Martha H. (Mrs. F.F. Hull) Hull
Died on 6/10/1912

Buried in Seventh Day Advent cemetery, Tekamah

(The website Find-A-Grave identifies her first name as Martha.)

Grandma F. F. Hull died at Ft. Calhoun, Neb., June 10, 1912. A brief funeral service was held at the house next day by an Omaha minister. Mrs. Charles Sierk sang the anthems, with her sister, Mrs. Wallie McMillan, at the organ. June 12 the body was taken to the Seventh Day Advent cemetery ten(?) miles north of Tekamah, where many friends with beautiful flowers were ready to do all in their power for the afflicted family.

She was born in Wauseon, Ohio, July 4, 1863, came to Nebraska with her parents in 1870 and was married to Frank F. Hull at Red Cloud, Nov. 30, 1881. She was the mother of eleven children, ten of whom survive her and were all at her funeral.

When this writer attended their 30th wedding anniversary last November she was just home from an Omaha hospital and her suffering since was intense. For the past twenty-seven years she has been a member of the Seventh Day Advent church with a full hope of heaven and immortality.

The family came here about seven years ago from Tekamah and although our acquaintance with her was slight, yet we know she was a good, faithful wife and mother and her memory worthy of our best regards. One of her married daughters, Mrs. Marvin Whitnack, is our neighbor.

To the friends in Ft. Calhoun, Decatur and Tekamah who were so kind, the entire family wish us to express their deepest gratitude.

Among others present was S.W. Hull of Clarinda, Iowa, a brother of Mr. Hull.
