"Dr. O. Hull

(Special to the Picayune)

Shreveport, La., March 6. - Dr. O. Hull, of Greenwood, died at the hospital last night. He came from Greenwood to be treated. He was suffering with appendicitis, and realized his condition - an operation, with the chances against recovery, was his only hope. He recognized to the gravity of his case and submitted to the inevitable, and died soon after the operation had been performed. Dr. Hull was a most worthy young man, aged about 28 years. He was from Nashville, Tenn., and, after having graduated he came to Shreveport and about two years ago settled in Greenwood."
