The unfortunate young man has been in failing health for the past two years, suffering from affliction of tuberculosis, and has been spending he greater part of this year in the mountains of Colorado and Arizona, seeking relief from the [illegible], but now without avail. While the [illegible] was not wholly expected, it was a severe blow to the father, brothers and sisters in this city.

The young man was twenty-four years of age and had spent his life in this city, where he was universally loved and respected by all who had the pleasure of knowing him, and to the old friends the news of the death brings a sense of deep loss in a true and tender [illegible].

Plattsmouth Journal, Thursday, June 7, 1917 FUNERAL SERVICES OF THE LATE OTTO BULIN >From Tuesday’s Daily. Yesterday afternoon the funeral services of the late Otto Bulin were held from the home in the south portion of the city and quite largely attended by the many old friends and associates who had known and loved the departed during his lifetime. The services were conducted by Rev. Weaver, of Omaha, who only a short few months before had been called upon to join the departed young man in the holy bonds of wedlock, and had now been called to lay him away in final rest. The minister spoke feelingly of the worth of the departed and to the sorrowing wife and relatives, spoke words of comfort in the promise of the Master for blessed rest and peace in the life hereafter for those who walked with Him in their earthly life. The floral tributes at the funeral were beautiful and numerous and attested the feeling of respect and love in which the departed had been held by those who knew him best. At the conclusion of the services the body was conveyed to Oak Hill cemetery, where it was l! aid to rest beside that of the mother who had preceded him in death. To the wife, father and brothers and sisters of this worthy young man the deepest sympathy will go out in the darkest hour of life, when all the grief of parting and separation has fallen upon them with heavy hand. Few men had been held higher or more truly respected in the community than this young man, who just in the dawning of life with all the possibilities lying before him was taken from his family to answer the final summons to the great beyond.
