Niles Republican I (Niles, Michigan), Saturday, December 30, 1865, page 3, col. 4, microfilm Niles District Library
Died—In Niles, Michigan, on the evening of the 29th of November, 1865, after a lingering illness, JULIA E., Daughter of Isaac and Mary M. Hull, formerly of N.Y., aged 20 years, 6 months and 13 days.
The above announcement will carry grief to a large circle of friends. The news of her death coming so sudden, to many is but illustrative of the workings of an all wise providence.
The mystic cloud that bound her to his world has been suddenly severed—and the loving spirit that made her so many warm friends, has been wafted across the dark waters and ushered into its maker's presence.
While we mourn with her parents and friends, her early death, we must not forget that God is just, that in this hour of sad bereavement, his mercy will not forsake us, but bowing in mere submission to the changeless one, may not mine but “thy will be done.”
Weep not for those who sink within the arms of death,
Ere yet the chilling, wintry breath
Of sorrow o'er them blows.
But weep for those who here remain
The mournful heritors of pain,
Condemned in ere each bright joy fade,
And mock grief's melancholy shade
Flung o'er hopes fairest rose.
