Eula E. Shull
GOLDENDALE, Wash.- Eula Evangeline Shull, 87, died Friday, Sept. 20, 1985, at Goldendale, Wash.
The funeral is scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday, at the Knosher-Erdman Funeral Home in Goldendale, followed by burial at the Centerville Cemetery.
She was born Oct. 12, 1897, in Wakefield, Kan., to Frank and Lorinda (Jackson) Draper. Her mother died when Eula was 18 months old, and she was raised by foster parents, Josh and Nellie Parrack.
On Jan. 23, 1918, she married John N. Shull at Wakefield, Kan. The couple farmed in Kansas and Colorado before coming
in 1940 to Goldendale, where they operated a dairy farm with their son, Ray. Later they purchased the John Deere Implement Co., and operated it for several years. They also ran ranches in the Springcreek, Centerville, and Goldendale areas.
In 1970, they retired and moved to Goldendale because of her husband’s failing health. He died in 1973.
While living in Centerville, Bula was active in the Centerville Grange and the Thimble Club. She also worked as a Avon representative for several years.
Survivors include a daughter, Althea Watts of Hermiston; three sons: Ray of Goldendale, Darold of Spokane, and John C. of Hermiston; four sisters; Zola Headman of Tulsa Okla., Blanche Lillienthal of Albany, N.Y., Emma Walno of Loveland Colo., and Elsie Sargent of Oldsberg, Kan.; 18 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. One daughter, a brother and two sisters died earlier.
