FRANKLIN OLIVER BULLOCK, D. D. S.

    Dentistry is unique among the professions in that it demands ability of a
trifold nature. The capable dentist must possess mechanical ingenuity as well as
wide scientific knowledge and added to that he must have the qualifications that
enable him to make his business a financial asset as well. Thoroughly qualified
in these particulars, Dr. Franklin Oliver Bullock is well known as a leading
dentist of Sevier county, maintaining his office at Salina. He was born in Cass
county, Missouri, in 1882, a son of W. B. F. Bullock, who was a prominent
merchant of that place, and of Clara (Bird) Bullock, whose parents were Ohio
farming people. Both the Bullock and the Bird families became identified with
the pioneer development of the United States. The Bullocks were among the
earliest settlers of Kentucky, and the Bird family took part in the early
development of Ohio.

    Dr. Bullock acquired his education in the graded and high schools of his
native county and then took up the study of dentistry in the Western Dental
College of Kansas City, from which he was graduated with the class of 1903, at
which time his professional degree of D. D. S. was conferred upon him. He then
located for practice in his native state, where he remained for three years
after his graduation and in 1905 became a resident of Utah, settling at Ogden,
where he was associated with the well known Dr. Epperson, with whom he continued
in practice for some time. Later he accepted an offer to locate in Texas, but
not liking the climate of the sunny south, he returned to Utah and in 1911
opened an office at Salina; where he has built up a large practice that is
steadily increasing.

    In 1912 Dr. Bullock was married in Salt Lake City to Miss Edith May Thorsen,
of Sevier county, belonging to one of the leading families of this section of
the state. Mrs. Bullock acts as manager of the White House, the leading hotel of
Salina, of which the Doctor is owner. This young couple are very popular in both
business and social circles and number their friends by the score. In addition
to his hotel and professional interests Dr. Bullock has a farm of two hundred
and seventy-six acres situated several miles from Salina and devoted to the
production of general crops and to stock raising, for he has upon his place a
herd of fine shorthorn Durhams, of which he is very proud. Whatever he
undertakes he carries forward to successful completion. He has that power of
concentration which would indicate him to be nothing but a farmer when busy upon
his ranch, nothing but a hotel proprietor when managing the interests of the
White House and nothing but a dentist when at the operating chair. It is this
quality of concentration that has enabled him to succeed in every line that he
has undertaken. He regards the practice of dentistry, however, as his real life
work and he holds membership with the State Dental Association and the National
Dental Association, thus keeping in touch with the trend of modern professional
thought and progress. Fraternally he is a Mason and an Elk and exemplifies in
his life the beneficent spirit upon which these organizations are based.
