MEMORY OF GEN BULLOCK
Resolutions Adopted by the Bar are
Spread Upon the Minutes in Open
Court and the Lawyers Pay
t
Eloquent Tribute
At the session of the circuit court
Monday the resolutions adopted in
nuiinory of General Robert Bullock
whose death occurred in this city in
July last were spread upon the jnin
utes and all the members of the bar
paid eloquent tribute to the memory
of the deceased
Judge Richard McConathy present
ed the resolutions on behalf of the
committee and in doing so made most
feeling and appropriate remarks
The following are the resolutions
The death of General Robert Bul
lock at his home in Ocala Florida on
Thursday July 27th 1905 brings un
feigned sorrow to the members of the
bar of Marion county with whom
with their predecessors he had been
intimately associated in various offici
al relations as well as a member of
said bar for fifty six years
He was a native of North Carolina
having entered upon a life of varied
experiences In that state three score
and sixteen years ago Before attain
ing his majority he moved to this
state which has ever since been his
home In early manhood he was unit
ed In marriage to that most excel
lent woman Amanda L Waterman
who for fiftytwo years was the jo r
and pride of his life and where death
caused a heart to bleed ceasing only
when it beats no longer They raised
a large family among the number the
honored judge of this judicial district
While General Bullock was not to
a great extent learned in that which
is taught In the colleges his strong
mind was stored with that useful
knowledge to be learned in the school
of life an dthis with an eloquent and
forceful delivery placed him in the
fore front of the public speakers of the
state He possessed the confidence of
the plain people and they heard him
gladly This confidence was gained
because they knew him to be honest
with them
Probably no matter of great concern
in this state in the past fifty years
shaping its history and destiny but
received the impre of his influence
if for the good and his opposition
if he thought it bad
He was an active soldier in the In
dian war of 1856 a brave and effi
cient officer moving from the rank of
captain to that of brigadie general
in the Confederate Army an efficient
member of the 51st and 32nd con
gresses of the United States besides
holding to the satisfaction of the peo
ple several important official positions
in this county and at his death the
incumbent of the county judgeship
That the appreciation of the private
life and public services of our distin
guished citizen by the members of this
bar may be made a matter of rec
ord and as expressive of our feelings
Be It Therefore Resolved
That in the death of General Bullock
Marion county has lost a faithful effi
cient and upright official and the
state of Florida one of the most hon
ored and distinguished citizens whose
wise counsel and successful services
in the many places of high trust which
were committed to him whose superb
patriotism and unswerving devotion to
high principles and the best interests
of his state hns left an unperishable
imprint upon the times in which he
i lived and a fixed place in the hearts
of his fellowcitizens
Resolved further That in the true
and spotless life which he liv Jd
through a long period of years in
which he touch sd at almost every an
gle the various experiences to which
mortality Is subject he has left a rec
ord behind him worthy of emulation
by all who wish the esteem of their
fellowcitizens while they live and an
honored memory when they have pass
ed off the stage of mortal existence
Resolved further That although not
engaged in active practice the mem
bers of the bar honor his memory and
are proud to have his name enrolled
I among those of our profession and
point to his spotless integrity in all
0
1
a
things as the chief characteristic
1
which marks the career of every successful
I
I cessful and honorable member of the
legal profession
Resolved further That we tender
I our sympathies to the members of the
i family of the deceased and join with
II
them in their sorrow in this hour of
I their bereavement butrejoice as they
I too may do in the fact that the shad
ows of the dark hour are illuminated
by the memory of the bright and spot
I less record which Gen Bullock left behind
i
I hind him here and doubtless carried
i with him into the world beyond the
I veil
Resolved further That these resolutions
r
I lutions be presented at the next term
f
of the circuit court of Marion county
I
t with request that they be spread upon
I the minutes of the court and publish
I ed in the newspapers of the City of
Ocala and in further honor of the
memory of our deceased brother law
j yer and distinguished fellowcitizen
I we move that the court stand adjourn
I ed for the day
I As we have already stated all the
i members of the bar participated in
I this memorial service but the remarks
i I of the most of them were entirely ex
J temporaneous
i Major L T hIm Mr II L Ander
I son and Mr Carlos L Sistrunk had
t their speeches reduced to writing and
i
we are glad to be able to give them
I
in full to our readers
i
j Remarks of Hon Carlos L Sistrunk
r f
The significance of this occasion
saddens my heart as the death bed
scenes of that distinguished gentle
man recur so vividly to my mind and
I while I am one among the youngest
I members of the Ocala ar should I
I remain unheard during he discussion
of these resolutions for their adoption
I I apprehend that my silence would
bring remorse
I Would that I had the power of pre
senting briefly becoming an occasion
I
I like this my full appreciation of him
I who now sleeps the immortal sleep
I
II
I in natures chamber of repose It has
I been beautifully said that in the
I democracy of death all men are at last
equal There is neither rank nor
I
station nor prerogative in the repub
I lic of the grave At this fatal thresh
hold the philosopher ceases to be wise
j and the songs of the poet are silent
Dives relinquishes his millions and Laz
t
arus his rags The poor man is as
1 rich as the richest and the rich man
as poor as the pauper The creditor
looses his usury and the debtor is ac
I quitted of his obligation There the
i proud man surrenders his dignities
Ii the politician and worl ling their hon
1 or the invalid needs no physician and
1 the laborer rests from his unrequited
I
I toil
I Here at last is natures final equity
i The wrongs of time are redressed in
I justice is explained the irony of fate
I is refuted the unequal distribution of
i wealth honor capacity pleasure and
I
I opportunity which make life so cruel
I and inexplicable a tragedy ceases in
I the realm of death
I The strongest ther6 have no suprem
t t acy and the weakest needs no de
I fence The mighty captain succumbs
z i to the invincible adversary who disarms
i
arms alike the victor and the van
quished
i My fellow comrades of the bar
I
though the cold hands of death have
I placed him in the scales of equality
I
i with all who have gone before thanks
j to Him the Supreme Judge for per
mission to gather together today and
I in memory pay tribute to our honored
r and beloved and whose life is filled
i with brave and noble deeds A pa
J triot loved by his state and country a
f
leader for the aged and a father to
I the young Let us recall for a moment
I the dark and dismal days of recon

