Mrs. Isabella Bulpitt

Another of the Christian mothers of the community has passed to her reward.  Mrs. Isabella 
Grace Bulpitt died at the family home here on Sunday morning, at the age of 76 years.  Her 
illness had been protracted, and its fatal termination was foreseen.

Mrs. Bulpitt was a native of Prince Edwards Island.  From that province she went to 
Massachusetts, in the middle '70s the family moved to Bishop, which has since been their 
home.

She took an active interest in matters of the Methodist church, more particularly during 
the earlier years of her residence, before her devotion to family and home claimed almost 
her sole attention.

Three children survive her - Fred H. Bulpitt, Miss Harriett Bulpitt, and Edward R. Bulpitt, 
all of Bishop. A grandson John M. Bulpitt to whom she filled a mother's place for the first 
seven or eight years of his childhood, was also among those at the bedside as life ebbed 
away.  She was a sister of Charles A. and John McKay, former Bishopites who have passed 
away.
