Paul Milner Bulloch Sr.

Paul Milner Bulloch, 82, of Woodland, GA, passed away on Monday, February 3, 2025. He was born on August 22, 1942, to Oscar Cyprian Bulloch and Florence Milner Bulloch of Meriwether County.
Paul graduated from Manchester High School in 1960, where he was named "Most Athletic." Upon graduation, he attended the University of Georgia and earned a Bachelor of Science in Forestry. He then served in the U.S. Navy. After his military service, Paul began his career as a surveyor in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. He later furthered his education, earning two master's degrees-one from the University of Georgia and another from Columbus State University. Paul went on to work with the UGA Extension Service in Bibb and Carroll counties. From 1972 until his retirement, he served as the county agent in Talbot County. He was also a member of the Mid-Georgia Cattleman's Association and currently employed with NASDA.
During his tenure with the Extension Service, Paul received numerous awards for his hard work and dedication, including the Distinguished Service Award, the highest honor a county agent can receive. He was a member of both the National Association of County Agents and the National Association of 4-H Agents. Paul was deeply committed to fostering children's love of agriculture and the outdoors. He served in this capacity for over 30 years and, until the very end, was reminded of the lasting impact he had made. Paul wanted to share his knowledge of Georgia peaches and the long legacy of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service members, so he went on to write two books: The Georgia Peach Story and 100 Years of the Georgia Cooperative Extension Service.
Under his leadership, Talbot County 4-H excelled in their exhibits at county fairs. Additionally, Paul served as President of the Talbot County Farm Bureau for several years.
In 1980, Paul asked Pam if she wanted to watch Breakfast at Wimbledon tennis tournament on television. She said yes, and the rest is history. Pam and Paul were married on April 5, 1981. The next 44 years were filled with love and laughter. They enjoyed many summer trips to Panama City Beach with the kids and grandkids, a trip to Hawaii, and several trips to Washington, D.C., over the years. With summer 4-H camps, rafting trips on the Ocmulgee River, 4-H trips to Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Utah, Pennsylvania, Texas, Kentucky, and New York City, and taking 4-Hers to competitions at Rock Eagle, Atlanta, and Chicago, Paul lived a life full of adventure and passion for what he loved. Many of his 4-Hers still called and visited him, letting him know the great impact he has had on their lives. This is a testament to the many lives he has touched throughout the years.
After his retirement, he opened the Old South Farm Museum in Woodland, Georgia. He hosted many school field trips and tours over the years, teaching kids and adults alike the ways of farming and agriculture during the 1800s and 1900s. Every February, he hosted his annual Hog Killing event, where people from all over came to participate and attend workshops, learning to make sausage. He spent his later years with his grandgirls. Whether working around the museum, in the hayfield, or in the cow pasture, he was always teaching them something and instilling in them a love of agriculture and farming that they still cherish to this day. They enjoyed many Sunday afternoons learning to play tennis, bowling at the Institute, and listening to Alabama's greatest hits.
Paul loved the Lord and was baptized at a young age. He hardly ever missed Sunday morning service. He was a faithful member of the Talbotton United Methodist Church and had been since moving to Talbotton in 1972.
Paul loved all things Georgia Bulldogs and Atlanta Braves. He never missed watching a game on Saturday. Paul will be missed by many, but especially by his family who loved him so much. He was always the jokester at family gatherings and kept everybody laughing.
Paul is preceded in death by his father and mother, his two brothers, Oscar T. Bulloch and Larry C. Bulloch, his youngest sister, Eleanor B. Ballew, his nephew, Don Grant, and his mother-in-law, Jean Oliver.
He is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Pamela Oliver Bulloch; his children, Virginia "Ginny" Bulloch Dunn, Paul M. "Chip" Bulloch Jr. (Sandy), William "Bill" Kelley (Rhonda), and Kayanne Bostwick; his grandchildren, Montana Kelley (Nolan Warmack), Ivy Bostwick (Colin Hendricks), Danielle "Dani" Strickland (Jacob), Hunter Franklin (Austin), Kaiya Dunn, and Stone Bulloch; two great-grandchildren, Elijah Warmack and Jett Warmack; his sister, Lou Ellen Grant (Donnie); brother-in-law Hugh (Carol) Oliver and sister-in-law Pat Oliver Weekly,as well as several nieces and nephews.
