Talk:Stull, Kansas

message: I believe the information regarding the man being found hung from a tree is viral marketing for a long-delayed horror film entitled Sin-Jin Smyth, which features this image on its poster. If no one can find evidence of this incident (with citations), the information should be removed immediately. 207.45.43.68 (talk) 14:08, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Where I found the evidence was found in the book "Soil of Our Souls" by Martha Parker and Betty Laird who wrote the book about the communities surrounding Clinton Lake.  Granted the book doesn't mention the year or which tree it's placement in the Stull section of the book (pp. 103) places it sometime in the early 20th Century.  Also, at that time, Stull would be relatively isolated from Topeka or Lawrence so it's possible the event didn't even make the paper.--Bhall87 (talk) 15:51, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The small cemetery two miles south of Stull is named Mound (or Mound View) Cemetery and was platted in 1880 as a small family cemetery some 11 years after Stull Cemetery was platted.  "Local legend" has only recently made this cemetery the new gateway to Hell and since I have made numerous trips to the cemetery during the day and night and have found and seen nothing, I don't feel it warrants a mention in the article.

replies: text: If you feel that the cemetery deserves a mention then you might try creating your article on it and posting the pictures as the info for this article has been removed by admin Nyttend.  Bhall87 (talk) 01:33, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cemetery 

message: I feel that the pop culture references should be limited to things where the actual cemetery or town is used (the Urge Overkill album is a good example) or where Stull and the legends are specifically mentioned.  The reason for this is the fifth season finale of Supernatural where a battle takes place in Stull Cemetery.  It's obvious that's not the real cemetery and aside from the brief view of a sign on the gate, I didn't even hear anyone mention the name of the cemetery.

thread_title: Pop Culture References

message: It is important to respect those who are buried in the cemetery of Stull. Showing respect to the cemetery is important because people are buried there and the cemetery has been disturbed by college students partying there. These parties have led to many controversies with current residents of Stull. Stull is more than just a haunted town.Gatsbydog3 (talk) 18:02, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Why Stull Matters

message: Stull continues to have a broader active community that is dedicated to one another. Today, there are about forty-five members that attend church services every Sunday along with some two-hundred people that regularly attend community events. However, Stull is rather a rural suburb that is connected to other churches and communities throughout Lodestar and Lecompton. the church currently sponsors a Food Pantry’s and Clothes Closet for people who are in need. People throughout Lawrence, Topeka, and Lecompton come to these events for clothes and food. The Stull community desires for an end to the cemetery legends that have resulted in negative attention and wanting the public to realize that they value the well-being of one another. Today, Stull and those in neighboring communities prioritize building a solid foundation for farming and transportation. Understanding these past cultural practices and current cultural techniques matter because it teaches people about how to adapt and progress through cultural and environmental adversity.

thread_title: Why the community matters

message: Why not look for the obvious, the rather common Southern German/Swiss German family name Stull; if none of the German inhabitants bore that name, maybe a locator did, or someone else connected to the immigrant group. Not a reliable source as there is no mentioning of any sources on the website itself is https://www.houseofnames.com/stull-family-crest but can be researched in scholarly literature as being related to Stoll. By the way: Whoever created that "coat of arms" cannot cite a source either. It is not registered in any official armorial but made up.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:C0:DF30:6F00:C070:911E:2290:D14D (talk) 18:25, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
