“Aunt B” Stull Dies Today; Was Nearing 103rd Birthday “Aunt B” Stull died in her sleep this morning.
She would have observed her 103rd birthday in 10 days - on Friday, May 23rd.
Death came to Mrs. Rebecca Stull at 7:45 a.m. at her home, 232 West Main Street. Her nurse and companion the past four years, Miss Myrtle Moser, was at her bedside.
The energetic, philosophical centenarian who had lived most of her life in Waynesboro, had survived two severe illnesses the past two years. She suffered the final set back on Sunday morning, and continued to sink slipping into a coma yesterday.
Excerpt from death notice, published Waynesboro Record Herald, May 14, 1952 Mrs. Rebecca Stull will be laid to rest at Burns Hill Cemetery tomorrow afternoon, just one week before she was to celebrate her 103rd birthday.
Mrs. Stull was the eldest child of the late Elder Jacob F. and Elizabeth Bonebrake Oller, and was born on a farm at Roadside, near Waynesboro, May 23, 1849. Her girlhood was spent on farms in Franklin county and at Quincy, where her family settled during the Civil War.
Among the country schools she attended was a select school at Quincy conducted by a Professor Sheperd. She was one of 20 students enrolled in his school.
At Quincy, Rebecca Oller met her future husband, Columbus C. Stull, who was at that time a commission merchant with well-established routes to the Baltimore and Washington markets.
She was married at her parents home in Quincy on February 21, 1867. They established their home in Chambersburg, moving a year later to Waynesboro where they made their permanent residence. Mr. and Mrs. Stull had one son, Harry, who died in 1894.
When Mrs. Stull's sister, Mrs. Annie Oller Dubbel, died in 1889, Mrs. Stull and her husband moved into the home of the bereaved husband, S. E. Dubbell, and made their permanent home there. Mrs. Stull help to rear all three of Mr. Dubbel’s children.
In February 1917, Mr. and Mrs. Stull celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Mr. Stull died in 1918, aged 91.
After her marriage Mrs. Stull united with the Church of the Brethren, Waynesboro, but many years ago she became a worshipper at the Presbyterian Church, the services of which she was faithful in attending as long as her health permitted. She was a member of the Thomas H. West Bible Class of the Presbyterian Sunday School.
Mrs. Stull is survived by a sister, Mrs. P. Daniel Loizeaux, Philadelphia; and these nephews and nieces: Miss. Bessie Rohrer, Miss Rello Oller, J. F. Oller, Mrs. R. E. Stouffer, all of Waynesboro; J.
