Daniel Newhall Shull
Daniel Newhall (Dan) Shull of East Wenatchee, Wash., died on Feb. 12, 2001 in Wenatchee's Central Washington Hospital.
He was 81. He died of Parkinson's-related causes.
Dan was born in Friday Harbor on Aug. 15, 1919, in his grandfather Andrew Newhall's home, recently used as the resort Mariella.
His parents, Estella Newhall Shull and Howard Shull, were both children of local settler families. Orphaned at a young age, he was raised by his stepmother, Loretta Shull, who taught in rural one-room school houses after the death of her husband.
Dan's boyhood years were spent on San Juan and Orcas islands; in Bellingham, Stehekin and Wenatchee; and in Valley Springs, Calif.
He returned each summer to his mother's Olga, Orcas Island, cottage, working jobs such as errand boy for the local doctor, salmon fishing, and wrangling horses at the Four Winds girls' camp.
Special friends from those years included Nourdine Jensen, Carl Lange and Jim Golithan.
Dan graduated from Wenatchee High School, which he had attended as a boarding student. In 1941, he joined the U.S. Army 254th Infantry Regiment and served two tours during World War II in the Aleutian Islands and in Northern France.
At the war's end, he married Dorothea Moore of Elko, Nev., and San Francisco. They moved to Yakima, where Dan attended and graduated from the Perry Institute. He then worked for General Electric as an instrument mechanic on the Hanford Project in Richland.
In the early 1950s, he moved to Eugene, Ore., where he worked for more than 30 years in sales and service for the Borden Chemical Company.
Upon retirement, Dan moved back to Friday Harbor where he enjoyed sailing, hiking, traveling and volunteering at the annual San Juan Island Jazz Festival. His particular friend during these years was Fred Sundstrom, a fellow San Juan Island native.
In the mid-1990s, Dan returned to Wenatchee with his second wife, Betty Musson Shull, a Wenatchee native. She preceded him in death in 1997.
He lived the rest of his life in various assisted living and care facilities in the Wenatchee and Lake Chelan area.
He is survived by a daughter, Doretta E. Shull of Manhattan, N.Y.; sister, Florence L. Hoberg of Spirit Lake, Idaho; stepdaughter, Paula J. Holt of Chelan; stepson, Robert Musson of Wenatchee; and a step-granddaughter, Karen Burkhart of Wenatchee.
His former spouse, Dorothea M. Shull of Eugene, Ore., also survives him.
A memorial service will be held at March 3, 2001, 2 p.m., in the Valley Church, followed by inurnment in the Valley cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the San Juan Historical Museum.
