Fennimore Times
MAY 21, 1902-John Cull
With the death of John Cull, a pioneer citizen of Grant County has passed 
away. He was born in County Down,. Ireland, in 1832, coming to America in 1852 
and settling on the farm on Irish Ridge which was his home continuously
until he took up his residence in the Village of Fennimore last March.
For three years he served with honor in the Union Army, being a member of Co. 
I, 20th Wisconsin. He was a brave faithful soldier, never shrieking his duty, 
but serving his country with great devotion, His comrades all held him in the 
highest honor and respect, and he was seldom missing at their reunions.
He was married in 1866 to Ann Woods, the loving and faithful wife who survives 
him. Eight children were born to them, two of whom, Mary and Agnes, are 
deceased. The others are Harry of Sugar City, Colorado, Cassie (Mrs. Ferd 
Graser) of Fennimore; Rose Mrs. Peter Glynn of Anderson; John, Theresa and 
Mamie at home. He also leaves two brothers Michael and James of Mt. Hope, and 
two sisters, Mrs. Thos. Garvey and Mrs. B. McQuigan of Woodman.
Mr. Cull has not been in good health for some years, but his illness was not 
supposed to be serious. Two weeks ago he contracted a bad cold, which 
developed into pneumonia and from this he died last Saturday morning.
The funeral Monday from St. Mary's church with Father Feld officiating, called 
out a very large attendance. The remains were taken to St. Lawrence's 
Cemetery, Mt. Hope, for interment.
The deceased was an exemplary citizen in every respect, a through Christian, a 
kind father and husband. Few enjoyed so thoroughly the goodwill
respect and confidence of the community. He was a loyal true friend, 
unostentatious in his way but kind hearted and genial in all his relations
with others. A host of friends will mourn and sincerely regret his departure, 
for truly he was a good man gone to his reward.



Additional Comments:
There is a error in the article on year married it should be 1865. Per Grant 
County records. (correction by S. Panka).
