Mr. Newell H. Tullis Dead

After a long and lingering illness Mr. N.H. Tullis departed this life last 
Wednesday afternoon at 5:30 o’clock at his home near Draneville.  He was 
stricken with a stroke of paralysis about two years ago from which he never 
recovered.  He had been confined to his bed and helpless for the past fifteen 
weeks and death no doubt was a great relief to his sufferings.  Mr. Tullis was 
sixty-six years old last March, had been a member of the Methodist church a 
long time and lived a good Christian life.  He was a member of the Masonic 
fraternity and was buried with the honors of that order at Church Hill 
yesterday afternoon.  A number of Masons from Buena Vista went down to attend 
the burial.
