J. Clarke, Publisher HON. ASA BULLEN. Hon. Asa Bullen, an able and successful member of the Utah bar, and Judge of the city court of Logan, being the unanimous appointee of the Logan bar, was born in Richmond, this state, September 6, 1886, and is a representative of a prominent family. His parents were Herschel and Mary Josephine (Whittle) Bullen, the former a native of Maine, while the latter was born in Utah. In the year 1848 Herschel Bullen came to this state. He sailed around South America to the California coast, where he remained for a year, and in 1848 he arrived in Salt Lake City. His life was devoted to farming and to railroad contracting and he was connected with the building of many railway lines throughout the west. At the same time he always owned a farm, which under his direction was carefully, systematically and profitably cultivated. For two terms he served as a member of the state land board, occupying that position for eight years. He died in Richmond, June 27, 1910, while the mother, Mrs. Mary Josephine Bullen, survived until May 7, 1916. One of their sons, Roy Bullen, is mayor of Logan and another son, Herschel Bullen, Jr., is owner and publisher of the Logan Republican. Asa Bullen, member of the bar of Logan, began his education in the public schools of Richmond, passed through consecutive grades to the high school and afterward became a student in the Brigham Young College and later in the Utah Agricultural College, being graduated from that institution with the Bachelor of Science degree as a member of the class of 1910. His preparation for a professional career was made in the Harvard University Law School, which conferred upon him the LL. B. degree in 1913. In October of the same year he was admitted to practice before the bar of Utah and has since remained an active representative of the profession in this state. He is a member of the Logan Bar Association and he has always continued in general practice, preparing his cases with great thoroughness and care and presenting his cause with a clearness and cogency that leaves no doubt as to the correctness of his position. In addition to his work in connection with the large clientage accorded him, he is an instructor of commercial law in the Utah Agricultural College. On the 20th of November, 1913,, Mr. Bullen was married to Miss Georgia Vivian Hatch, a daughter of H. E. Hatch, a prominent banker of Logan. They have two children: Phillip Asa, who was four years of age on the 8th of February, 1919; and Richard Hatch, who was born May 8, 1919. Mr. Bullen gives his political endorsement to the republican party and has been a close student of the vital problems and questions of the day, but the honors and emoluments of office have had no attraction for him, as he has preferred to concentrate his energies upon his professional duties. His devotion to his clients' interests is proverbial, yet he never forgets that he owes a still higher allegiance to the majesty of the law. Unwearied industry and rare learning are combined in the conduct of his cases and he is regarded as an able, faithful and conscientious minister in the temple of justice.
