Mr. Tully was a native of Ireland, having been [born] there in 1834. He came to America in 1860 with his family locating in New York and later in Philadelphia, Pa. He served his country in the Civil war, and after the war he engaged in the tailoring business.

Coming to Bismarck in 1870 Mr. Tully engaged in this line of business. He had lived almost continuously in Bismarck since that time. In December 1919, he went to Philadelphia to spend the winter with his son, Joseph Tully.

A member of St. Mary’s Pro-Cathedral Mr. Tully was known as a very religious man. He is survived by two sons and two daughters, Mrs. John Kennedy, of Balboa, Canal Zone, Panama; Mrs. Fred Dobler, of Seattle, Wash., Joseph Tully of Spokane, Wash., and Charles C. Tully of Philadelphia.
