Bulman Reunion scheduled for July 19 in Eitzen

The 66th annual reunion of the Bulman, Hartley and Beardmore families is scheduled for Sunday, July 19 at the Community Center in Eitzen, MN. A potluck meal will be served at 12:30 p.m. with a meeting and social time to follow.

The five Bulman ancestors who came to America from Little Thetford, England in the 1850s were Thomas, George, William, John and their sister, Mary Bulman Sadler. All descendants of these early settlers are cordially invited to attend this reunion meal. Beverages will be provided. Those planning to attend are asked to bring food to share, their own table service, family pictures and stories. This year our story board recounts the tragic deaths of 1919 in the Upper Iowa River neighborhood. It was also the year of prohibition, so we will be serving 1919 root beer.

The Bulman reunion now includes other family names after seven generations: Beardmore, Hartley, Mohwinkle, Ebner, Shefelbine, Leppert and many more. Those who cannot attend are encouraged to send their updated birth, death and marriage information for the family tree.
