Bull, Harry W. (25 APR 1884 - 9 MAR 1955)
Relatives are at a loss in determining a reason for Harry Walter Bull’s action of taking his own life by suicide sometime a week ago yesterday.
His body was discovered in a closed off room upstairs of his farm home in the Town of Maplehurst Saturday, three days after he had committed the act of shooting himself.
It’s reasoned he may have been despondent over his health. He was 71 years and 10 months of age.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon, March 16, from the Hoeper and Kraut Funeral Home in Owen. Rev. H. D. Wagner officiated at the service with burial being made in Riverside Cemetery.
Pallbearers were Russell Westendorf, Walter Novak, Noel Hansen, Thorvald Stigsen, David McVey, and Courtland Hamel. Mesdames Rex Copper and ted Klabon were in charge of the floral offerings.
Harry Walter Bull was born on the 25th of April 1884, in Milton, Kan. He accompanied his parents to Wisconsin when he was an infant of one year. Practically all of his adult life was spent in the Town of Maplehurst where he farmed. On June 5, 1918, he was united in marriage to Olive Loretta Taylor, to which union four children were born, namely: Rame of Chicago, Ill., and Albert who is at home; and two daughters, Mrs. William J. (Rachel) Cordts, Mundelin, Ill., and Mrs. Wesley (Ann) Rodda of the Town of Maplehurst. He is also survived by four brothers, Bert, Portland, Ore., Claude and Wayne, Somers, Mont., and Orvie, Green Bay, Wis.; one sister, Mrs. Lloyd (Lela) Cox, Somers, Mont., and three grandchildren.
