Winfield Courier, June 12, 1884.
MARRIED. A bright and happy party of Winfield’s young people attended the marriage of Mr. J. S. Tull and Miss Lizzie Palmer at the home of the bride, near Cambridge, last Thursday evening. Rev. W. J. Tull, brother of the groom, came especially from Illinois to officiate at the wedding, and the ceremony was pronounced at eight o’clock. After hearty congratulations from those present, refreshments were served, the excellence of which are seldom equaled. It was one of those happy occasions which only come to the parties most interested, once in a life time, and true enjoyment reigned supreme under the agreeable hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Palmer and their pleasant family. The bride and groom are among Cowley’s most intelligent, substantial young people and start on the matrimonial journey very auspiciously, with the well-wishes of a large number of friends.

                                      CAMBRIDGE CRUMS.—“CLYMES.” [?]
Rev. Tull preached at Cambridge last Sunday week.
Winfield Courier, December 25, 1884.
Rev. B. Kelly went over to Oxford Sunday to assist in the dedication of the Methodist Church there. In his absence the M. E. pulpit in this city was filled by Rev. James Tull of Cambridge. Mr. Tull is a young man, just being initiated into the ministry, but his sermon would do credit to even an “old stager.” He elicited much favorable comment from the audience.

Udall News: Rev. James Tull has moved with his family to Udall, his new field of labor. We can highly recommend Mr. Tull and his estimable wife to the citizens of Udall.
[HACKNEY CORRESPONDENT: “GRAPHITE.”]
Arkansas City Republican, November 7, 1885.
A series of meetings conducted by Revs. Brink, of Geuda Springs, and Tull, of Udall, have been in progress the past three weeks at the Pleasant Valley M. E. Church. The spiritual flame still continues to burn with no immediate prospect of abating. Quite a number of additions are being made to the church.
[NEW SALEM PENCILINGS. “OLIVIA.”]
Winfield Courier, Thursday, January 15, 1885.
The dedicatory services at the M. E. church were excellent. Rev. King and Rev. Tull were present from abroad, and the Salemites were held spellbound by the eloquence of Elder King, and his singing of the pretty song, “I’m a child of the King,” which elicited much applause in a silent way from the appreciative audience. He made us all wish to be rich, for that day at least, that we might help in erecting temples for the worship of God. All the ministers did well in their different parts. The people responded nobly to the money part, and everything passed off finely. A gentleman and his wife from Winfield favored the audience by helping with the singing and playing. The choir did finely.
[TORRANCE TROUBLES. “JAY-EYE-SEE.”]
Winfield Courier, Thursday, January 22, 1885.

There was preaching at the schoolhouse on last Sunday by Rev. Tull, our former preacher. He shows himself to be awake to his duty, as he delivered quite an able sermon.

                                        CAMBRIDGE AND VICINITY. “H.”
Winfield Courier, Thursday, April 16, 1885.
As the Dexter Eye says, “Still we boom,” with the opening of spring has come an opening in business. Our merchants are kept busy waiting on their many customers, and none of the business firms of our town complain of hard times. Our population is rapidly increasing too, the latest arrival being a boy, since which times Rev. Jas. Tull has styled himself “papa.”
Winfield Courier, Thursday, April 30, 1885.
Mrs. William Palmer, accompanied by her son and daughter, Rev. James Tull and wife, came in from Cambridge this morning, on their road to Udall, where Mr. Tull is now stationed and will reside.
                                                            UDALL. “H.”
Winfield Courier, Thursday, June 18, 1885.
Sunday was observed in the Methodist church as “Children’s Day,” and was a very interesting occasion, and the intent and success is largely due to the efforts of Mr. Coulter, the superintendent. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers whose perfume mingled with the song of singing birth, and happy children made the occasion an enjoyable one. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Tull. The Methodist Sunday school do pretty good singing every Sunday, a little better than the average of Sunday schools.
