DR. J. F. BULKLEY
---Dr. J.F. Bulkley, for fifty-two years a physician in Adair and Macon Counties, died Saturday at 8:00 at the home of a daughter in Carthage, Missouri following a heart attack. The seventy-four year old veteran of general country practice had left La Plata last week on a short visit in South Missouri and became ill about 4:00 Saturday afternoon.
---The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 at his home in La Plata, conducted by Rev. J.L. Shoemaker, pastor of the Christian Church and burial will be made in the La Plata cemetery.
---Dr. Bulkley is survived by one son, Dr. C.H. Bulkley of La Plata, and two daughters, Mrs. Guy Vallely, Minneapolis, and Mrs. William Hauld, Carthage, Missouri, at whose home he died.
---He was well known in this section of the state and many Kirksville residents received their first schooling from D. Bulkley when he was a young school teacher.
---He taught at intermittent periods for seventeen years before becoming a physician; was for a time, assistant instructor in education of the old Kirksville State Normal School and served on the La Plata Board of Education for thirty-six years, most of that time as president.
---He secured his first school in Colorado at the age of seventeen, but after that term came back to Missouri and taught in his home district at Nind, among former schoolmates for seven years.
---Following his venture into pathology, young Bulkley started in a medical college. He soon ran short of funds and went back to school teaching and farming. In 1889 he had sufficiently replenished his educational funds to go back to his study of medicine and in 1891 he was graduated.
---In later years Dr. Bulkley has devoted considerable time in the accumulation of data on the Bulkley family and has published a booklet, a genealogical record of the Bulkely family. He has traced his ancestry to Ruberbux Dues Da Bulkley who was born in England during the reign of King John, 1199-1216. The story runs in the family that Rubertus gained the favor of old King John, signer of the famous Mague Charities, by rescuing him from an infuriated bull.
---The record of the Bulkley family in America began with the immigration of Peter Bulkely who founded and settled the town of Concord, Massachusetts in 1632, a governor of Connecticut, a Judge of the Supreme Court of Connecticut, noted college professor and minister are listed among the Bulkley's of America.
---Dr. J.F. Bulkley's grandfather was with General Winfield and after one encounter carried the wounded general off the field. Dr. Bulkelys' father was named Winfield Scott Bulkley. He helped to build Fort Dearborn on the lake at the mouth of Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois, also fought in the Black Hawk war and made a record that can be found in the Chicago Library. He was and uncompromising abolitionist and fought in the War of the Rebellion for the Union. He could quote almost the entire Bible. He died in Adair County, Missouri July 13, 1904, in his eighty-ninth year.
