Died November 12, 1935, Morris, NY

Mrs. W.

Scott Lull of Pearsall's Corners, who survives. To them was born one son, Leland Lull of Morris. Thirteen years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Lull came to Morris village to live and since that time Mr. Lull has been a valued employee in the Dr. Howard W. Naylor establishment on Main street.  Mrs. Lull was a consistent member of the Universalist church and a loyal member of Jewell chapter, order of Eastern Star, and as long as her health permitted, she was active in the work of both societies. She was a devoted wife and a kind and indulgent mother.  Immediate surviving relatives are the husband and son; two grandchildren, Betty Jane and Robert Lull, all of Morris; three brothers, Addison Lull of Milford Center, Clayton Lull of New Lisbon and Levern Lull of Morris; also five nieces and three nephews to all of whom much sympathy is extended.  Funeral services conducted by her pastor, Rev.
