n Former hesldenfs
Mr.. E. r. Bullock, former resident OF
Burlington county, who died at Woods
town on Saturday, I'd inst, was buried in
the Friends graveyard, Garden street,
Mount Holly. on Wednesday. At the
time of his death he was President of the
Woodstown National Bank. We clip the
following from The Salem Sunbeam "No
man was more generally respected than
he; in all the walks of life he was an ex-
emplary man, and his word could always
be relied on. His head was always clear,
and his judgment sound; his heart was
kind and his hand open to the needy and
distressed; his tongue was careful 10 its
Office, and no reputation has been injured
by his utterance in the long term of years
in which he has been going in and out
among the people. Although bachelor,
he lived happy and contented life, ow-
ing to his simple habits and cheerful
disposition. Next to his faith in God,
he had faith in his fellow man."
