Sheriff LEONARD J. BULMAN

Sheriff's Funeral Held.

Leonard J. Bulman was born 52 years ago as the son of Mr. and Mrs. James T. Bulman in Union City township. He was a farmer when elected as sheriff for the first time some years ago. In 1940 he again sought the office and was elected to take office in January, 1941. At the time of his death he was starting on the last year of his present term in office.

Mr. Bulman is survived by his wife, the former Martha Barthell of Waukon, two daughters, one son, his mother, a sister and two brothers, all in this county. He was a cousin of George P. Hartley of this city.

Funeral services were held at Waukon Wednesday afternoon, with a number of Postville people going to attend the funeral. They bore with them a tribute from local business men which was presented to Mrs. Bulman in token of the high regard for the sheriff who gave his life in the performance of his duty.
