LYMAN L. BULLOCK, a farmer on section 17, Hodaway township (postoffice Nodaway), was born in Morgan county, Ohio, September 7, 1859, the youngest son of Marshall and Rhoda (Devoll) Bullock, a sketch of whom is elsewhere given. He was a boy of five years of age when his father came to this county, and he spent his youth on the old homestead, receiving a good education; and, having an apt and communicative mind, he taught school a number of terms with marked success, alternating with farm work during the warmer months of the year. He is now located on a farm of forty acres of rich bottom land, where he has a good dwellng, out-buildings, etc. lie is engaged also in poultry-raising, which he finds profitable.

On national questions he is a Republican, and is an efficient worker for his party—is indeed a “wheel-horse” in the cause of Republicanism. He is a member of "the Methodist Episcopal Church of Nodaway, in which he is a zealous worker in the Sunday-school. He is a gentleman of progressive ideas and advanced education.

August 9, 1882, is the date of his marriage to Jessie Cowles, daughter of J. E. Cowles, a prominent citizen of the county, whose sketch is given elsewhere in this volume. Mr. and Mrs. Bullock have four children,—Benjamin Howard, Anna Daisy, Flora Blanche and Frank Elliott.
