Jacob Elijah Bull was born May 4, 1856 at Centerville, Leon County, 
Texas and was married to Nettie Ann Palmer in the year of 1886 at 
Brfeckenridge, Texas. Three children were born to this union; two 
girls and one son. The daughters, Mrs. A.E. Merriam, Lipcomb, Texas 
and Mrs H.D.O. Hammond, Roswell, New Mexico, survive their father. 
The son, Temple Houston Bull, was killed near Wichita, Kansas, in a 
truck accident a few years ago. He has three grandchildren, Mrs. 
Burle McCommis of El Paso, Texas, and Sharon and Trenton Bull of 
Wichita, Kansas. He is also survived by one brother, George Bull, of 
Mangum, Oklahoma and his widow, Mrs. Nettie Ann Bull of Lipcomb, 
Texas.

Mr. Bull came to Day County, Oklahoma Territory, in the year, 1894, 
where they resided several years and later moved to Grand, the 
countyseat of Day county, where he engaged in the ranching business 
and served several years as sheriff of Day County. Many years ago he 
removed to Lipscomb County, Texas and has operated a farm and ranch 
known as the Bates Ranch, five miles south of Lipscomb.

He was regarded as one of the early frontier type of citizens who 
helped to develop the Western country, and has bore many hardships, 
but was always ready to assist his friends and neighbors in the 
development of the country.
