 DEATH OF MRS. ELLA J. BULL. The death of Mrs. Ella J. Bull of this city, recorded elsewhere, will come as a personal afTiiction to many per sons In this community who had learn ed to know and to love her for her many rare traits of character. Partic- ularly will she be missed and mourned l in the charities with which she was | identified, and in which she manifested such an earnest, solicitous interest. ] In the Grace M. F.. church, particu- larly In it's auxiliary department and more especially in the Womans Aid society, her death has created a vacan- cy not easily filled. Her intense de- votion to the activities of church work, her unselfish labor in the interest of others, notably the poor and the lowly, and the zeal she exhibited in every | charitable cause endeared her both to | those whom she unostentatiously aid ed and to those who, engaged in the same work, were furnished with an | example worthy of emulation. | The greatest loss, the keenest blow and the most poignant sorrow, how ever, rests over the household which | she had made home In the best and most holy meaning of the word. She carried sunshine wherever she went, and her sudden call to beyond the pale of mortality is a. shock that Is only tempered by the words of Him who died that mankind might live. | Mrs. Bull was born in Hoboken, N. | J., but had been resident of New | Haven for many years. Her husband, | William D. Bull, is a we'll known con- mercial traveller, representing the Royal Baking Powder company. He and two | children, boy and a girl, are the inn mediate family members in this city | left to mourn the death of this estima- ble woman. Her parents reside in | Orange, N. J., to which city the re- | mains will be taken for Interment. | Mrs. Bull had been ill but a short time, malarial fever being the cause of death. The funeral will take place | from her late home, F Waverly street, next Friday morning at 10:30 o'clock. The interment will be in Orange, N. J.
