From "The Record of My Ancestry" by A. L. Hull:
Augustus Longstreet Hull was born in Athens, Ga. Sept. 8, 1847, and graduated from the University of Georgia for which he had the deepest love all of his life. He was 18 at the close of the War Between the States and had served as a Scout. For many years he was connected with the University Bank, also serving as Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the University. The last years of his life he was Registrar of the University. He was very musical, playing the flute very well. His keen sense of humor and dry wit made him interesting to both his friends and his family. He was superintendent of the Presbyterian Sunday School for many years and an elder in the church. He took his father's "Sketches of Athens" and incorporated them into his "Annals of Athens." He also wrote "The Campaigns of the Confederate Army" and a pamphlet called "The Hulls of Georgia." He and his wife established a home that has been remembered for a generation after their death for its charm, hospitality and Christian character.

Athens Middling, 14 11-15 5o 14 3-4 c.
Hon. Augustus L. Hull has yielded to Death
Death came last night at Nine O'Clock. Was One of the Most Prominent Citizens of Athens. Identified for Many Years with the Educational Institutions of the City. Funeral Saturday
After a brave, patient, determined fight against the last foe, Hon. Augustus L. Hull has yielded to death.
For several years he had been in failing health and from the severe attack of grip last summer he never rallied fully, although he recovered sufficiently to resume his duties as secretary and treasurer of the University of Georgia for a few weeks in September and October.
For the past few days it was known that recovery was impossible and yesterday morning, realizing that his death was near at hand, he said to his loved ones, gathered around his bedside, that he faced the final moment in perfect confidence and calmly awaited the end.
His passing was a beautiful tribute to a clean, honorable, Christian life, as he went down through the valley of shadow triumphant and unafraid.
The end came at 9 o'clock last night, when, answering the summons of his Master, he entered upon the reward of the faithful and true.
He was a typical representative of Southern civilization, a gentleman of the old school, upright, true, loyal, brave and faithful. His death is not only a great blow to his loved ones, but a distinct loss to the community he had served so well since boyhood.
Mr. Hull was born in the city of Athens September 8, 1847, and was in his sixty-third year at the time of his death. He was the son of the late Dr. Henry Hull, and a member of a family closely identified with the upbuilding of this city.
When the War Between the States came on he was only 14 years of age, but he was fired by the martini spirit of Southern youth and longed to go to the front. Later on, in 1864, he became a courier in the Army of Tennessee, the Western army of the Confederacy, and served until the close of the war. He was prouder of his connection with the Confederate army than any other part he played in life. He possessed no treasure that he valued quite as highly as his Confederate Cross of Honor. He was true and loyal to the traditions of the South up to the very moment of his passing. A little more than a year ago he bore the message of Athens to the Confederate Veterans of Georgia, asking that they meet in reunion in this city. When the old heroes in gray came, last September, he was in too feeble health to take an active part in their entertainment as he desired, but he remembered that he was again a soldier, and that his comrades were around him. So, in spite of physical infirmity he mixed and mingled with the old heroes of the sixties and enjoyed intensely the pleasures of the great reunion.
In 1866 he graduated at the University of Georgia, and soon thereafter as a civil engineer, assisted in locating the Augusta and Savannah railroad, between Camak and Macon. From 1869 to 1872 he taught school in this city, and in 1873, became cashier of the Bank of the University, a position he held until 1890, when he became secretary and treasurer of the University of Georgia, which position he held until his death.
Mr. Hull was devoted to educational work. He was the first president of the board of education of the city of Athens, and for many years had been the treasurer of that board. In the early days of the city school system, and down to the present time, he had labored with patience and devotion as a member of that board, and much of the splendid accomplishments of the Athens city schools are due to his ability and his ceaseless interest.
In 1887 he became president of the board of trustees of Lucy Cobb Institute, and in that position served until the date of his death. This was to him peculiarly a labor of love, for he had an abiding love for that institution.
Mr. Hull took an active interest in all movements for civic improvement. He once served as a city alderman, was a member of the water works commission of the city, was treasurer of the Georgia-Carolina and Northern railroad during the period of its construction, and was always to be found on the side of the best interests of his city.
He was a man of distinct literary talent, and was fond of historical writing. He wrote a number of valuable papers for the Southern Historical Society, was author of "Historical Sketch of the University of Georgia; " "Campaigns of the Confederacy" and "Annals of Athens, GA." He had also delivered a number of most interesting lectures at times.
For the greater part of his life, he had been a member of the Presbyterian church, and for many years an elder in that church. There, as everywhere, he was a faithful, conscientious, devoted worker, and in his death his church sustains a great loss.
He married Miss Callie Cobb, daughter of Gen. Thomas R. R. Cobb, and is survived by her and their seven children -- Dr. Marion McHenry Hull, of Atlanta; Mr. Harry Hull, of Athens; Mr. Longstreet Hull, of Roswell, N. M.; Mr. Joseph L. Hull, of Union City; Mrs. William H. Pope, of Roswell, N. M.; Miss Sallie Hull and Miss Callie Hull, of Athens -- all of whom were present at his bedside and received his parting blessing. Judge Pope is now on his way to Athens, and will arrive here tomorrow.
Around his fireside, Mr. Hull's virtues shone most resplendent. He was an ideal husband and father, typifying all that is best in the beauties and glories of home.
Among his relatives present, at the time of his death, were his brother-in-law, former Governor Hoke Smith, and his sisters-in-law, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Harry Jackson, of Atlanta.
The funeral arrangements have not been fully perfected. The funeral will be held Saturday, the hour to be announced later and also the place.
The following gentlemen will act as pallbearers: Messrs. Joseph M. Hodgson, E. I. Smith, W. D. Cooper, R. C. Orr, C. M. Snelling and Billups Phinizy. The honorary pallbearers will be the trustees of the University of Georgia, the trustees of Lucy Cobb Institute, the members of the city board of education, the professors of the University of Georgia, the elders of the Presbyterian church and the deacons of that church.
Last night, at the session of the mayor and council, on being apprised of the death of Mr. Hull, a committee, consisting of Aldermen Snelling, Griffith and Rowe, was named to draft charitable resolutions on his death, and support them in council. The mayor and council, as a mark of respect for the deceased member of the board of education and as a tribute to one who was has so long been a prominent and indefatigable worker for the upbuilding of the city, will attend the funeral in a body.
