Death OVeriakss Tive Millloaalre,
Through Natives Theft
The Ming OF the will Of August Kull
man by Surrogate George s. West IL
Camden yesterday brought to light
very pathetic story. says the Phlladel'
phla Press.
August Kullman was the promising
son OF a methodist episcopal minister
stationed at Sea Isle CITY. Miss AIDE
line c. Weatherby was the daughter ol
the Rev Samuel c. Weatherby. D
methodist episcopal minister. who was
stationed at Haddonheld. The young
people became acquainted Ia attending
religious gatherings and an attachment
was formed which terminated In mar.
rlage. which was attended by many
prominent persons from all parts OF the
state. a short time before the mar.
rlage took place there were urgent calls
for missionaries In India. and the two
decided after marriage 10 devote their
lives TO missionary iabors.
After the ceremony they started fol
their field Of labor at Asauool. Bengal,
India. They reached their post OF duty
In February. 1895. one month after theli
marriage. and entered upon their du.
ties. They had been laboring but a
short time when the natives began "a
die OF cholera. The young mlsslonarie,
we're advised 10 save their lives by go
ing to other parts. but they decided tc
stay and minister to the sufferers.
In order to avoid the disease they de.
clded 10 drink no water. as II was de-
elared TO be polluted and the cause Of
the spread OF the contagion. They pur'
chased COW and drank the milk. and
were free from the dreaded disease.
From the meager information al
hand II appears that on July 25 one oil
the natives. during the absence OF IN,
missionary and his wife. drank a guam
tity Of the milk and In order 10 con
ceal his crime. he procured some OF tbs
contaminated water from a stream
which was placed In a receptacle will
the milk.
When the missionaries returned from
their mission Of love and labor with IN,
natives they were very thirsty AM
drank considerable OF the walered milk
They ate a light supper and attende,
prayer meeting During the service
Mr. Kullman was taken ill and was az
sisted home. On the way Mrs Kull
man was attacked. All night long thl
husband and wife. attended by othel
missionaries. fought with the drendo,
plague, being unable to account for IN
attack, as they had escaped 80 many
months. In a strange country. hun
dreds OF miles from home. they tossed
on their couehes. Offering each othei
all the encouragement possible undei
the circumstances. Al O'Clock on th,
morning OF July 20 Mrs. Kullman be-
came unconscious and died. Foui
hours afterward Mr. Kullman died.
