Martha Bullock

Martha Bullock
The tomb of Seth and Martha Bullock

Martha Eccles Bullock (1851–1939) was the wife of Seth Bullock, one of the leading citizens in early Deadwood, South Dakota. She and Bullock were married in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1874.

Martha Bullock and daughter Margaret were sent to live with her parents in Michigan in 1876 when Bullock first left for Deadwood, then a wild lawless frontier town and no place for a family; after the town had become more civilized, largely as a result of the efforts of Bullock himself as sheriff, they joined her husband in Deadwood. She became a leading member of local society managing a fine household, as befitting the wife of one of the area's leading citizens. They subsequently had another daughter, Florence, and a son, Stanley.

In popular culture

Several creative liberties were taken with the facts surrounding the real Martha Bullock for the HBO television series Deadwood. Unlike her character in the TV series, she was not originally the widow of Bullock's brother, but is reported to have been his childhood sweetheart[citation needed]; and similarly, rather than having a son by Bullock's brother, she and Bullock actually had a daughter, Margaret, at the time of Bullock's departure for Deadwood.
