General Notes: Husband - Capt. Casper Dull


He obtained the ordinary education acquired in the country schools of his day, and was brought up as a farmer. At an early age he engaged in the transportation business on the Juniata and Susquehanna. When the State commenced its great system of internal improvements, he became a contractor, and constructed some of the most important portions of the Pennsylvania Canal. Among his warm personal friends were David R. Porter, subsequently Governor of the State, and James Clark. During the term of the latter as canal commissioner, he appointed Mr. Dull to take charge of a large portion of the canals. He afterwards retired to his farms, and the remainder of his days were passed in managing them and several mills which he owned.
