<br />The current Martinsville Volunteer Fire Company was organized on September 07, 1949 <br /> <br />John D. 'Jack" Bouldin joined the Martinsville Volunteer Fire Company in December 1955. <br /> <br />With more than 30 years of active membership, he served as President in 1959 and was <br />Company Treasurer for many years. <br />For those who remember the Firemen's Bazaar that was held on Brown Street Field in the <br />1950's and 60's - Jack served as co-chairman many times and could always be found at the <br />Bingo Tent or assisting Louis Compton with the auction. <br />After his active membership, Jack continued to work with the Volunteers in many of our <br />endeavors, especially the Toll Gates and was always available to provide his insight and <br />experience on proposed Company activities. His friendship is greatly missed. <br /> <br />At the 60th Annual Southwest Virginia Firefighters Association Convention <br />Memorial Service held on Friday June 16th, 2006 at St. Paul United Methodist Church <br />in Christinasburg, Virginia; <br />John D. 'Jack' Bouldin of the Martinsville Volunteer Fire Company <br />was one of eleven firefighters from the Southwest Association to be remembered at <br />the Memorial service, a statue with an engraved plaque was present in his memory. <br /> <br />"Southwest Virginia Firefighters Association <br />In Memory of <br />John D.
