Biography

Tullar was named af­ter the Am­eri­can pre­si­dent and vice-pre­si­dent, Ulys­ses S. Grant and Schuy­ler Col­fax. He was the hus­band of An­na Belle Woods (mar­ried 1898, Ale­do, Il­li­nois).

His fa­ther was un­able to work, hav­ing been wound­ed in the Am­eri­can ci­vil war Bat­tle of An­tie­tam. So, af­ter Tull­ar’s mo­ther died when he was two years old, the fa­mi­ly split up. Grant had no set­tled home af­ter that day un­til he be­came an ad­ult.

As a child, he worked in a wool­en mill and as a shoe clerk, and re­ceived vir­tu­al­ly no edu­ca­tion or re­li­gious train­ing. He came to Christ at age 19 at a camp meet­ing near Wa­ter­bu­ry, Con­nec­ti­cut.

He then at­tend­ed the Hac­ketts­town Aca­de­my in New Jer­sey. Or­dained a Me­tho­dist min­is­ter, he pas­tored for a short time in Do­ver, De­la­ware, then be­came a full time ev­an­gel­ist. In 1893, he and Is­aac Me­re­dith found­ed the Tull­ar-Me­re­dith mu­sic pub­lish­ing house in New York.
