Lot of dozens of items related to the life and career of Perado A. "Perry" Hull (1850-1902), a prominent Chicago lawyer and active participant in the Republican Party of Cook County, Illinois. Collection is highlighted by Hull's personal leather briefcase which bears the initials "P. A. H." as well as family photos, correspondence, newspaper clippings, and more. Born in Ohio in 1850, Perry Hull moved to Chicago in 1871 and began practicing law there a year later. In the following decades Hull rose to prominence as a successful trial attorney and was eventually appointed the Master in Chancery for the Circuit Court of Cook County. Hull was also active in Republican politics, serving as a member of the Republican Cook County Central Committee. As a member of this organization he wielded considerable power and influence in the city. His political and legal interests extended into the realm of business as well, particularly into the oil industry. He died in Beaumont, Texas, in 1902, while on a business trip promoting the interests of his company, the Chicago-Texas Oil Syndicate. In addition to Hull's personal briefcase, the archive includes nine family photos most of which appear to date to the turn of the century. One group photo appears to show Perry A. Hull holding his young son and surrounded by his older daughters and other family members. Eight of the photographs are unidentified, while one is identified as Hull's third wife, Mrs. Perry A. Hull / Ella G. Hull. It is likely that the majority of photographs show Hull's youngest child, Perry A. Hull, Jr. who was born in 1896. Other highlights include deeds and documents related to the oil industry in Texas; a beautifully decorated book presented to Mrs. Ella Hull in 1898 from the Chicago Board of Education on the occasion of her retirement; multiple letters from Mr. W. C. Moore, a major figure in the oil industry in Texas; family scrapbooks with newspaper clippings about Hull; and a document signed by nineteen judges of the Circuit and Superior Courts of Cook County agreeing to adjourn their respective courts on April 14, 1902, in commemoration of the death of Perry A. Hull. Condition: Briefcase is well-worn. Documents are of various conditions.
