BULLOCK, WILLIAM SIMEON, judge of the Fifth Judicial District, is a son of the late Gen. ROBERT BULLOCK and for over forty years has been a leading representative of his profession in Florida. He was born in Ocala, May, 16, 1856. He was educated in private schools, studied law under J. O. LYMAN and W. P. HASLEY, and also took the course of lectures at the University of Virginia. He was admitted to the bar at Ocala in 1879, and at once began practice and for a number of years was associated with his honored father. In 1882 he was appointed judge of the Criminal ourt of Records, and held that office until it was abolished by the Legislature. His learning and special gifts brought him many years ago the rank of he ablest lawyers of Florida.
September 2, 1901, he was appointed judge of the Circuit Court of the Fifth District, and by reelection has been retained on the bench for over twenty years. Since going on the bench Judge BULLOCK has declined to associate himself with any interests that in any way would prejudice his mind in the administration of his office, and this has
been characteristic of his high principles and ideals throughout his career both as a lawyer and as a judge.

MILLER, of Tampa; SARAH ALICE, connected with the American Institute of Accountants at New York City; WILLIAM S.
