Died at his residence in Liberty tp., Porter county, Ind., March 30, 1891. Mr. Theodore S. Bull, aged 62 years and 10 days.
Mr. Bull was born in Cayuga co., N.Y., on the 20th of March, 1829. He came to Indiana in 1850, since which time he has been a resident of Porter county and one of its most highly respected citizens. He was married to Ann M. Mason on the 20th of September, 1855. Ten children were born to this union - seven of whom, with the mother, still survive the father.
Mr. Bull accepted Christ as his Savior and became identified with the Christian Church in 1867. During the past winter he again renewed his vows to his Maker, took up the duties of Christian living and by his earnest zeal he has robbed this dread blow of its bitterness, to the dear ones upon whom it falls so heavily, and tempered this intense sorrow with the sweet assurance of a reunion where sorrow is unknown.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Theodore Bull, Sr. a well-known pioneer farmer of this county, living between Chesterton and Valparaiso died Monday very suddenly. He had been well up to the night before his death, and was in Valparaiso Saturday. On his return home, he took sick, and soon died. His heart was affected, which rendered the attack of grip so fatal.

FROM OUR NEIGHBORS.
NORTH-WEST CENTER, April 6th, -- Theodore S. Bull, well-known throughout this county, died suddenly last Monday morning. The deceased was an old resident of this county, universally esteemed for his unbending integrity, his general affability in manner, studious habits and general intelligence. In his special line of work (the apiary) he was a recognized authority, and we are informed, was a valued contributor to several of the journals devoted to bees and bee-keeping. Notwithstanding the difficulties of locomotion, a large and thoughtful concourse followed him to the grave. The remains were interred at the Kimball cemetery.

Mr. Theodore S. Bull, of Valparaiso, Ind., died at his residence on March 30, 1891, aged 62 years. He was in apparent good health until 3 p.m. of the day previous, when in was attacked by La Grippe. He grew worse rapidly until 6 a.m. of the 30th, when death ended his sufferings. His demise was so unexpected that only two of his children were at his bedside, though all seven of them lived within a few miles of the parental residence.
He was one of the oldest subscribers to the BEE JOURNAL, and was its firm friend. A biographical sketch of his life may be found on page 373 of the BEE JOURNAL of June 15, 1889.
His apiary was kept in a very neat manner, as was his excellent farm. His methods and systematic management were admired by all its visitors. It afforded him the greatest pleasure to show his hives, and explain his methods. Those who attended the conventions in Chicago and elsewhere in this region will remember his enthusiasm and good natured talk about his bees and management. One by one, the old friends are departing, and soon the pioneers will be all gone the way of all flesh.
