DAVID HULL, farmer, P.O. Moline, was born in Augusta County, Va., in 1830.  In 1853, he emigrated to Vigo County, Ind., remaining there until 1870, when he came to Kansas, locating in Elk County, then Howard, and took a claim on Section 26, Township 31, Range 10, there were no improvements then, and he was forty-five miles from market, and had to go there for all of his supplies. He has about one-half of his place under plow and the balance he uses for pasture.  He has a nice grove which he planted and a good orchard.  He is engaged in raising stock, and has done well since he located in Kansas.  He was married in 1863, in Vigo County, Ind., to Miss Mary F. Gripps, of that county.  They were blessed with two children--Manetta J. and Mary S.  Mrs. Hull died in July 1866
