Albert Morrison Bullard, of the Western Electric Company, New York, died on September 19, 1908, at Liberty, New York. Mr. Bullard, son of Gardner W. and Fanny K. (Field) Bullard, was born January 6, 1868, at Boston, Mass., and was the youngest brother of the composer, Frederic Field Bullard, who died in June 1904. He was elected an Associate of the Institute on March 27, 1903. His preliminary education was received in Boston grammar and high schools, and in 1885 he entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Leaving that institution in 1888 he entered the employ of the Thomson-Houston Company, Lynn, Mass. From 1891 to 1903 he was engaged in special work on electrical welding, mechanical devices of telephony, and automatic telephones, for various companies. In 1903 he entered the employ of the Western Electric Company, New York, and until the time of his death was directly in charge of the installation of automatic plants at Queens and other points, and other larger problems of similar nature. In 1904 he married Marion Rorty, sister of Malcolm Rorty, of the Pittsburg Telephone Company. Mr. Bullard was artistic in temperament, refined in his tastes, a congenial co-worker, firm in friendships, kindly and considerate toward all. In addition to his natural mechanical talents he was a lover of music, and was a performer of ability. Both parents and a sister survive him.
