BULLARD, M. D., prominent Physician and Surgeon, Oxford, was born at Bennington, Vt., September l5, 1848, and is the son of William H. and Roxanna A. (Moon) Bullard, natives of Massachusetts and Vermont, and of Irish and Scotch extraction, respectively. Doctor Bullard received his primary education in the common schools of Vermont, and at the Wesleyan Institute of Willbraham, Mass., and at the age of fifteen years went to sea as a sailor before the mast. In 1869, as second mate of a ship, he came South. The crew, while at Mobile, were taken with yellow fever, from the fatal effects of which, it appears, that he and his captain were the only ones to escape, he made his way to Wilmington, where another crew was organized, and as first mate he sailed to Boston, where he abandoned seafaring life. Returning to Alabama, he attended school at Montgomery, and graduated in 1871. In the meantime he took lectures at Jefferson College, Philadelphia. Since engaging regularly in the practice of his profession, he has been recognized as one of the most careful, studious, and reliable physicians of Oxford, and he is at this writing in the enjoyment of an excellent practice. He is a member of the various medical associations, and is held in high esteem by the members of the profession throughout the State. He was married August 28, 1876, to Miss Julia B. Goodhue, daughter of Prof. Amos B. Goodhue. The Goodhues are also of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and came South about thirty years ago. Professor Goodhue is now retired. The senior Mr. Bullard came South in 1868, and to Oxford in 1872. He reared three sons: the subject of this sketch, William E. and Oliver H. Doctor Bullard is a member of the Knights of Pythias, of the Masonic fraternity, and of the Baptist Church. His children are: William G., Alice A., and Elerslie W.
