Shull, a pioneer Adams county apple grower, died at his home in Franklin township near Cashtown on Monday. He was stricken with apoplexy on Friday, and was aged 75 years, 3 months and 25 days. He was born and lived his entire life on the farm on which he died. He was a successful farmer and fruit grower, owning the beautiful thirty acre orchard on the Lincoln Way near Cashtown. He was so attached to the home place and the development he had helped to produce there that a year or so ago when he was offered more than $50,000 for his fruit farm his answer was that he would sooner have the farm than money. The funeral was held on Wednesday with services at Flohr’s Church and interment in the cemetery adjoining. He leaves his wife who, before marriage, was Miss Mary Hartman. Also one daughter and one son, Mrs. H. W. Deardorff, of Philadelphia, and Robert Shull of Franklin township. Gettysburg Compiler – Saturday, September 1, 1917
