Stoner, Effie Teter, Lorena E., Hosea, Chandler E., and Ernest E. Bull. Executor: Ernest E. Bull Witnesses: C.E. Teter and A.F. Jones Obituary Hezekiah Bull, an old and very highly respected citizen of Scotland County, died at his home northwest of Memphis Friday, March 26, 1915. The funeral took place from the M.E. Church at Brock Sunday afternoon, being conducted by Rev. George J. Porter of Chicago, assisted by Rev. Caton, pastor of the local Methodist circuit. There was a very large crowd of neighbors and friends of deceased who attended his funeral; the church being inadequate to contain the people, many remaining outside during the services. Thus, his neighbors and friends attest the high regard in which the deceased was held in the community. At the close of the service the body was buried in the Brock Cemetery nearby. The passing of Mr. Bull calls to mind of many of the older people of the county, the fact that he was one of the early settlers of the county, Born in Highland County, Ohio, June 22, 1827, he grew to manhood in the Buckeye State. Mr. Bull was married to Miss Abigail Burris of Hillsborough, Ohio April 4, 1850. To this union eleven children were born, four sons and seven daughters. These are as follows: Mrs. Cal Webber, deceased, Chandler E. B. Bull, of Oklahoma, Mrs. Emily Storer, William W. Bull, deceased, Mrs. T.T. Wilson, Ellensburg, Wash., Hosea Bull of Canada, Lorena E. Bull, Memphis, Mo., Minnie A. Bull, deceased, Eva Bull, deceased, and Mrs. William Teter, Cantril, Iowa, and Ernest G. Bull, of Memphis, Missouri. Immediately after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Bull came to Missouri and located on a tract of land in the north part of Scotland County, which he entered, and where ever afterward his home was. Mr. Bull’s wife died December 3, 1897, since which time his constant companion and housekeeper has been his daughter, Miss Lorena. It was an interesting story how H. Bull battled with the virgin prairies and managed to raise his first crop which, after it was placed in the bin, was sacrificed to the flames; fire from the home of a neighbor having gotten a start in the prairie grass and spread to Mr. Bull’s property. He endured many hardships in the primitive way of farming, but by persistent effort he accumulated considerable land and engaged quite extensively in farming and stock raising, having shipped a great deal of his stock at a time when shipping facilities were very limited. In later years Mr. Bull and his son, Earnest, have carried on the business together, the latter having in charge the management of the affairs of the farm. H. Bull was one of the best of men. He had very little to say about himself and nothing derogatory to say of his neighbors. He was congenial and companionable and always was happy over the successes of his friends. A good man has gone from among us, one whose presence and wide council will be greatly missed. Up to the last few months, Mr. Bull’s mind was remarkably clear, although he was quite feeble in body. Had he lived until the 22nd of June he would have reached the ripe old age of eighty-eight. The entire community deeply sympathizes with the bereaved family. Since writing the above, the following further facts about the life of Mr. Bull were handed in: Hezekiah Bull has one living sister whose home is in Ohio. He leaves nineteen grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. In August of 1860 he brought his bride of a few months to Scotland Co., Mo., where near the present town of Brock he located a claim and the courageous young couple began carving for themselves a home in the new country amid wild surroundings. Their home was well established and prosperity seemed to crown their efforts. When the terrible cloud of war of the 60’s loomed into sight with dangers worse in this section than either North or South of it, his family and home were in peril, when he joined the State Militia. Soon his presence in the home was imperative, then he hired a man to take his place in the ranks while he cared for his delicate wife and small children. Those fearful times passed and again his energies found scope in subduing new land and turning the prairie into fertile meadows. Taking his share in managing public affairs and rearing his growing family, training them in ways of Industry and Virtue, he himself set a worthy example. Mr. Bull became a Universalist in Faith early in life and Worshipped God as a member of this church until death being consistent and faithful. His cherished wife left his life December 2, 1897, since which time his daughter, Miss Lorena, has presided over his home faithfully as far as possible filling the place left vacant by her beloved mother, as well as that of daughter. Mr. Bull’s death came somewhat sudden, but of his preparedness for the change there is no shadow of doubt. In a previous illness, death seemed very near only a matter of moments during this time he was frequently found with lips moving in prayer for his loved ones. At this time he gave abundant testimony that he was done with earth, ready and eager for the next life. He was a man of strong character, facing all life’s questions with the same energy and decision evinced in starting life in an unsettled country. During this long life he has ever been a good neighbor, reading in sickness or trouble, a loyal friend and earnest up-holder of the best neighborhood interests, staunch in his convictions of right. His life has left its impress in the community in which it was passed, his wise counsel and helpful advice will be missed by many. Although full of years when men usually count for little, his life was yet full and every affair of his large family claimed his sympathetic interest. When his days of activity were passed, he gave into the capable hands of his youngest son and partner, E.G., of the active management of his business. His absence will be deeply felt and his memory revered. Though ripe and ready for Eternity, with grief, we yield him up at God’s comma. Thanks to Linda Brown for sharing this obituary.
