Son of Jacob and Catherine Stokes Fulks
James Fulks, one of the oldest residents of Guyan township, passed away Saturday morning, April 22, at his home on Guyan Creek, near the county line. He was about 88 years old and was born at Great Bend, Ohio. He came to this township several years ago, where he settled with his family and has since been one of our honored citizens.
He was twice married, his first wife being Flora Lasley. Three children were born to this union. His second wife was Amanda Lasley, a sister to his first wife. She preceded him in death about twelve years ago. She was the mother of several children, five of whom are living as
follows: Jas. A., J.M., and William of Crown City and L.R. Fulks and a sister Anna Mary, living somewhere in Kentucky.
Mr. Fulks was an eccentric character and for several years has lived a sort of a recluse life. For about four years he was unable to walk, but seldom went to bed, preferring to sit on the floor and pass away the time, playing like a child. His desire was to be buried in a
plain oak box, but this was not carried out. He died with his pipe in his mouth. His sister Mrs. Delilah Dorsey, of Steubenville, Ohio, is the only one living of his father's family.
Funeral services were conducted at the home Sunday evening and were largely attended. Rev. Jasper N. Lunsford of Scottown officiated at the funeral and Undertaker J.W. Stevers had charge of the burial which
was made in the family burying ground.
