Miss Amelia Shull of Danube, daughter of Jacob I Shull, has become violently insane and was taken to the Utica Insane asylum, Saturday for treatment. This case revives the story of the tragic death of Herbert A. Stevens, which occurred during the summer of 1878. The young man was educated at the Little Falls academy and resided several miles from the home of Miss Shull. He was well liked and had a wide acquaintance among the young men. He and Miss Shull were engaged to be married. One Sunday morning in July he was at the young lady's home, talking over the expected happy event, and expressed the desire of being married within a very short and unreasonable time for the young lady. She having informed him in a pleasant manner that it would be impossible to be in readiness before the following fall, he immediately passed out of the room upon the plazza and took his life with a pistol. Much excitement occurred after the shooting, which had nearly been forgotten, when the condition of this unfortunate lady revives the subject. Mrs. Jacob Shull, who was a lady with a melancholy disposition, was found one day in a dep well on the same farm about a year after the death of Stevens and the coroner's jury rendered a verdict that it was a case of suicide. she jumped into the well feet foremost, and succeeded in turning herself over in the bottom, so death resulted from drowning. It is reported that Miss Shull was engaged to a gentleman residing a short distance from Little Falls.GIVEN NAMES: Also shown as Lana

One Sunday morning in July he was at the young lady's home, talking over the expected happy event, and expressed the desire of being married within a very short and unreasonable time for the young lady. She having informed him in a pleasant manner that it would be impossible to be in readiness before the following fall, he immediately passed out of the room upon the plazza and took his life with a pistol. Much excitement occurred after the shooting, which had nearly been forgotten, when the condition of this unfortunate lady revives the subject. Mrs. Jacob Shull, who was a lady with a melancholy disposition, was found one day in a dep well on the same farm about a year after the death of Stevens and the coroner's jury rendered a verdict that it was a case of suicide. she jumped into the well feet foremost, and succeeded in turning herself over in the bottom, so death resulted from drowning. It is reported that Miss Shull was engaged to a gentleman residing a short distance from Little Falls.

Joshua died in 1900. Here is the info from Thorp of Montgomery & Herkimer Co., NY
Prof. Joshua Thorp, born about 1825, probably in Charleston, Montgomery Co., New York; married Catharine "Caty" Shull, born about 11 May 1825 in Danube, Herkimer County, New York, died 8 June 1853, buried in Rockwood Cemetery, Rockwood, town of Ephratah, Fulton Co., New York.
Joshua is said to have spent most of his life in teaching. He was for some time principal of the academy at Onondaga Valley, New York, and also of the High School at Watertown, Jefferson County. The publication entitled "Oppenheim-Ephratah Celebrated" (1998) indicates that Joshua "Thorpe" was once a teacher at the Crum Creek School, District #6, located in Rockwood. He was a very successful teacher and lecturer, and was in the War of the Rebellion.
In about 1858, Joshua relocated with his children to Indian Castle, Town of Danube, Herkimer Co., New York.
Sometime between 1859 and the end of the Civil War, Joshua removed to the state of Illinois.
In 1870, at age 44, Joshua was enumerated on June 15th as a resident of the city of Polo, Ogle Co., Illinois, (west of Chicago). With him was a new wife, 27-year-old Katie Thorp, born in Illinois. (There is record of a Sarah C. Blanchard marrying a Joshua Thorp on 26 December 1864 in Peoria Co., Illinois, but there is no evidence to suggest this is the same couple). Also with them was a daughter, Carrie Thorp, age three, born in Illinois. Carrie's age and reported birthplace is evidence that Joshua had removed to and remarried in Illinois by 1866.
In 1880, Joshua Thorp, age 55, "Teacher" was enumerated in the Village of Rodgers [a.k.a. Rogers] Park, Cook Co., Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, dwelling 386, with an Irish family. The heads of the household were John Murphy, age 35, born in Illinois of Irish parentage and his wife Lizzie Murphy, age 25, also born in Illinois and of Irish parentage. With them were their son Edward Murphy, age 1, also born in Illinois, and Ann Carroll, age 78, born in Ireland. Wiith him was Carrie Thorp, age 13, "at school," who was born in Illinois to a father from New York and a mother from Illinois. Sadly, the census indicates by this year Joshua was once agian a widower.
The suburb of Rogers Park was annexed into the City of Chicago in 1893. No doubt Joshua obtained employment in one of the several schools or universities there. He died in 1900 and was buried in Joliet, in neighboring Will Co., Illinois. He does not appear in the census that year.

In noticing the departure of Mr. Norman Shull, we are reminded of the uncertainty of life, and the fact that the bounds of every individual are so set that no one can pass them. Mr. Shull has apparently been in good health until this winter, when he began to fail until last Wednesday afternoon when he departed from this life at the early age of 45 years. His disease is thought to have been disorders of the kidneys. For many years past Mr. Shull has been employed by a suspender firm to act as traveling agent, which he did with great success. He was born in the town of Danube, from whence he removed to this place and afterwards married a daughter of the late Jacob W. Nellis. Mr Shull has resided here since his marriage. He had a great circle of acquaintances and was much respected by all of them. He leaves a widow and two sons to mourn his loss. The funeral will occur at his late residence tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.
