Waukesha Freeman 6 July 1938
ELDERLY WOMAN COMES HERE IN HOUSE-TRUCK
Fred A. Bulman and mother, Mrs. Margaret Bulman, arrived Friday from their home in Puyallup, Wash., to visit Mrs. William Bochem of this city and Mrs. Lizzie Meyers of Milwaukee. Mrs. Bochem and Mrs. Meyers are sisters of Mrs. Bulman. Mrs. Bulman, who will be 92 years of age in October, is a Civil War widow. The trip from the west was made in a 1 1/2 -ton truck and eleven days were spent in transit to complete the 2200-mile trip. The truck is a house-truck, equipped in similar manner to a house trailer and enabled Mrs. Bulman to have much comfort while en route here.
I note that one of Margaret's sisters is listed as Mrs. Lizzie Meyers. She is living with her father Phillip Mayer (Meyer) in the 1900 census in Milwaukee. He is 89 or 90 years old. Perhaps she married after this. I'll need to follow this lead up. It may just be a mistake.
Many of Margaret's children were spread out along the 'Highline' of the northern states. Here is a picture of Carl and Katherine Miller (Mueller) in later life. I believe that this was taken in North Dakota. At some point, I need to bring in the stories of F.A. Bulman's siblings. Perhaps soon. But, there are other lines of the family as well!
Also note that Lena Bulman nee Kunferman, Fred's wife, dies while Margaret and Fred are on this trip.
