AMELIA E. HULL
Daughter of Oak Park's Second Resident Succumbs After Long Illness
Mrs. Ameilia E. Hull, aged 83, wife of the late Delos Hull, one time postmaster of Oak Park, passed away Monday, August 23, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Delia W. Tope, 925 Lake street. She had been in failing health for the past three years.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the residence of Mr. Orrin Kettlestrings, 411 North Oak Park avenue and interment took place in Forest Home cemetery.
Surviving Mrs. Hull are her sisters, Mrs. Delia W. Tope and Mrs. Sophie E. Furbeck of Oak Park, and a brother, Mr. Judson L. Whaples of California.
The death of Mrs. Hull marks the passing of a woman who had lived to see the beautiful and prosperous Oak Park of today emerge from a veritable wilderness. She was born in Oak Park, the daughter of Mr. Reuben and Mrs. Margaret Jan Spitzer Whaples, the second pioneers who had the courage to build a home on the present site of Oak Park. Mr. Joseph Kettlestrings was the first settler, coming here from England in 1831 and pre-empting the quarter section of land bounded by Harlem, Chicago, and Oak Park avenues, and the Chicago and North Western Railway. Shortly after, in 1845, the Whales family took up their residence in the present thriving village. Their first home was a sturdy log cabin at the corner of Harlem avenue and Lake street. Later they moved to a home where the First Presbyterian church now stands. Mrs. Hull was one of a family of nine children, most of whom married early pioneers and about whom much of the colorful history of the development of Oak Park is centered, many of the first families of the village through some channels being related to her.
