Biography

Hull was born on August 14, 1807 in Mercer County, Pennsylvania.[1][2] He was the son of Bashara Hull and Rhoda Higbee-Hull.[1]

In 1856 Hull ran for seat in the Minnesota Territorial Legislature as a representative in the Territorial House's eight district.[3] Hull ultimately won the 1856 house election on October 9, 1856 and served a single term in the 7th Minnesota Territorial Legislature.[3] At the time Hull was listed as residing in Carimona Township in southern Fillmore County, Minnesota, the eight district at the time represented Fillmore County, Houston County, and Mower County.[3][4][5][6] Hull was the chair of the agricultural and manufacturing committee and the territorial affairs committee.[3]

Hull was later elected to the Minnesota Senate on October 13, 1857 and served a single term in the 1st Minnesota Legislature from December 2, 1857 to December 6, 1859 representing Fillmore County.[3][7] During the first legislative session Hull was the chair of the public lands committee, and a member of the agricultural and manufacturing and Indian affairs committees.[3]

Following his term in the Minnesota Senate Hull moved to Marshalltown, Iowa in 1861 with his family.[8] Hull died on February 17, 1899 and is buried in the Riverside Cemetery in Marshalltown.[2][9]
