Esteemed Former Butler Citizen Passed Away At Macon

Erasmus Bullock, for many years a substantial citizen of Butler, highly 
esteemed by all who knew him for his religious zeal and strong personal 
character, succumbed Saturday evening to pneumonia and dysentery and lay down 
the burden at his home at Crosskeys, Macon, for a brighter home upon high.

The end of this venerable and beloved man came about 10 o’clock Saturday 
night.  At the age of 78 years, a life consecrated to God and service to 
mankind, the tired form sank to sweet and restful repose that knoweth no waking 
until the resurrection morn.

Mr. Bullock was a native of Wilkerson County, Ga., where in young manhood he 
consecrated himself to the Lord and His service.  From that county went to the 
war and served gallantly his country thru the four years of civil war.  He was 
first married to Miss Martilla Harvey, of that county, who died while Mr. 
Bullock was keeping a hotel in Butler about 25 years ago.  After the death of 
this wife he married Miss Sallie Hayes of this place who lived only a few years 
after their marriage when he later going to Bibb County, married Miss Ella 
Hooks.  Eight children survive the deceased by these unions.

The surviving children are: Mrs. J.S. Frink, Mrs. J.R. Lamond, Mrs. C.C. 
Tidwell, Miss Ollie Bullock, Messrs. W.B., Wyatt, J.G. and R.G. Bullock, all of 
Macon, besides a devoted wife.

A short funeral service was held at Mulberry Street Methodist Church, Macon, of 
which Mr. Bullock had been a member for 20 years at noon Sunday.  The remains 
were conveyed to Butler arriving here at 2:30 o’clock and taken to the 
Methodist church where the concluding funeral service was conducted by Rev. 
E.W. Anderson assisted by Rev. J.T. Adams, and the body interred in the family 
lot here with Masonic honors, Mr. Bullock being a master Mason for more than 50 
years his membership being with the Macon Lodge, No. 5 with whom he affiliated 
after leaving Butler.  While here he was one of the foremost men of the order, 
and has ever since remained loyal to masonry.

Accompanying the remains here were: Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Lamond, Mr. and Mrs. C.C. 
Tidwell, Miss Ollie Bullock, Messrs. W.B., R.G., Wyatt and J.G. Bullock, Master 
Willie Bullock and Mrs. George Massey.
