SARAH CATHERINE BULLS

   Mrs. Sarah Catherine Bulls, age about 75 years, wife of Milton Bulls, died 
at her home near Corinth last Thursday morning, January 28, after an illness 
of several weeks.

   She was a native of Isle of Wight County*, and a resident of Southampton 
County for 51 years.  In early life she joined Beaver Dam Baptist Church, 
moving her membership to Millfield Baptist Church after coming to this 
community to make her home.

   Miss Sarah Catherine Beale and Milton Bulls were married on January 19, 
1887, and would have celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on January 
19, 1937, but owing to the death of their son, G.H. Bulls on January 13 and 
the illness of Mrs. Bulls no celebration could be held.

   To this union were born nine children, two dying in infancy, a son, M.H. 
Bulls eleven years ago, and one two weeks before her death.

   Surviving, in addition to her husband are five children, Mrs. R.E. Carroll 
and R.E. Bulls of Portsmouth, and R.H. Bulls, A.J. Bulls and Miss Nannie 
Bulls, who made their home with their parents.

   Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the family 
cemetery, conducted by her Pastor, the Rev. N.F. Jacobs, burial being made in 
the family cemetery.  Members of Millfield choir sang "Will There Be Any Stars 
in My Crown" and "In the Sweet Bye and Bye."  Active pallbearers were: Henry 
Branche, Fenton Branche, Lee Beale, William Joyner, Lloyd Carroll and Rufus 
Carroll.  Honorary bearers were friends of the family.

   The casket was covered with a pall of lilies and rosebuds and there were 
many other floral tributes.
