  August 2007 Sacred to the memory of Captain Joseph Hull who departed this life June ye 12 A D 1778 æ 85. He left an aged widow to mourn ye loss of a most kind and tender husband deeply afflicted children and other relatives to drink in silence the bitter cup of sorrow for the loss of a pious and benevolent parent. By his death the poor were deprived of a most cordial and liberal benefactor; his neighbors and friends of a wise discreet amiable and exemplary Christian. He lived universally beloved and is now gone to receive a crown of immortal glory. Orcutt, Rev. Samuel, History of the Old Town of Derby, Connecticut, 1642-1880, (Springfield, Massachusetts, Press of Springfield Printing Company, 1880) page 809 |
