GEORGE HULL On March 7, 1964, there pass- ed from our midst a long-time resident of Port Perry, Born in England, Mr. George Hull came alone to Canada in 1908, at the age of fourteen. The following three years he spent in Parry Sound and New Hamburg, Ontario. In 1911 he entered the employ of the T. Eaton Co., of Toronto. He joined the Missisauga Horse Cavalry Unit stationed in that city. When the First World War broke out in 1914, he transfer- red to the 48th Highlanders and shipped to France. He took part in several of the severest bat- tles in the early stages of the war. In 1916, seriously wounded, at Vimy Ridge, he was sent to an army hospital in England and later returned to Canada for further treatment at Christie Street Hospital in Toronto. He completed his education while a patient there. The next few years he spent as an out-patient of the hospi- tal, residing at Lorne Park, Ontario with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Mark Hull newly ar- rived from England. He also spent some time during this period of his life attending the Moody Bible Institute in Chi- cago. Returning to Lorne Park, he helped establish a Baptist Church there. While engaged in this work, he met and mar- . ried Lylia Shaver also one of the founders of the church. In 1922, Mr. and Mrs. Hull bought the present home on: the hill and took up residence there. . Always avidly interested in gardening, he worked for a short time for the late Mr. F. A. Kent, and the two developed a lasting friendship. Mr. Hull also assisted the late Dr. W. A. Sangster in his dental office, and here ,too, a friendship grew. " Finally discharged from the Christie Street Hospital in 1930, Mr. Hull took over the duties of postmaster in Port Perry, where he remained until his re- tirement in 1968. Although in poor health for the past few years, he took great delight in his garden, and continued to draw pleasure from this activity. A deeply religi- ous man, he read prodigiously, studying the works of many re- ligious authors. He enjoyed vi- siting and chatting with his neighbours. Mr. Hull leaves his widow and three children, Bruce, who suec- ceeded him as postmaster, Doris residing at home, and Joyce, (Mrs. Grant MacMillan of Weston). Right grand-children will cherish his memory. He was pre-deceased by his brother Arthur who fell in World War L ' : Many friends and neighbours paid final respect to Mr. Hull as he rested at the funeral home of McDermott - Panabaker.
