Obituary.
The Monticellonian
Monticello, Arkansas
17 Sep 1903, Thu • Page 2
Wm. Bulloch was born July 12, 1834, died July I8, 1903; therefore lived to the ripe old age of 69 years and 6 days. He first saw the light of day in Merriweather county, Georgia, where he lived till 22 years of age. In 1830 he married Mollie Courtney, a daughter of Steve Courtney. To this union four
children were born, three of whom are living.
He came to Arkansas in the autumn of 1855, in company with his father, father-in-law and other near
relatives. He settled 6 miles South of Collins and remained on the same farm nearly 47 years, with the exception of the time he spent in the service of the Southern Confederacy. He enlisted in the war in 1862 and wits a true soldier to the close of that
unpleasant affair, he and his comrades being among the last to ground their arms beneath the sunny skies of Texas.
Like many others he returned to find only a wreck of the pleasant home he had left. As if to make life as bitter for him as possible, his wife had died in 1863, leaving him 3 helpless little children to care for. But with a sublime faith in the benevolence of
providence and an energy which knew no tireing, he began to rebuild, and soon had the satisfaction of seeing his, among the first homes of a flourishing neighborhood.
In 1871 he married Mary Baldy. Four boys and four girls were born to bless their wedded lives. The girls and 3 of the boys still survive.
As a husband and father be was kind and loveable; as a neighbor, generous; as a friend, noble and true, and as a Christian, he had that sweet patience and forbearance which characterize God's children as they walk through this life.
His beautiful soul never shown brighter than during his sickness and suffering, which be seemed to think from the first was unto death, though it lasted several months.
As he was one among those whom the longer he was known the better he was loved, he left many friends to mourn their loss.
Among those who mourned at his grave were a number of
colored people whom he had reared an who had labored long on his farm. By his request, they dug his grave.
Dear relatives and friends, as we grieve his loss, let us resolve to live as he lived, and this separation will not be forever.
Why should we murmer or complain?
We know thou art free from pain.
And we shall meet to part no more.
On that bright and happy shore.
S. S. Gray.
Collins. Ark.
