Just as the shades of night had fallen, at the end of the day, at the close of a week, "God laid his finger upon her and she slept." So closed the life of Mrs. Winnie R. TULL, relict of the late John TULL, who preceded her to the grave about four years ago. Mrs. TULL was stricken with paralysis Saturday afternoon and died that evening about 9 o'clock, at her home—Tower Hill, three miles from Kinston. She was 59 years of age. Before her marriage to Mr. John TULL, she was Winnie ROUNTREE JACKSON. She was the mother of Mrs. Geo. W. TULL, of near Kinston; Mrs. Geo. W. SUMRELL, of New Bern; Mr. John L. TULL, of Glendon, Moore county; and Messers. Ed R. TULL, Isaac M. TULL and Reid TULL, and Miss Katie TULL, who lived with her; and step-mother of Dr. Henry TULL, of Kinston, and Mrs. Geo. A. GRIMSLEY, of Greensboro. She was sister of Mrs. W. C. FIELDS. Mrs. TULL was a faithful member of the Christian church of Kinston, and was State secretary of the Christian Woman's Board of Missions since its organization, about twenty years ago. The remains were buried Sunday afternoon at 6 o'clock in the family plot in the cemetery here, in the presence of an immense crowd. At the grave there was scripture reading and a song, the service being conducted by Rev. W. G. JOHNSTON, pastor of the Christian church. Hers was a pure, sweet, noble and useful life, and the world is better for her having lived.
