Businessman.
Born at Montreal, Quebec on 17 December 1862, he came to Winnipeg in 1882. By 1913, he was General Manager of Stobart, Sons & Company, President of the Union Overall Company, and Director of the North Empire Fire Insurance Company and the International Guarantee Company. He moved to Calgary, Alberta around 1914 where he engaged in the dry goods business.
On 1 January 1886, he married Sarah Woodhouse (1866-1932) at Winnipeg. They had five children: Irene Maud Bulling (1887-?, wife of Ralph Stratton), Elizabeth Macarthur Bulling (1888-?), Claude Bulling (1890-?), Georgie Bulling (1891-?), and Francis “Frank” Bulling (1895-1936). He was a member of the Manitoba Club and Anglican church.
He died sometime after April 1932, possibly in California.
