Biography - Rosina Kull
MRS. ROSINA KULL, who resides on section 4, Rose Township, is one of the
representative women of Shelby County, and was born in Germany June 20,
1833. Her maiden name was Rosina Walker and her marriage with the late
Christian Kull took place in Fairfield County, Ohio. He was born in
Lancaster, Ohio, January 13, 1832. Their first settlement as a married
couple was made in Hocking County, that State, and there they continued to
make their home until 1864.
During the year just mentioned this young couple removed to Shelly County,
Ill., and settled upon a farm where the widow now resides. Here Mr. Kull was
actively engaged in farming which he carries on successfully until his death
which transpired October 8, 1881. Both he and his wife early became
identified with the Lutheran Church, in which they were devoted and hearty
workers.
Mrs. Kull is the mother of seven children: Magdalena who is the wife of
William Wendling; Helen who married Henry Fossler and died in Nebraska,
September 25, 1890; Mary; John, who married Miss Mary Bowman; Jacob F., who
operates the farm and was married in Rose Township, February 12, 1890, to
Miss Julia Pauschert who is the mother of one child — Rosa May; Mattie who
is the wife of Augustus Pauschert and Drucilla.
The quiet and unostentatious lives of this worthy mother and her excellent
children are of interest to all who understand that the best prosperity of
the community, is derived from the homes within its borders which are not
notable for public affairs, but in which is carried on an industrious and
honorable existance tending to the preservation of society and the
prosperity of the commonwealth.
