- 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.
