HARRY BRAMHALL BULLOCK

When the news reached Ocala last
Monday afternoon that Harry Bullock
had "passed away" tears dimmed
many eyes and many hearts were sad
dened, for Harry was a universal fav-
orite in his home town, where he was
born thirty-one years ago, and where
ne grew to noble young manhood.
He was the oldest child of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. B. Bullock and the grandson
of Gen. Robert Bullock and Capt. H.
C. Wright. two of Florida's grand old
men whose memory still sweetly lin
gers with US.
Harry attended our high school,
also the University of Florida. He
was a quick, active. athletic, robust
boy and was recognized as one of our
best baseball players. During the
summer months, he played ball on
various teams of the state and after
he finished his education he belonged
to some of the professional teams. He
was offered big money to become
professional baseball player. This he
declined and began to work for the A.
c. L. railroad At his country's first
call for men when the United States
declared war with Germany he was
one of the first to answer and for two
years he served his country well. in
the navy. On his return home after
tn armistice was signed. he found his
former railroad position was waiting
for him. This place he ably filled un-
til he became a victim of the dreaded
disease, influenza. Everything pos
sible was done for him, but pneu-
monia soon developed and proved too
much for even his strong constitution.
A few years ago he married Mrs.
Lucy Studebaker, an accomplished
and attractive woman, who comes of
distinguished Virginia ancestry. Their
home life was ideally beautiful, each
being devoted to the other. 1t is
lamentable fact that his heart-broken
wife is now very i'll in Jacksonville
ard was not able to come to Ocala
with the remains of her husband. Mr..
Bullock's parents were with him sew
eraI days before his death. His body
was brought to Ocala Thursday
night, accompanied by two of the
Coast Line OfhclalS.
The funeral services were held this
morning at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
r. B. Bullock. Rev. ]. j. Neighbour
in most impressive and helpful
manner spoke words of comfort to the
sorrowing family and friends.
Two songs were sweetly sung by
Mrs. H. M. Hampton. Mrs. Blake. Mrs.
Porter.
The active pail bearers were Mr..
s. T. Sistrunk. Mr.. Bruce Meffert,

Jr. Mr.. H. A. Waterman and Mr.. Ju-
liam Bullock. The honorary pail bear

Helvenston, Mr.. F. E. Harris, Dr. J.

After the funeral the body was
taken to Greenwood cemetery and
tenderly laid in it's last resting place.
The grave was more than covered
with many beautiful flowers. tokens
OF love, esteem and sympathy.
The bereaved family have the deep
est sympathy of their many friends
in Ocala and Marion county and over
the entire state of Florida. May God
bless and comfort them.
May the angel of patience whom
our Heavenly Father so kindly sends
to soothe those who sorrow, be with
them and enable them to "be resigned,
to bear up, bear on" knowing that
"the end shall tell the dear Lord or
deareth all THINGS we'll
