Tugaloo Tribune, November 27, 1923
MR. JAS. M. HULL CLAIMED BY DEATH
Interment in Eastview Cemetery Yesterday Afternoon at 3 O'Clock
   Mr. James Monroe Hull, senior deacon of the Immanuel Baptist church, whom we 
reported a week ago of being seriously ill, died at nine o'clock Sunday morning 
at his home in Westminster. He suffered an attack-of paralysis of the right 
side on November 16th and his condition was realized critical from the first. 
He partly regained consciousness during the middle of the past week and was 
strong enough to talk a little and recognize members of the family.  He grew 
worse Friday and on Saturday began sinking fast.
People all over this section will be sorry to learn of the death of this good 
man.  Mr. Hull was honest, upright, pious and gentle in his dealings with his 
fellowman. His acts of kindness and his service to others will be remembered 
and cherished by a large number of friends who knew him intimately. He had been 
a consistent member of the Baptist church many years, and was made a deacon 
something over thirty years ago.  James Monroe Hull was son of the late Daniel 
Simpson Hull, who died December 24, 1914. His mother, whose maiden name was 
Miss Mary Miller, and whose first husband was a Mr. Harris, died when James was 
about two years old.  His life was spent in Oconee in and around Madison and 
Westminster.  Prior to coming to Westminster in the nineties he lived some 
years after his marriage on a farm near Tugaloo river. He was married April 13, 
1876 to Mrs. Martha Leathers Butler, who is sister of Mr. G. W. Leathers, of 
Westminster, and whose first husband was Pickens Butler. She with three sons 
and three daughters and twenty grandchildren survive. The, children are John 
Daniel Hull, assistant secretary and treasurer of the Westminster Loan & Trust 
Company; William Doyle Hull, traveling salesman; George L: Hull, conductor on 
the A., B. & A., of Fitzgerald, Ga.; Mrs. D. I. Mulkey, Mrs. J. M. Martin and. 
Mrs. Thomas  H. Cartledge, of Westminster. One son, James C. Hull, died about 
twenty years ago. Mr. Hull was stepfather of Mr. D. P. Butler, also of 
Westminster.  Mr. Hull was in his seventy-second year, having been born August 
28, 1852. He was the last member of his father's family to pass away. His 
brother, Wilburn N. Hull, died in May 1922.  The family have the sincere 
sympathy of a host of friends here and in all parts of the county.
