Bullock, and of the seven children born to their union all are living
but one, viz.: Alice E., wife of James A. Mastin; Annie, wife of W. L.

1886, Mrs. Farrar departed this life, and Mrs. Mastin is now keeping
house for her father.  Mr. Farrar is a stanch Republican, and has the
well merited esteem of his neighbors.
