Hon. Joel Trull, whose death oc-
Cured ON Monday last, was born in
Peacham, Mass, May 1, 1903. His
father was Joel Trull, who moved to
Danville about 1918. His mother
was Meribah Davis, sister of the late
Salma Davis of Danville. About
1916 Joel Trull senior moved to
Burke and engaged in trade there.
The object of this notice served as
clerk for his father till twenty-three
years of age, when he engaged in
trade himself in Sutton. In 1927 he
married Electra Hall, who died July
3, 1888. In 1880 he moved to
Burke and was there in trade two
years. About this time, conceiving
the idea that canal would he built
between Boston and Montreal, and
that it would pass through what is
now West Burke, he came here and
built a saw and grist mill, thus being
the pioneer of our village. He was
| engaged in trade here several years,
the last being while the Passumpsic
railroad was being built. He was at
various times honored with a liberal
amount of town office, especially in
the capacity of justice of the peace,
| which office he held for about fifty
years. From 1878 to 1880 he held
the office of assistant judge Of the
county conrt. Judge Trull had five
| children, three of whom are now liv-
ing: David Trull, Mrs. Perry Porter
| of West Burke, and Mrs. A. L. Da-
Wis of st. Johnsbury. He was q
member of the Universalist church
for over forty years.
