Emma Scull

Published in The Rochester Sentinel Friday, June 15, 1894

It was with universal feelings of sorrow that the announcement was heard Wednesday that death had come at early dawn and ended the earthly pilgrimage of Mrs. James F. SCULL. She had been an invalid for many years, much of the time hardly able to get about, but all who met her either in her home or in public, were impressed with her superior intellect and kindly, loving disposition. Her maiden name was Emma YOUNT, and she was born in Montgomery county, Indiana, November 4, 1841. In 1860 she was united in marriage with her bereaved husband, and has assisted in raising six children, all of whom survive her. She united with the Methodist church in her youth and sustained to the end an active relationship to the church. Mrs. Scull came to Rochester twelve years ago, when Professor SCULL accepted superintendency of our city schools, and has since made this her home. The funeral was held at the family residence yesterday afternoon, conducted by Rev. A. T. BRIGGS.
