PIONEER RESIDENT DEAD
George Foulke Died from Complication of Diseases
George Foulke, aged 66, a well known farmer of Jackson township, died at his home about two miles east of Bakers Corner, at 11 o'clock Thursday night, of a complication of diseases. It has been known for some time that he was in a precarious condition, but his death comes as a shock to a large number of friends and acquaintances who were unaware of his serious condition.
Mr. Foulke had spent the greater portion of his life in the neighborhood where he died, and was recognized as a man of sterling integrity, a good business man, and a model farmer. He was born in Ohio, but his father, the late Jesse Foulke, came to this state when it was a wilderness and settled in the vicinity of Bakers Corner nearly sixty years ago.
He is survived by a wife, three daughters and two sons. The children are Mrs. Oscar Robbins, Mrs. Dr. S. C. Phillips, Mrs. Robert Ross and Alvin and Arthur Foulke The funeral took place Monday the services being conducted by Rev. Lindley Reagan. Burial at Crown View Cemetery.
