200 at Bull Family Event HAMPTONBURGH -
About 200 descendants of William Bull and Sarah Wells, early Orange
County settlers, attended the 96th annual picnic meeting Saturday
of the William Bull and Sarah Wells Family Association, Inc.
The meeting was held at the Bull Stone House, Craigville
Road, occupied by the Louis E. Brown Family. At the meeting which followed
the picnic luncheon, the bylaws were amended to increase the
membership of the board of managers from nine to 12 members.
The amendment was proposed at last year's annual meeting and
approved Saturday. Newly elected to the board were Henry Perry Jr., Highland
Falls; Mrs. Alfred Booth, Campbell Hall, and William Lodge, Montgomery. Douglas Couser, Thompson Ridge, was elected to replace Charles F. Johnson
Jr., Chester, whose term had expired. Two other managers, whose terms expired, were reelected. They were Mrs. George H. Thompson, Goshen, secretary, and Edward Duryea Decker, New York City.
Also continuing in office are Earl Dickerson, Thompson Ridge,
president; Chester Roe, Newburgh, vice president; Henry P.
Bull, Middletown, treasurer; Robert McLeod Jackson, Campbell Hall;
Andrew Wilson Jr., Scarsdale, and Mr. Brown, managers.
Mrs. Charles Wells, 98, of Newburgh, was awarded the prize
for the oldest person attending. Paula Nave Bastiano, infant
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Bastiano of Montgomery, was the
youngest present. She was born June 12, 1963.
Traveling the greatest distance were Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Hammond, Oxford, Miss.

The sandman paid a visit to these two Bull family cousins,
Carey Perkins and Lisa Corinne Schuerholz, one year old.
Apparently the excitement was too much for both. --
