Hull Flower Memorial Fund Established at Elizabeth Ave Church
Following the death of their son Vernon A. Hull, Lemuel A. Hull and his wife set up a memorial fund at Elizabeth Ave Presbyterian Church to provide flowers on Sundays when no other flowers are donated. Hull, a former Air Reduction Co. vice president and Hillside National Bank director, supports church decor. Township reports note early practice of printing annual pamphlets with financials, unpaid taxes, and education board finances.
