Jeanette Aurelia Bullis was born in Macedon on this day in 1893, the second child and only daughter of Abraham R. Bullis and Josephine Breese Bullis. She dedicated her life to her family, her friends and her community.
Her community continues to benefit from her generosity through a $12.3 million grant received by the Rochester Area Community Foundation in 2001. A lead article in the January 31, 2001 edition of the Courier-Journal listed Miss Bullis's charitable interests as including "... the Macedon Public Library; preservation of natural resources; benefit of animals; advancement of learning, and, in her words, 'activities for the moral, mental, intellectual and physical development of young people.'"
Once again, we say "Thank you, Nettie Bullis."
