Eula E. Shull

GOLDENDALE, Wash.- Eula Evangeline Shull, 87, died Friday, Sept. 20, 1985, at 
Goldendale, Wash.

The funeral is scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday, at the Knosher-Erdman Funeral Home 
in Goldendale, followed by burial at the Centerville Cemetery.

She was born Oct. 12, 1897, in Wakefield, Kan., to Frank and Lorinda (Jackson) 
Draper.  Her mother died when Eula was 18 months old, and she was raised by 
foster parents, Josh and Nellie Parrack.

On Jan. 23, 1918, she married John N. Shull at Wakefield, Kan. The couple farmed
in Kansas and Colorado before coming in 1940 to Goldendale, where they operated
a dairy farm with their son, Ray. Later they purchased the John Deere Implement 
Co., and operated it for several years. They also ran ranches in the Springcreek,
Centerville, and Goldendale areas. 

In 1970, they retired and moved to Goldendale because of her husband’s failing 
health. He died in 1973. 

While living in Centerville, Bula was active in the Centerville Grange and the 
Thimble Club. She also worked as a Avon representative for several years. 

Survivors include a daughter, Althea Watts of Hermiston; three sons: Ray of 
Goldendale, Darold of Spokane, and John C. of Hermiston; four sisters; Zola 
Headman of Tulsa Okla., Blanche Lillienthal of Albany, N.Y., Emma Walno of 
Loveland Colo., and Elsie Sargent of Oldsberg, Kan.; 18 grandchildren, 28 
great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. One daughter, a brother 
and two sisters died earlier.
