The unfortunate man's injuries were so serious that reaction never set in and after lingering until Sunday morning he died at 6:20. The remains were brought to Estherville Sunday night and the funeral was held at the M. E. church on Monday, where but a few weeks before the nearly heartbroken family had followed the remains of a loving wife and mother. On this latter occasion the church was crowded with sympathizing friends to pay their last respects to a friend and townsman who had lived here so long. Rev. Woodford occupied the pulpit and spoke words of comfort and good cheer from a text selected by Mrs. Bulis as follows: "Be ye also ready for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." His mother, two sisters and three brothers attended the funeral.
The pall bearers were selected from the railroad boys, and the interment was made in the west side cemetery.
The deceased leaves a wife and four small children. Providentially he had been carrying insurance on his life to the amount of $4,500. This, if it is all available, will prove a great blessing to his family so suddenly bereft of a husband and father. For several years Mr. Bulis had been car repairer at this station, but a few months ago he gave up his position to accept the one he was occupying at the time of his death, thinking that there was more of a probability of promotion than in the former. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and it is in the Masonic Aid Society that one of his policies for $2,500 was taken out. The other policy was in a secret society for railroad men only. Mr. Bulis was an honest, temperate, hard working man and his death falls with terrible force on his family, for whom general sympathy is entertained. -Estherville Northern Vindicator, Estherville, Iowa, February 25, 1892.
