Hello, I am Susan Neff, Historian at the Dr. James Ford Historic Home in Wabash, Indiana.
I am trying to find the families of Dr. Ford's descendants and have recently come to
believe that there was one family living in New Albany from at least 1850 (census) to 1912
(death).
The obit I am seeking is for ALICE BULL, born about 1851 in Kentucky, married to B. S.
Bull and the mother of Robert Alexander Bull. Alice died on August 12, 1912 in New
Albany.
I have attached a JPG file of 1900 Wabash Plain Dealer wedding announcement for Robert
Alexander Bull to Miss Anna Holton Williams, granddaughter of Dr. James & America Ford
(this home wedding took place in what is now our house museum). Is there any information
in your local history about the Bull family? Where did they live, what schools attended,
church affiliation, other family members, burial location, etc.
On behalf of the Ford family, please accept our thanks and gratitude in advance for your
kindness in helping us. Should you have any questions, please contact me directly. Thank
you.
