Obituary:

DULL. In Damascus township, Henry county, O., May 4th, 1888, of tumor, Delilah Dull, aged 70 years, 13 days, wife of John Dull. And now, Mr. Editor, your kindness and indulgence in the past in granting space in your worthy paper to speak of the life and character, of the departed, gives us courage to ask again for space to chronicle a few items, relating to the death of one so widely known, so highly esteemed. Early in the history of this county, with her companion they entered the wilds of this part of the county and entered land, away from the river, and at that early day were low and wet and seemingly possessing but few commendable features; but by industry and energy they changed the forest and apparently low grounds to one of the finest farms in the township.

The deceased was a daughter of Rev. H. Kimberlin, of Wood county, O., deceased, and early in life embraced religion and united with the U. B. Church, of which for many years she was a worthy member. It was the privilege of the writer to often visit this home and share their hospitality; I am not saying too much to assert that Damascus township has lost one of its best citizens, the home a kind and tender mother, the husband a loving wife. She will live in the hearts of many. The funeral services were held on Sabbath, May 6th, in the old Beaver Creek Chapel. It was one of the largest gatherings ever convened at the Chapel; after which she was taken to the Beaver Creek cemetery to await the resurrection of the just.
