Hull had managed the Dutchess Manufacturing Company, which in prosperous years did an annual business of $3,000,000.
A short time ago she asked that when she died the plant be kept running, except during the funeral, as she did not want the 300 workers to be deprived of even, a single day's wages.
Additional Info:

The various newspaper reports state that in 1921 she purchased a resort at Upton Lake for her employees for use all year round.
