PETER K. HULL, M. D., came to Monticello in 1841,and lived there until the death of his wife, who had been Mary J. Huston, in 1849. For several years thereafter he lived with his children, and then in 1855 moved back to Monticello, buying a home, where he died November 20, 1859. During 1852 and 1853, during a cholera epidemic, he endeared himself to the people of Piatt County by his fearless treatment of the stlcken ones, and his skill received due recognition.
