REV. BULLOCK PASSES AWAY SUNDAY

The passing of Rev. J. M. Bullock at the family home in Bryan Sunday afternoon, November 16th at 6:30 o'clock took from this earth one of god's noblemen, and sadness is in the hearts of the family and a host of friends who knew and loved him. For many months past Rev. Bullock has been confined to his home, infeebled by a slight stroke of apoplexy, but was able to see and enjoy friends, and always bright, cheerful and hopeful. The light of that Faith which had upheld and led him all through life still shone in his eyes, and still brought peace and comfort to his declining days. A second stroke came, however, late Saturday afternoon, and his life ebbed slowly away, until death came at the hour above stated. Medical skill, love and prayers did their best to keep him, but they were unavailing. Death won, and his family and friends mourn today the loss of honored husband and father, kind neighbor, loyal advocate of the highest and best in life, and a high priest in friendship's holy temple, a patriot, a Christian gentleman.

James Madison Bullock was born in Wynn Parish, Louisiana, May 14, 1851, and came to Texas and to Brazos County in January, 1871. In November, 1871, at Steep Hollow, this county, he was married to Miss Mary Adams, daughter of the Rev. Elias Adams, a pioneer Baptist preacher.
Truly, theirs was an union blessed of God, and Providence has guided them through the long way of life, blessed them wiht noble children, friends, and comforts and now at the close of life's day, the good husband and father has been called to enter the more abundant life.

Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Bullock have been an inspiration to all who know them, as hand in hand they have walked down the highway of life together.......

Rev. J. M. Bullock was a minister of the Gospel for thirty-six years, and the beloved pastor of many of the rural churches over Brazos county, continously, until his failing health prevented.......

Deceased is survived by his aged widow, three sons and and four daughter, as follow; Rev. Charley E. Bullock of Hearne; Albert Bullock, Palacios, J. Marshall Bullock, Bryan; Mrs. J. W. Wiley, Mrs. D. D. Jolly, Mrs. J. Sidney Smith, Bryan; Mrs. Herbert Crenshaw, Ft. Worth. Also three brothers; Rev. Nathan B. Bullock, San Angelo; John Bullock, Synder; J. E. Bullock, Steep Hollow.

The funeral cortege left the family home on South College avenue this afternoon at 2 o'clock, the beautiful services being conducted at Steep Hollow church at 3 o'clock by Dr. John A. Held, pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, assisted by Rev. J. J. Pipkin, Brazos county associational missionary. Interment was made in the Steep Hollow cemetery, while hundreds of loving friends stood with bowed heads and hearts.....

Son of Samuel Calhoun and Pamelia (Willis) Bullock
