Albert S. (b. ca 1885) & Indra Zebulon Williams (09 Nov 1872 - 13 Feb 1955) were brothers, sons of Daniel Zeblin & Levina Jane McFall Williams, grandsons of Zeke & Delilah Anne Bartram Williams (see preceding posts.)

Norman A. Pinney (1842-1929) school teacher and father-in-law of my 2nd cousin 3x removed (Charles Cole) was listed in 1863 on his draft card as 'crippled'.

Norman (b. ca 1885) & John (b. 1908) Hull were sons of Joseph Samuel Hull (b. 1850; shown here, far right), whose father Samuel in 1832 had left london, England at the age of 14 for America. Samuel served 20 months in the Union Army in the Civil War and in 1864 settled in Wharton township, calling the place Hullstown, later known as Hulls, post office Conrad. Samuel was converted to religion at a social gathering at the residence of Zeke Williams, grandfather of Albert and Indra. Sam died in 1896 at the home of his son Joseph. So there was at least a social relationship between the Williams and Hulls families; I haven't found a genetic one, yet.

In 1920, the Hulls lived in Smethport. Joseph ran a hotel in which John was a clerk; Norman and another brother, Robert, drove taxi, their 'own car.' Norman's wife Florence (Wagner) died in 1918 in Olean at the age of 30 (childbirth?), while Norman was in France, WWI.

Louis Godfrey Stocum (1878-1963), whose wife Marion Isabelle was the adopted daughter of M.S. and Cora Mann Thompson, would later become Registrar and then Commissioner of Potter County.

The Hulls and Williams' had roots in Wharton, but Norman Pinney came from Alma, Allegany County, NY to Coudersport prior to 1900.

SAMUEL HULL died at the home of his son, Mr. Joseph Hull, at Conrad, August 11th 1896, between 11 and 12 o'clock, p.m. About 10 o'clock he went to his room appearing to be in usual health. Some one, hearing a strange noise, went and found him in a dying condition. Joe Hull was at once called and went to the bedside of his father, who expired in about ten minutes.

Mr. Hull was born June 6, 1818 in the city of London, England. Came to America in 1832 when but 14 years old and was married in 1835. He and his wife lived happily for 35 years. The deceased was the father of two children, one having died some years ago, the other, Mr. Joseph Hull with whom the deceased made his home since the death of his wife in 1894.

Mr. Hull moved to this place in 1864 and worked hard in clearing up a piece of ground and called it Hulltown, which at the time of his death, is a thriving little place, the station being called Hulls, the post office, Conrad.

The deceased served twenty months in the late war, fighting bravely for his country.
Mr. Hull was converted at a social gathering at the home of Mr. Daniel Williams, father of Mr. Moses Williams [grandfather of Albert & Indra] and where the latter now lives.
The Methodist people often turned such gatherings into a prayer and praise service and Mr. Hull who had been seeking religion for some time had the light break in upon his soul at that time and was powerfully blessed. In 1870 he began to preach the Gospel and though not as eloquent as some ministers he was earnest and devout and for twenty years he was the instrument in God's hands of winning many souls to the cross.

He was a man who was well thought of by all who knew him and will be missed, not only by his relatives, but by a host of people all over Potter county.

He was always kind, affectionate, and thoughtful and was a man who loved to talk about the Bible, Christianity, and his hope of eternal glory. Since the death of his companion, while he was submissive to God's will, yet often longed to go home and be with her and all the redeemed host; and it is believed he has joined the great choir above where he will sing songs of Moses and the Lamb.

Mr. Joseph Hull and family have the sympathy of the community in this sad affliction. Funeral services were held by Rev. E. E. Mulliner, August 13th at the school house at Hulls, there being no church there.
