**********************************************************************

Sidney Bull is the son of Elisha and Sarah (Dusenberre) Bull, both
natives of Orange County, N.Y.  The father was born in 1801, and was 
the son of Moses Bull.  The original Bull family emigrated from 
England.  Elisha was a very successful farmer, and died in 1870, while
on a visit to his son, Sidney, in Missouri.  The mother was born in 
1807, and was the daughter of Daniel Dusenberre, who was a native of
New York.  She died in Orange County, N.Y., in 1857.  Both parents 
were members of the Presbyterian Church.  Sidney was born in Orange
County, N.Y., on June 10, 1839.  He was the fourth of seven children,
and was reared on the farm, securing a good educatioin in the common
schools.  When twenty-one years of age he immigrated to California,
where for two years he was engaged in lumbering.  Returning to New
York he remained seven years, and in 1869 immigrated to De Kalb County,
MO., purchasing the farm where he now resides, near Amity.  His farm
consists of 320 acres, all of which is well improved, and upon which
he has a fine residence and large, substantial outbuildings.  He pays
considerable attention to raising stock, for which he is admirably 
prepared.  In 1862 he was united in marriage with Ruth A. Cooley, who
was born in New York in 1840.  She is the daughter of Edmund Cooley.
To this union seven children have been born, six of whom are living.
The two eldest sons are in Colorado.  H. R. is a physician of Grand
Junction, and the other is engaged in the cattle business in that
State.
