 MRS. L. D. HULL
Account of Death of Former Resident of Latrobe
The following account of the death of Mrs. L. D. Hull who lived in Latrobe for 
several years, her husband conducting a livery stable here, is taken from 
yesterdays Saltsburg Press. It will be interesting to the many friends whom 
the deceased had in this place:----
On Monday morning, Feb 29, 1904, about 10 o'clock, the parting spirit of Mrs. 
Eliza McClain Portser Hull took its flight at her home in Springdale. She was 
age 38 years and is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm J. Portser, of 
Saltsburg, her husband and two children, William and Rose age 13 and 7 years 
respectfully. Besides these she is survived by three brothers---Harry and 
Charles of Philadelphia; William of Pittsburg; also one sister, Mrs. Robert J. 
Irvin, of Saltsburg.
Funeral services were held at he late home on Tuesday evening conducted by 
Rev. Bolinger, pastor of the United Presbyterian church , of Springdale, who 
was a firm friend of Mrs Hull and who had ministered to her through all her 
serious illness. Mrs. Hull was a member of the Presbyterian church but in the 
absence of that denomination in Springdale Rev. Bolinger was ever ready to 
assist.
Mrs. Hull was married about 18 years ago to L. D. Hull. For over a year past 
she has been an intense sufferer with an incurable disease, sarcoma. The best 
medial authorities in Pittsburg and elsewhere were consulted but the ravages  
of the terrible disease  could not be stayed in its death-dealing, cancerous 
course. Even a few weeks ago, when it was learned that radium could be applied 
to the cure of such diseases, an effort was made to attempt restoration with 
the aid of that new and wonderful discovery, but owing to the experimental 
condition in which the article is yet handled, it could not be put to the 
test. LATROBE BULLETIN Friday, March 4, 1904 Thank you to Kathy of the Adams 
Memorial Library of Latrobe for her help.

Additional Comments:
Eliza's husband was Levi D Hull the son of George D and Rebecca (Scott) Hull. 
After her death he married Agnes M Patterson and had another child, a daughter 
Ruth.
