In his childhood days he was deprived of his eyesight and all these years has journeyed through life in utter darkness, still he endured the affliction with patience and fortitude. Several years of his early life were spent in an institution for the blind in New York where he was under the instruction of Miss Fanny Crosby in some of the studies. Here the deceased acquired a thorough insight into the various branches and became proficient in mathematics. Mr. Lull became a resident of Harpursville [Broome Co., NY] about ten years ago. This decade and the years he lived in other parts of the town of Colesville [Broome Co., NY], made him an old resident. In politics he was a republican, and prominently identified with the party in the town and county and, being a leader among men, he did good work for his party. He filled the honored position of county committeeman for Colesville and for a few years was postmaster, having for his deputy the present incumbent. The deceased was also interested in fraternal and benevolent societies. As a member of Ouaquaga Council Improved Order Redmen, he was prominent. At the institution of St. Elmo Castle A.O.K.M.C. in this village, he was a charter member and, for many years, a trustee. He was also a member of the Select Castle and also a trustee of that body.

Mrs. Harriet J. Lull was born Feb. 2, 1828, in the town of Coventry [Chenango Co., ,NY]; was married to Henry P. Thompson in 1846, who died April 4, 1865; married Aris Lull about 1868, who died in Harpursville Dec. 24, 1905; died at the home of her daughter in Afton township Thursday, Oct. 14th, 1909. Mrs. Lull died at 7:00 o'clock in the morning while sitting in her chair. With the awakening life of a new day she went to sleep, a most fitting time for a redeemed spirit to take its flight heavenward to the mansion prepared for the faithful. With the eye of faith one could see at the dawn of this memorable October day an invisible hand wave a signal, and a voice in softest accent on the morning breeze announce the opening of the gates, that God's angels were waiting to escort her home. As the parting time came suddenly, though expected, her "girls" were at her side. The life so long interwoven with theirs had surely passed over. The love of a mother for her children is beyond all human understanding. The daughters that gathered about that sleeping form, long ago passed out from the little home circle. Their own homes and business cares have occupied their time, which may have robbed mother of their companionship, but mother was just the same. These daughters were unusually attentive to and careful of mother. Their devotion along all the years was commendable. In early life Mrs. Lull gave her heart to Christ and her life to the advancement of the Lord's kingdom and the bettering of humanity. She united with the Baptist church and continued a faithful member, a regular attendant, her seat in church rarely vacant except during sickness or absence from home. After the death of Mr. Lull, the deceased lived alone for about two years, since then her home has been with her daughters, from the home of one, Mrs. Montgomery, she passed form earth to her eternal reward. The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon at the Baptist church, this village, the place where all the years she had worshipped, her pastor, Rev. C.A. Hubbell officiating. The services was under the management of Funeral Directors J.A. Kark & Sons, with burial in the Pratt cemetery [Colesville, Broome Co., NY]; beside a monument commemorating the death of her first husband whose body rests in the Sunny Southland where he fought the battles of his country. Those who survive the deceased are three daughters: Amerett, wife of Eugene E. Montgomery, Afton; Angelia, wife of Charles Edmons, Bainbridge, and Harriet, wife of Arthur Humiston, Belden. Besides the daughters, a large circle of relatives, friends, and old neighbors mourn the departure of one so well known whose memory will be held in kindly remembrance. This life is a field of toil. The workmen fall one by one and pass to their reward.