I hearts of the yeomanry w ere made

Were I asked this morning to be
the mouthpiece or spokesman for the I
young democracy of Florida who have
never seen as our fathers saw I could I
offer no stronger petition or more ap
propriate benediction than to say to
him let us live and be as brave as
noble as true as the honored hero
General Robert Bullock
Remarks of Colonel R L Anderson
We come today to pay tribute to one
who in life filled for many years a
conspicuous pla e in this community
and in this state one who was the
friend of humanity and the lover of
his country and who in his long car
eer exhibited In public and private life
a conscientious devotion to every
duty
General Robert Bullock lived to see
I
the friends and associates of his youth
and manhood precede him to the
grave His well beloved wife with
whom he had spent more than a half
century of happy years even she had
been called away from his love leav
ing him desolate
Of him It might be said in the
words of Dr Holmes
The mossy marbles rest
Upon the lips that he had pressed
In their bloom
And the names he loved to hear
Had been carved for many a year
On the tomb
While it is fitting that we should
thus publicly testify to the esteem and
love that we felt for him who is gone
and to lay on his grave our poor
chaplet of friendly eulogy and praise
we still realize that our meagre and
inadequate words can never express
to the fullness our testimony to his I
many noble qualities nor set forth
the rich and valuable lesson which
was taught by his useful and upright
life I
> can only regret the weakness of
words and lament the poverty of
speech to illustrate our consciousness
of his worth as a citizen his fidelity as
a friend his distinguished services aS
a soldier of his country and his hon
esty and loyalty as a lawyer and a
public official
I knew Robert Bullock intimately
for the last twentyfour years of his
life When I first came to this com
munity he was one of the first to take
me by the hand and give me welcome
and encouragement Nor did he stop
at that There wero times when I stood
hi ned of friendship and active help
and these being in his power to give
he did not withhold And I am but
one oat of he Urge number who have
felt the warmt of his ready sympa
thj the pjer of his large generosity
and the encouragement of his hearty
friendship
He has gone from among living men
leaving behind a life replete with
good deeds full of deserved honors
and illumined by his distinguished
qualities of honesty uprightness fidel
ity and charity He has leftwith us
the heritage of a spotless public and
private life To posterity no man can
bequeath a nobler or more precious
gift
It is for us once his brethren and
fellow citizens while we pay effection
ate tribute to his memory to give
heed to the lesson of a life which
was ever hopeful helpful and strength
ening to others and to profit by his
noble example of civic virtue honesty
and purity
The touch of a vanished hand and
the sound of a voice that is still he
shall ever hold in memory while his
honored dust lies in his grave beneath
the sunny skits or his well beloved
Florida
I heartily concur in the sentiments
of the resolutions adopted
Maj L T izlars Remarks
May it please your hODorI rise to
second the resolutions It was not
I my privilege or pleasure to know Gen
Bullock long But It is not always
that long acquaintance or close asso
ciation is necessary for one to be for
cible impressed with the leading char
acteristics of one of his fellowmen
I There exists a pychological process
which often on short acquaintances
and litle personal compact impresses
i
upon one the leading characteristics
and strong points of those with whom
we meet This is particularly true
of the man who has strong and leading
traits of character which are admir
able and worthy of emulation Gen
Bullock was endowed with many of
these From the short period of time
which It was my pleasure to know
him I was impressed with the con
viction that he was a man of strong
conviction fixedness of purpose
settled principles fearless and bold in
his expression 01 them sturdy devo
tion to whatever his convictions led

him to believe to be right These de i
termined him to follow the path of
JI
duty as he saw it wherever it might
1
lead regardless of what the conse
quences to him personally might be
And so it was through a long life in i
I which he passed through almost every I
phase of experience to which mortality I
is subject he never waivered or
shrunk back from any difficulties
which stood in the path where duty
called him to go Others might dif
fer with him in his views of what he
I
conceived to be right but it mattered I
II
not He boldly pressed on regardless I
of personal consequences leaving it
to time and experience to verify the
correctness of his views His record
I
shows that in most instances time vin
dicated the wisdom of his actions
He was a patriot and deeply devot
ed to the best Interests of his state I
ann never failed in any emergency to
make any sacrifice for the good of his
fellow citizens In war and in peace
we find him meeting all issues as they
arise with zeal devotion and ability
But his long and useful life has
ended His sun went down uncloud
ed Wrapped in the stainless robe of
duty well done he is resting from his
labors The people mourn the depart
ure from among us of a loved and
honored citizen while he is reaping
the glorious reward of a life well
spent
He is gone from among us We
shall see his face no more here but
his words live after him Let us cher
ish his memory for
Lives of great men oft remind us
We may make our lives sublime
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time
The memorial services were said by
all that were present to have been ex
tremely feeling touching and affect

byterian Church

nary and his sermons are not only en
joyed by the older people but delight
the younger ones as well

singing and at each service sings
pleasing solos j
