Samuel was a son of Levi and Deborah (Andrews) Bullock, born in New York, on 2 June 1831.
Samuel Bullock came to Wisconsin in 1841 with his parents who located in Johnstown for one year. Levi Bullock then moved to Lima, where Samuel lived until he was 19. On 20 July 1851, Samuel married Miss Mary Jane Elliott, a native of Erie County, New York, and they located in Johnstown. [Johnstown Album, Vol. 1, page 146, 1970, quoting History of Rock County, page 809.] They were married almost 65 years.
They first had a log cabin home in Johnstown. Then they moved to Section 32 in Lima Township, where Samuel farmed and helped his brother Hiram run a creamery for many years.
Samuel Bullock gave an acre of land to the District School No. 12, Town of Lima. It was always called the Bullock School. When the school was closed, the school site reverted to the original farm. The Four Corners was called Bullock's Corners. It is at the intersection of State Highway 59 and County Trunk KK.
According to an 11 November 1996 letter from Doris Schultz Steffen, after his son Orson Wesley Bullock was killed by runaway horses in 1867, Samuel Bullock wanted another son, so he bugged his wife to have another child who turned out to be a little girl, Verna Bullock.
Samuel Bullock served as clerk of School District No. 4 for two years, 1871-73, and as director for three years, 1879-82. At that time, Samuel owned 120 acres in Section 14, Johnstown Township, where he made "a specialty of raising thoroughbred Shorthorn cattle and owned one of the finest bulls in the county". [Johnstown Album, Vol. 1, page 146, 1970, quoting the History of Rock County, page 809]
Samuel and Mary Jane Bullock moved into Whitewater [around 1879?] and lived there for 37 years. They lived on Janesville Street [in Whitewater] and were members of the North Johnstown Free Baptist Church. Samuel Bullock died in Whitewater, Walworth County, Wisconsin on 5 May 1916.
A May 1916 edition of the Whitewater (Walworth County, Wisconsin) Register carried the following obituary for Samuel Bullock:
After an illness of seven months, Mr. Samuel M. Bullock of [Whitewater] passed away last Friday morning [5 May 1916] at 3 o'clock. He failed the last few days before the end came and had been helpless for a long time.
He was nearly eighty-five years of age, having been born June 2, 1831, in Erie County, New York. The Bullock family came to North Johnstown [in 1841] when he was a small boy, and the greater part of his life was spent in Johnstown, Lima and Whitewater. He was a farmer and afterwards operated a creamery.
He was married in July 1851 to Mary Jane Elliott. Nearly five years ago they celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage, and his passing breaks home ties that have existed for nearly sixty-five years. Mrs. Bullock and two daughters survive him, Mrs. H.L. Janes and Mrs. F.R. Bloodgood. A son, Wesley, was killed in an accident nearly fifty years ago [in 1867]. He is also survived by six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
His home was a Christian home, and for many years Mr. Bullock and his family were members of the North Johnstown Free Baptist Church. Since coming to [Whitewater], he has been a member of the Methodist church. He was always a regular attendant at church services and enjoyed the Christian fellowship of the church.
Rev. S. Lugg and Rev. C.I. Andrews conducted the funeral services at the home on Janesville Street, Monday [8 May 1916] at 10 o'clock, after which the remains were taken to the North Johnstown cemetery for burial in the family lot.
