Ellen Bulmer
Daily Telegraph
14 December 1933
Died
at age of 101
Sheffield's oldest woman resident
Sheffield has lost its oldest woman inhabitant by
the death of Mrs Ellen Bulmer, aged 101, at the home of her
daughter, Mrs Mary Copestake, 106 Holmhirst Road Woodseats.
A remarkable woman for her age, Mrs Bulmer retained
most of her faculties to the end, and was regarded by all who knew
her as an extremely loveable character. She was typically Victorian.
She had never been in a picture house or a theatre in her life.
Born near Lincoln in 1832, Mrs Bulmer came of an old
farming family in the district and was one of a family of eight.
She was married twice, on the first occasion to a
farmer of the neighbourhood. After the death of her second husband
she came to live in Sheffield, 21 years ago, and had lived ever
since, with her daughter, Mrs Copestake. Two of her sons are living
in Sheffield and another in America. |
