BULLOCK, Edward L.,
Coal Operator, Financier.
Length of years has been granted Mr. Bullock, years which have been honorably and usefully spent ; not selfishly for his own aggrandizement, although he has been diligent and successful in business, but in the service of his fellowmen in the ways open to him, charity, philanthropy and religion all claiming his interest and support. To chronicle the business activities of a life which from the age of eighteen until sixty-three was crowded with achievement is in its completeness difficult to compress within the limits of a biographical sketch, but doubly hard when in connection with that business activity there was continuous work for the uplift of man.
Mr. Bullock traces descent to an English ancestor, John Bullock, of Hull, who prior to 1710 came to the American colonies, settling in Burlington county. New Jersey. He married a second wife, and in 1710 is recorded as a beneficiary of his father-in-law's estate. The line of descent from John and Sarah (Harrison) Bullock is through their son, Isaac Bullock, and his wife, Elizabeth Rockhill ; their son, Edward Bullock, and his wife, Hannah Lanning; their son, Joshua Bullock, and his wife, Mary Lippincott; their son, Edward L. Bullock, of Hazleton, Pennsylvania.
Joshua Bullock was born at Mount Holly, Burlington county. New Jersey, November 11, 181 1, and died at Quakertown, Pennsylvania, July 28, 1901, a nonagenarian. After he had completed his own education in the public schools, he began teaching in nearby schools, continuing until 1840, when he moved to Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania, where he engaged in lumbering on an extensive scale, the virgin forests of that section offering a fine field for his energy. When the great and disastrous floods of 1862 practically swept away his plant, he did not resume, but removed to Quakertown, Pennsylvania, where he passed the remaining years of his long life. In Mauch Chunk he took a leading part in civic affairs, served as burgess, and filled many other local offices. He was a prominent member of the Society of Friends, faithful to its peculiar tenets, and a man of highest character. He married Mary Lippincott, April 4, 1843, born November 5, 1813, died April 15, 1891. Of their children, Edward L., Anna and Alice are yet living.
Edward L. Bullock was born at Mauch Chunk, Carbon county, Pennsylvania, March 31, 1844. He passed the first eighteen years of his life at the paternal home, obtaining a good English education in the public schools. In 1862 he entered the service of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company as rodman, his first duties being in connection with repairs to the canal, which had been badly damaged by the flood of June 2, 1862, the same flood which swept away his father's lumber yards. He remained with that company until 1866, becoming assistant engineer, and aiding in the construction of the Lehigh & Susquehanna railroad from Easton to White Haven, Pennsylvania. In 1866 he resigned his position and entered the Polytechnic College of Pennsylvania, pursuing a two years' course in mining, and in 1868 receiving at graduation the degree of Mining Engineer. Shortly after obtaining his degree he became engineer and assistant superintendent with the Buck Mountain Coal
Company, remaining two years, going thence to the Lehigh & Wilkes-Barre Coal Company as superintendent and engineer at the Wanamie Colliery near Wilkes-Barre.
In 1871 he was appointed superintendent of the Beaver Brook Coal Company near Audenreid, Pennsylvania, and there remained thirty-seven years. During that period he was in charge of the company's affairs, also opening and superintending two extensive collieries at Morea and Kaska William, in Schuylkill county. He became one of the well-known and efficient coal operators of the anthracite district, and bore a very high reputation both for engineering and executive ability. In 1907 Mr. Bullock retired from part of his business engagements and has since resided at his home in Hazleton. He, however, retains official connection with several important corporations, serving as executive head of the Garret Mining Company of Maryland, the Carolina-Georgia Lumber Company of Savannah, Georgia, and is a member of the board of directors of the Dodson Coal Company and the Beaver Brook Coal Company of Pennsylvania, the Hazleton National Bank, and the Hazleton Iron Works. These are all corporations in which he has taken prominent part since organization and with some of them his connection has been of long standing.
The side lights to be thrown upon this life now past man's allotted "threescore years and ten" are many and varied. In 1862, when a lad of eighteen, he enlisted for thirty days' service in a Wilkes-Barre military company, and in 1863 enlisted in Company I, Thirty-eighth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, to defend Pennsylvania against Lee's invasion. In 1872 he married, and until 1907, resided at Beaver Brook, Pennsylvania. He early became a member of the Presbyterian church, and for the past thirty years has been a trustee of the First Presbyterian Church of Hazleton. His work for the uplift of his fellowmen has been continuous, and is in no wise diminishing in its value. He is vice-president of the board of trustees of Hazleton State Hospital ; a trustee of the Young Men's and the Young Women's Christian associations ; director of the United Charities of Hazleton ; and privately is ever zealous in good works.
He delights in the social joys of life, and is associated with his fellows in several organizations, serving as treasurer of the Hazleton Country Club, president of the Wallops Island Association, Eastern Shore, Virginia, and belongs to the University Club of Philadelphia. In politics he is identified with the Washington party, an organization striving to break the bonds in which Pennsylvania is held politically. He has traveled extensively in Europe, the West Indies and the United States, and is a gentleman of most entertaining quality.
Mr. Bullock married, October 10, 1872, Emma Brandriff, born July 11, 1848, with whom he walked earth's pathway forty-three years are separated by her death, November 9, 1915.
