MRS. SARAH C. 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 [sic*], 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 [sic; Branch], 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.

*Additional information: 

Site not known (June 2024) to the Southampton County Historical Society {SCHS} 
   Cemetery Project. 

D.Cert. 1937-2432 (Berlin & Ivor #4) gives buried at home; daughter of Mr. 
   BEALE, b. VA, & unknown; the informant was her son A.J. BULLS. 

Find a Grave Memorial #204395573 lists Sarah & Milton as buried in the 
   BEALE-SAUNDERS family cemetery on Airport Dr.; however, that seems 
   incorrect.  (Cemetery ID: 2489814) 

Spikes E. & Nancy (EDWARD) BEALE, buried there, did not have a daughter 
   named Sarah or Catherine. 

Sarah & Milton do not appear on the Isle of Wight County Historical Society 
   {IWCHS} Grave Site Survey Task Force {GSSTF} report #191, although it 
   notes several unmarked interments: 
   http://www.iwchs.com/Cemetery-Reports.html 

They appear in the 1930 Census - Berlin & Ivor Dist., Southampton Co. - 
   possibly on Round Hill Rd., on Farms 185 & 186, adjacent to Levi P. RAIFORD 
   (d. 1932), who is buried in a RAIFORD family cemetery on Seacock Chapel Rd.

Her husband's D.Cert. 1953-2681 (B&I #2) gives buried in the family cemetery, 
   near Ivor. 

Southampton Co. MB6:136 gives both b. & res. Southampton Co., but does not 
   give their parents; Milton was the son of Henry & Julia (DREWRY) BULLS. 

I was unable to find anyone named Sallie, Sarah or Catherine in the 
   1870 or 1880 Census in Southampton or Isle of Wight Cos. 

Her son George Herbert BUHLS (1890 - 1937) is buried in Olive Branch Cemetery, 
   Portsmouth.
