    Herbert S. Tull Dies Following Operation
    The news of the death of Herbert S. Tull in a Lexington hospital last Thursday night came as a shock to relatives and friends, for though his condition from the first was critical, he was believed improving. An operation for a perforated ulcer of the stomach had been performed Friday previous, but peritonitis develop, proving fatal.
    Herbert had been raised in this community and the number of his friends is best attest by the unusually large gathering for the funeral services Sunday afternoon. The Methodist church could not hold the assemblage, a large number standing outside.

    Notes:

    Tom Tull Obituary
    Tom was born in Arapaho, Nebraska on his family's farm in 1921. He lived there until 1935, when the Republican River flooded out his family and many of their neighbors. The family moved to town, where they continued to live for many more years. Tom was a football player and a State Championship competitor in the pole-vault while he was at Arapaho High School, graduating in 1939. After graduation he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps (C.C.C.) for a year, and then went to Denver, Colorado in 1940 to pursue an education. It was there that he met his future wife, Margaret Hill. After the attack on Pearl Harbor in December of 1941, Tom joined the United States Coast Guard and was stationed in Oakland, California. Margaret joined him there, where they were married and spent the war years. After the war they returned to Denver, where they had their only child, John, in 1946. Tom and Margaret lived in and around the Denver area for the next 47 years, except for one year in Phoenix, Arizona. Tom worked primarily in accounting, but also spent a few years in real estate and landscaping. Road trips throughout the Colorado Rocky Mountains were Tom and Margaret's favorite recreation. In 1993 they moved to Washington State to be near their son, John, daughter-in-law, Charlene, and several grandchildren and great- grandchildren. Tom liked to golf, so they lived across the street from the Capitol City Golf Course for many years. Tom and Margaret loved the ocean, so they took frequent trips to the coast, especially enjoying the Ocean Shores area and the North Coast of Oregon. There will be a graveside service on Wednesday, August 3, 2005, at 2:00 p.m. at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent, Washington.

  13. 25.  Duane Shields TullDuane Shields Tull Descendancy chart to this point (10.Herbert2, 1.Ellen1) was born on 21 Jun 1923 in Arapahoe, Fremont County, Wyoming; died on 29 Jan 1926 in Arapahoe, Furnas County, Nebraska; was buried in Arapahoe Cemetery, Arapahoe, Furnas County, Nebraska.

    Notes:

    Child Dies From Burns
    A very distressing accident happened late last Friday evening which caused the death of Duane, two-and-a-half year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Tull, living northwest of Arapahoe. A boiler of hot water had been set out in the yard to be used in putting meat down in brine, and the youngster, unnoticed and unnoticing, was pulling his wagon, walking backward and fell into the boiler. Medical aid was secured at once and although the water had been standing outside about an hour, the burns which were confined to the back, were sever and the baby passed away about five hours later.
    Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock from the Methodist church, Rev. W.S. Morris officiating. Special music was furnished by the quartet composed of Ralph Murdoch, L. Clyde Prime, C.M. Evans and Ralph Sohn, accompanied by William McCrory. Interment in the Arapahoe cemetery.
    Duane Shields Tull was born at Arapahoe June 21, 1923 and passed away January 29, 1926 at the tender age of two years, seven months and eight days. It is consoling to his parents to know that God with His Infinite love called him peacefully to be with Him. Duane, with his bright and loveable disposition had a place in his home that can never be filled. He leaves to mourn his sorrowing parents, Herbert and Elfreda; one brother, Tommy, a sister, Marjorie Ann; his grandparents and other relatives.
    The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved parents in their irreparable loss.
    The Public Mirror, Arapahoe, Nebraska. Thursday, 4 February 1926.
