A photograph of Lathrop and Susan Bullene with their grandchildren taken in Lawrence, Kansas. In 1857, Lathrop Bullene (1826-1915), established a fine mercantile business on the corner of Massachusetts and Warren (Ninth Street), Lawrence, Kansas. In 1863, his store and stock were burned in Ouantrill's Raid, at a loss of $20,000. He rebuilt his store and resumed business, which continued under his son-in-law and grandson. Mr. Bullene died in 1915. His mercantile eventually was sold and became Weaver's.
