Obituary: John Lovick Bullard, 1 Oct 1896 - Smith County, TX Contributed by Vicki Betts 12 January 2003 Copyright.

Bub, as he was familiarly called, had but little religious training, and after his conversion his surroundings were not the very best in order to religious life and living; but we trust it is well with him now. He was at one time Church Secretary, and when near the end expressed a willingness to die, and exhorted others to learn to pray, so he would meet them in a better place, and at another time said he saw his sainted mother who years before had died a Christian; and his young, but heart-broken wife has no fears of his safe arrival in the house of many mansions. The burial services were held by the writer while surrounded by a multitude of sorrowing relatives and friends. O how sad is death! No wonder that Jesus wept; but weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning (Psa. 30:5) to all who love and trust Jesus. T. T. BOOTH.
