From the Historian: Macedon Historical Society says thank you
Linda Braun
It is with great gratitude that we wish to thank the Bullis Fund and the memory of Auerelia “Nettie” Bullis for a donation of $10,000. The Bullis Fund is managed by the Rochester Area Community Foundation. We were recently notified of this award and we wanted to formally thank them for it.
Nettie Bullis grew up in Macedon at her home on Canandaigua Road, next to what is now Bullis Park. Nettie was a very intelligent woman who invested well. She was the personal secretary to James Gleason, president of Gleason Works. Nettie left a remarkable legacy following her death. In addition to Bullis Park and the Bullis Library located in the Macedon Public Library her legacy includes the Wayne County Endowment, Bullis Fund and several scholarship funds.
