Bullis died very suddenly of neuralgia of the heart at her sister's, Mrs. Harmon E. Rugar, nine miles north of Ottawa, Ill., Thursday, Nov. 6, 1913, at the age of 73 years, 1 month and 26 days. Deceased was born in Plattsburgh, N.Y., September 11, 1830, residing with her parents until she was united in marriage to John Q. Bullis, then moving to Mooers where they lived until 1885, when with their family they decided to locate in Chester, Iowa, as their future home. On December 22, 1911, Mr. Bullis died, since which time Mrs. Bullis has been visiting her sisters, Mrs. Ducham, Leland, Ill., Mrs. Brunell, Hammond, Ind., Mrs. Rugar, Ottawa, Ill., and Richard Wells of Benton Harbor Mich. She was the mother of eight children all being reared to manhood and womanhood. Mrs. Elizabeth Cray and Mrs. Edna Breedlove, both of Chester, Iowa, Mrs. Nettie Mead, Witherbee, N.Y., Mrs. Abbie Mehan and Ralph Bullis both of North Dakota, Mrs. Thress Mehan, Montana and Gala and Levi of Conesville, Iowa, where she intended to spend the winter. She was to leave Ottawa, November 6th on the midnight train, but four hours previous to that, death came to her. Two of the sons Gala and Levi came to Ottawa to take the remains to Chester, Iowa, where her loving children will meet where the funeral services will be held and she will be laid by the side of her husband. She was a true affectionate wife and loving mother. Her bright and cheerful ways and smiles won for her the love and admiration of all who knew her. Besides her children and sisters she has many warm friends to mourn her loss. This is likely a typo, as the 1880 census lists her age as 39. She is listed as Elizabeth M. Bullap (Source Citation: Year: 1880; Census Place: Mooers, Clinton, New York; Roll: 820; Family History Film: 1254820; Page: 351B; Enumeration District: 025; Image: 0034.) If she were born in 1830, her age calculates to be 83 years, 1 month and 26 days. ** Her husband's marker lists his death on Dec. 20, 1911. .
