Mary Eleanor Bulger
MARY E. BULGER CLOSES HER LIFE BOOK
Mrs. Bulger is Probably the Oldest Resident of Our City--Book Closed on October 12
The death of Mrs. Mary E. Bulger occurred at the home of Mr. & Mrs. A.E. Kennard on North Chestnut Street, Sunday afternoon at 2:30, from pneumonia which she contracted only a few days previous. Mrs. Bulger had been seriously sick with congestion of the liver a few weeks ago, but so far recovered that she was able to be around the house. About one week ago she took a heavy cold which developed into pneumonia, and her reserve strength was not enough to overcome that fatal disease, and death was the result.
Mary Eleanor Bulger was born in Moundsville, W.Va., July 27, 1830, and when only three years of age came with her parents to Ohio, and they settled on a farm near Sewellsville. In 1851 she came to Barnesville and has lived here ever since. Her maiden name was Taylor, and when twenty-three years of age she was married to John B. Bulger, of Fairview, who passed away in 1898. To this union were born eight children, on son dying in infancy and four others preceding their mother in death several years leaving Mrs. Kennard with whom she made her home and Clyde C. Bulger of this place, and William Bulger, of Columbus, as her immediate survivors.
Besides her children, she is survived by one sister, Mrs. R.A. Dale, of Columbus who is eighty-four years of age, and the last of a family of ten children; also a number of grandchildren and several great-grandchildren.
The deceased was a life-long member of the Methodist denomination and was active in her religious duties until bereft of her hearing and strength. She then spent hours in sacred devotion and meditation. She was industrious and a great reader, and for a woman of her years had a bright mind. She was a member of the Woman's Relief Corps, which organization took part in the burial service.
Funeral services were conducted on Tuesday afternoon by her paster, Rev. C.W. Cooper, of the First Methodist Church, and burial was made in Greenmount.
