Historical Marker: When Baby Georgia
A. Barnes was interred on William Nolen's land in 1878, there
was a one-room Schoolhouse on this site. A three-year old girl
was buried here in 1884, and in 1886 William Nolen donated two
of his 160 acres for the formal establishment of a school and
cemetery for the area later known as the Bullock Community. In
1918 the cemetery and school property were leased for drilling,
but the resulting well did not produce. More land was donated
as needed, including the site of the old oil well. The Bullock
Cemetery Association was formed in the 1960's. Bullock Cemetery
continues to serve the area. (1998)
