(The following is a small portion of a big news article about 
Berthoud.  I am only transcribing the bio part).

In the following columns we are pleased to give the pictures and 
personal sketches of a number of the people who assisted in 
making this beautiful and prosperous county what it is:

Levy R. Hull

       Another man, who, while he has not been in the state as 
long as some, has taken an important part in the upbuilding of 
the country.  That is Levy R. Hull, who was born in Adams County, 
Illinois near Plainville, September9, 1857.
       In his father’s family were twelve children, eight boys 
and four girls. John E. Hull, his father was a quite influential 
man in his community and county.  For several years he held the 
office of County Supervisor, serving on that board three terms.  
L.R. moved to Colorado in the spring of 1888 and farmed seven 
years on the W.T. Bransom place.   Then he bought a quarter 
section of land which he improved very nicely.  It was on account 
of his wife’s health that his removal to Colorado was made.  With 
sickness in his family and about four dollars in his pocket he 
arrived in the state, arranging with creditors for future payment 
of a debt of $200.  This he settled as soon as he was able and by 
well directed efforts reached a substantial financial basis.  
Last fall he sold the improved half of his quarter-section to 
good advantage.  On the other eighty he at once began improvement 
for a home.  He is now an independent farmer and is enjoying the 
result of former efforts.
       Mrs. Hull’s maiden name was Rebecca Bransom, born November 
22, 1859.  They were married December 3, 1888.  One child was 
raised, a daughter.  Her name is Leiah H., now the wife of Henry 
Millard.
       Mr. Hull has never taken much interest in politics; he 
never neglects the duties of citizenship in that respect.  He is 
a member of Loveland Lodge, K of P.
