Obituary from the Britt Tribune (undated, but likely to be April 19th, 1917, which would have been the next publishing date following William's date of death):
DEATH OF WM. PRULL
On Sunday, April 15, at Dolliver, Iowa, occurred the death of William Prull, a former Hancock county resident, at the age of 37 [sic - other evidence suggests that it should be 34] years.

He leaves besides his wife three daughters, one son, five brothers and four sisters, beside other relatives.
