MEMORIAL EXERCISES 255 DAVID WILLIAM BULLOCK. Dr. David William Bullock, the subject of this sketch, was born in Tarboro, Edgecombe County, !N". C., Junfe 1, 1853. He was named for his honored father, and his mother, before her marriage, was Miss Mary Margaret Routh, descended from a well-known family of Edgecombe. His paternal and maternal forbears can be traced directly to the Lees, of Virginia, and the Bryants, Rouths, and Cromwells, of England. He grew up a strong, healthy, intelligent lad in his native county, made memorable by its rapid rise agriculturally, its citizenship of wealth and refinement, and the blood of many heroes. The vicissi- i/ tudes of the war seriously interfered with his early education; but he was a fine example of the well-known statement of Webster: "Costly apparatus and splendid cabinets have no magical charms to make scholars." Denied the advantage of a thorough collegiate training, he, however, advanced rapidly at the best schools in Edgecombe, under the tutelage of such consummate masters as Wilkerson and Belmont. What he lacked in his youth, in the way of literary finish, he endeavored by long, solitary hours of study and reflection, in after years, to make up for the loss. He succeeded most admirably, for when the summons came for him to go hence, to be forever with the Great Physician, his spacious storehouse was filled with the best in literature and medicine. He illustrated clearly that: "The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight; But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night." • A full year before reaching his majority, he was a graduate in medicine of the University of Maryland, where he ranked easily among the first in a large class. Immediately after his graduation he was appointed one of the internes at the University Hospital, which place he acceptably filled for one year. Afterwards, he served on the staff of the Associated Medical Charities of Baltimore, and some years subsequently, held a like position at the Mothers and Babies Hospital in New York. During his residence in Xew York, being atliirst for medical knowledge, he entered himself as a pupil under Dr. Robert II. M. Dawbaunon and Dr. John A. Wyeth, two eminent and distinguished physicians, the latter of whom is still living to adorn the profession. For seventeen years he assiduously plied his calling with conspicuous ability and profit in the fertile and flourishing county of old Edgecombe.
