1895 Oct. 11 - Highland Recorder News

As we were searching through The Highland Recorder, Monterey, Highland County, Virginia, dated 11 October 1895, we found on page three the funeral services of Johnnie Hull at Vanderpool. I am not sure the relationship of Johnnie Hull to my Hull's of Vanderpool, but I need to check this out.

The funeral services of Johnnie Hull were largely attended at Vanderpool, on Sunday last. The place of worship was much too small for the congregation of friends and relatives that attended. It was becoming more apparent that a church was much needed for the congregations that worship there. The singers from Straight Creek, led by Mr. Wm. Samples, attended the services and added much to the interest of the occasion. Johnnie Hull was much thought of by all who knew him and especially by the lung men; and those from STraight Creek did their last act of kindness by the part they took in the funeral services. They were assisted by Capt. Matheny. The hymns were appropriate and well sung and found response in the hearts the large congregation.

Also on this page there is mention of Lockridge, Trimble, Dever Waybright, Arbogast Yost, and other Highland residents and happenings.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
