REAL PIONEER:Mrs. Sevier was the oldest living member of two pioneer families which had much to do with the material and spiritual upbuilding of Humboldt county.
She was the daughter of Mr. and Nathaniel Bullock who were married in Eureka in 1863. Nathaniel Bullock's grandfather, Hezekia Bullock, was a veteran of the war of 1812 and one of the first settlers of the territory of Michigan, where the family settled in Lansing. Born in 1831, Bullock came to Humboldt county in 1860, living here until his death. He was associated for many years with Joseph Russ Sr. as manager of Russ Pickard & Co and for 20 years was manager of Russ Market. He was appointed postmaster of Eureka by President McKinley.
Mrs. Bullock was the daughter of the Rev. Aristedes J. Huestis, pioneer Methodist circuit rider, organizer and founder of two colleges in New England and Iowa, legislator, first superintendent of schools in Humboldt and judge.
Although a cripple nearly 40 years from what is believed now to have been an attach of infantile paralysis, Rev. Huestis was a man of almost incredible activity. He is credited with preaching the first sermon in Humboldt county in 1850 and was the organizer of the first Methodist church of Eureka, remaining a trustee until his death 37 years later.
Although retired from the active ministry and never a member of the conference in California, he rode or drove the circuit to rural churches until well along in the 70's, always anxious to serve those who were interested in attending church.
Mrs. Sevier could remember with pleasure how as a small girl she had been permitted to ride with her grandfather to Elk River and other points where he was scheduled to preach.
Mrs. Sevier's mother was the sole survivor of the Huestis family, two brothers having died early in life.
Endowed with a rich family heritage, Mrs. Sevier had taken a keen interest in the preservation of pioneer history in Humboldt county. She had constituted a fervent "audience" to the stories and teachings of her grandparents and carried many fond memories of their life in the creation of Eureka and Humboldt county.
Mrs. Sevier's husband, Denver Sevier, former superior judge of Humboldt county and oldest practicing attorney in the county, is also the son of a pioneer of 1850. Abner Sevier, who began his life in Humboldt as an ox--team driver in the logging camps. Later he took up ranching along Eel river and became sheriff and supervisor.
The deceased was one of the last living charter members of the Native Daughters of the Golden West and a charter member of the Eureka Women's club. Her personal friendships numbered by the hundreds among those who were privileged to know her.
