 In the death of Oscar J. Hull the community has lost a good citizen. He had been in poor health for several months and a few weeks ago he was
 taken to Grace hospital, where he died from the effects of heart disease. For many years he conducted feed and grain business at the corner of East
 Chapel and Lloyd streets, but disposed
 of the store few years ago. He built
 at that site large tenement house
 block with stores in front. At the
 breaking out of the war he enlisted in
 a Connecticut regiment, serving three years, and after the war engaged in | work for the Christian commission in the south. Later he came to Fair Ha- ven, where his brother Andrew Hull, resides and had liver here ever since.
 He was a member of Admiral Foote post, G. A. R. He was patriotic, al-
 ways standing up Loyalty and with en- thusiasm for his country. MT. Hull was prominent in the founding of the Grand avenue Baptist church, gave lib- orally for it's maintenance and was al-
 ways an efficient worker there. He was for many years superintendent of
 the Sunday school and the senior dea-
 con. The funeral will be solemnized
 this afternoon at o'clock from the Grand avenue Baptist church.
