      Frank Baynard Bullock, the youngest child of John Wesley and Amanda Elizabeth (Leverton) Bullock, was born March 26, 1875 in Delaware County, east of Muncie on the Claypool Farm. He lived here during his early life and entered the first grade at the Graham School located in that vicinity. Later the family lived for a short time on the Frank Smith farm south of Mount Tabor Cemetery near White River.
      When he was thirteen they moved to the Huffman Farm, southeast of Muncie near Bethel Church. Here he and his sister, Laura, attended Madden School, which was located a short distance north of their home. Later he worked for his brother, Charles, on the Graham Farm, east of Muncie, where he did general farm work and helped deliver milk from their herd of cattle to the Meeker Dairy.
      In 1899 Frank was married to Marion Ethel Moffett, daughter of James T. and Mary Jane (Stewart) Moffett. Ethel was born in Delaware County January 12, 1874. They went to housekeeping south of Muncie on what is now Fuson road on the Frank Ross farm, near the home of Sherman Whitney.
      Frank was engaged in farming for a few years, then they moved to a new home which they had built on the Burlington Pike near the Water Works. Later they had moved to Muncie at 417 South Pershing Drive where they resided until he passed away October 3, 1959. His wife preceded him in death July 5, 1956. The children of this couple are Marion Baynard, born June 10, 1900 and Juanita Fay, born June 30, 1904.
      Frank was a conductor for the Street Car Company for ten years, later working at the Wheel Works, then at the Warner Gear Division thirty-five years until his retirement in 1945. He continued to work until the age of seventy so he could help during the years of World War II.
      Frank and his family were members of the Jackson Street Christian Church, where they attended regularly. His wife, Ethel, was a charter member when it was founded. Frank served as a deacon of the church and was always very conscientious in his religious faith. When this Church was abandoned they moved their membership to the new church home, now the Hazelwood Christian Church. Frank was a kind, friendly sincere man and was highly respected by his friends and fellow workmen.
