Friend A. Haviland Hull, one of the best known residents of Harford, died at his residence near Forest Hill on Wednesday of pernicious anemia, aged 69 years, and will be buried at the Friends Meeting House near there on Saturday morning.
Friend Hull was born in Elmira, New York, in 1837, but his parents moved to Harford in 1844, where he always afterwards resided. The most of his life was spent on his farm near Forest Hill, which he not only scientifically tilled, but with a marvelous love for nature and all her beauties, he devoted much time to botanical study and the rearing of choice fruit and beautiful shrubbery about his hospitable home.
In early life he married Miss Letitia Parry, of Pennsylvania, who has for a number of years been one of the lady visitors at our county almshouse and jail, and whose strong mind and sympathetic counsel through their long years of companionship have been invaluable to her husband. To them were born 3 sons, Messrs. Seneca P. Hull of Courtland, NY, John D. Hull of Baltimore and Abell A. Hull of Philadelphia.
In politics Mr. Hull was a pronounced Republican, being one of the few men in Harford who voted for Abraham Lincoln in 1860, and he was a man whose love of justice and country surpassed that of love of party, hence he was ready to censure error where ever it existed, and vote for a good Democrat rather than a bad Republican.
As a devoted Friend he has always been a zealous advocate of his denomination and for many years a recognized fluent speaker in behalf of his Maker. Scarcely a funeral occurred for miles around where he failed to sympathize with the afflicted, pay a fitting tribute to the departed, and aim to uplift the lives of all within his hearing. As a conversationalist he had few equals, and his cheerful, buoyant nature was perpetual sunshine alike to the young and the aged.
A vast concourse of friends from every section gathered to pay their last tribute to respect his memory. The Forest Hill meeting house in which services were conducted held but a small fraction of those present. Services were conducted by the following speakers: Revs. L. J. Sothoron, R. S. Barnes, and Mr. Parks, and Friend Seneca P. Broomell, of Baltimore, and at the grave Revs. L. J. Sothoron and Eugene Tucker both made prayers. Pall-
bearers were Messrs. Thaddeus C. Blair, Abel D. Wilson, Wm B. Roe, Andrew Reynolds, Seneca P. Broomell, and Joseph T. Hoopes.
