Evidently her husband: "Death of John R. HULL.--By a private telegram received in this city, we learn that this gentleman died of small pox, in New Orleans, on the morning of March 30th, 1870, aged about fifty-five years. He came to Columbus about the year 1845, and up to the close of the war was one of the most active and successful business men. He commenced business among us as one of the firm of P. McLaren & Co., and in that was well as in the firms of J. R. Hull & Co., Hull, Duck & Co., and Hull & Duck, he was ever conspicuous amongst our heaviest dealers. By his sagacity and business capital, which, during the war, he like other prudent men, invested in cotton. But having stored it in our several city warehouses, it only added fuel to the flames kindled by the torch bearers of General Wilson's army in 1865. Since the war Mr. HULL spent much of his time in this city and vicinity, endeavoring to settle up his old business affairs, his principal attention, however being given to the interest of the New Orleans house of Hull & Briggs, established some four years ago. He left here but a short time since for that city in excellent health and high hopes--both alas! to be suddenly blighted. He leaves a wife--a most estimable lady--and several children, who are now residing in Summerville, Ala. [in Lee County, just above what became Phenix City - Summerville Road went to that community], some three miles from the city, to whom we tender our sincere sympathy in this dark hour of their sore bereavement. [Columbus (GA) Enquirer newspaper, Thursday, 31 MAR 1870, p. 3. The Columbus Sun newspaper of the same date added, "Mr. John HULL, well known in this city, died in New Orleans at 4 1/2 a. m. of 'bastard small pox.' The disease is said to be milder than the ordinary small pox."]
