to Fond du Lac. The past three years, he lived at the Lutheran Home for the aged. 
 

He is survived two sons, Wallace, of Owen; Roy of Shebooygan; and Mrs. Laura Peterson, of Chicago, Ill., all of whom were here for the funeral.  
 

There are 24 grand children and 27 great grand children. An older sister, Mrs. Lil Rice, of Iron River, Mich., also survives. Two daughters, Mrs. Cora Miller and Mrs. Myrtle Wallace, preceded him in death.
