The Obituary for Joseph Bullen (found in the Historical Center in Knoxville, Tennessee on July 14, 2007 by Jesse J. Bullens III). Transcribed from a copy by his 3rd great-grandson; Jesse J. Bullens III
Obituary:
Remarkable Death By Palsy.
Brother Joseph Bullen, a member of the Baptist at Beech Grove, Grainger County, Tennessee, left his home on Monday morning, the 28th of February 1859, in ordinary health, and rode to a country store a distance of some twelve miles and while in a settlement with one of the proprietors, he was duly attacked by a violent stroke of Palsy and entirely deprived of speech and action.
He lived until the 6th of March [Sunday] and died without the recovery of speech and action and insensible of any thing whatever.
Brother Bullen was a man of some (illegible) years of age. He had been a member of the Baptist Church for some Eighteen years. He was a (illegible) orderly walking and useful member, also a man of untiring industry therefore this death is much to be (illegible) as a citizen and especially by the Church as a Christian Brother, we feel to sympathize very much with the bereaved wife and Children and friends of the deceased.
