DIED - At the residence of her sister, in Janesville, WI., Sept 3d, of Consumption, Susan, widow of the late John F. Bull, of Clayton county.

The remains were brought to Garnavillo, and rest along side of her husband.

~North Iowa Times, Wednesday, September 16, 1868; pg 2

-- --
Notes: She and her husband may be buried in one of the Garnavillo cemeteries, although neither appear on published burial lists.

Additional information:
-- John's obit does not give burial place, obit indicates he was from Clayton at time of death (1867), so it is also possible that they are buried at Clayton.
--Both John & Susan are listed as members in the late 1860's of the Methodist Church of the Garnavillo, National & Clayton congregations (Garnavillo, Gem of the Prairie, 1988, Roggman; pg 187)
-- The Clayton County Journal, Nov. 3, 1869 published an Original Notice, naming Samuel Bull, Joseph Bull, Wm Bull, Ann Dripps & John Purvis, heirs of John F. Bull and Susan Bull, deceased (see full notice in the online archives of the Journal).
-- Food for thought: Ann Dripps was d/o Francis & Elizabeth Bull per her 1901 obituary. Ann's father MAY have been John F. Bull's uncle.
