"WILLIAM AND LEONORA HULL
by Jean Hepler, Leonora and Gerald Hull
William Hull was born August 5, 1878 at Boon, Iowa, Leonara
Butka was born October 15, 1881 at Fairbury, Nebraska. They
were married at Butte, Nebraska April 25, 1900. They arrived
in Montana for the first time in the winter of 1907. They, with
their three children, Gerald age 5, Joyce age 3, and Florence a
baby, came to Mondak by train....
Nora's sister, Myrtle, and her husband, Alffie Brunner, lived
at Mondak. Alffie ran the ferryboat. Occasionally the families
would visit one another. Alffie did not own a car but he had the
use of Mr. Sonechal's car and the highlight of one of their visits
was the time Alffie took them all to Fort Buford in this car.
There they saw soldiers, and Gerald never forgot it for it
was his first ride in a car, and his first time to see the cavalry.
Another and better reason he had for remembering the trip in a
buggy, and Gerald, feeling very big, decided to walk behind
the buggy instead of riding. Bill always had a great sense of
humor, so he whipped the horses into a run and left Gerald
quite some way behind. Instead of staying on the road Gerald
ran into a field of wheat and hid. About two hours were spent
hunting for him, and the whipping he received when he was
found made a much greater impression on him than either th
fort or the car ride."
