Simeon Bullock

Since we've been seeing so much of Abbie Wood Bullock — now here's her husband, Simeon, having a good hair day. Born in 1850, he was the eldest of Moses and Amanda Bullock's children, brother of Gilbert and Asa (also of Ruth Bullock Halladay, but we haven't talked about her much and probably aren't going to).

I'm roughly estimating his age here to be about 45, which would put this photo somewhere in the mid-1890s. The name on the card is "Globe Studio, Ottawa, Ill.," but that doesn't help.

Hello.

You said in a post "also of Ruth Bullock Halladay, but we haven't talked about her much and probably aren't going to."

Is there a reason that you said "probably aren't going to" when referring to Ruth Bullock Halladay? I don't have any concern about this, I just found that statement curious and wanted to know if there was some special meaning behind it.

Thanks,

Steve

No special meaning at all; that's just me tossing off one of my pointless remarks. (If you know Ruth's story and would like to write a guest post about her, that would be very welcome!)
