Obituary
 
William Bulmer was a native of York, England moving with his family to Neligh, 
Nebraska in 1881 and returning to his native land in 1884.  In 1891, the 
family once more moved to the United States, settling in their former home in 
Nebraska, where they remained for fifteen years, coming to Payette in 1916.
 
Mr. Bulmer in company with his wife left Payette six months ago, going to 
Eugene, Oregon in search of health.  Here, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. 
Joe Franswa, he died of anemia on November 20th, 1923, aged 66 years.
 
For four years, and until his health broke down, Mr. Bulmer was janitor at the 
Payette county court house.  It was to his love and knowledge of growing 
things that the court house owed the wonderful display of ferns and blooming 
plants which adorned the windows of the building, the fame of which had spread 
to neighboring counties.  A letter received from Mrs. Bulmer states that the 
casket was hidden by beautiful floral offerings, many of which had been sent 
by Payette friends.
 
Besides his widow, Mr. Bulmer leaves six children to mourn him.  These are:  
Mrs. C.E. Crook of Venice, California; Mrs. Joe Franwa of Eugene, Oregon; C. 
W. Bulmer of Neligh, Nebraska; J. A. and Harry Bulmer of Portland, and Tom 
Bulmer of New Plymouth.
 
The funeral took place Wednesday at Eugene. Services were held in the 
Congregational church, of which deceased was a member, interment being made in 
the Masonic cemetery, the local Masons having charge of the service at the 
grave, where the beautiful Masonic ritual was solemnized over the body of a 
departed brother.
 
Mrs. Bulmer has many warm friends in Payette, whose hearts go out to her in 
her bereavement.
