Bullenes' mercantile became Weavers.

Lathrop Bullene (1826-1915), a pioneer merchant of Lawrence was born at Hannibal, Oswego County, New York, July, 1826. In 1857, he established in Lawrence a fine mercantile business on the corner of Massachusetts and Warren (9th). In 1863, his store and stock were burned in Ouantrill’s Raid, at a loss of $20,000. At the time of the raid, he was in New York City buying some goods. 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.
