OBITUARY:
Died on the 3rd of January 1864 at the Medical Collage Hospital, Atlanta, GA., of wounds received at the battle of Missionary Ridge, Capt. James W. Fulkerson, 29th Tennessee Regiment. Thus another name is added to the already long and bloody list - another patriot has breathed his last in the service of his country, and his "comrades in battle" are left to mourn with his many friends at home for as "brave a warrior as ever drew a blade".
Capt. Fulkerson was born in Caliborne County,E.Tenn. was just 24 years of age just entering the very prim of manhood. He enlisted as a soldier on the 1st day of August,1861-and fought with distinction in every battle in which his Regt. had been engaged-was wounded in the battle of Murfreesboro while gallantly leading his men to victory, and again severely at Missionary Ridge, while nobly doing his duty as one of the officers in the glorious old 29th Tenn. regiment, and alas! his wounds proved fatal. He died as he had lived, firmly confident of the ultimate triumph of the cause for which he fought, and with that peace of mind that looked away to another mode of existence.
"THERE IS A TEAR FOR ALL THAT DIE-
A MOURNER O'ER THE HUMBLEST GRAVE-
BUT NATIONS SWELL A FUNERAL CRY-
AND TRIUMPH WEEPS ABOVE THE GRAVE".
With his mother, sister and brothers we would drop a tear of sympathy, and resolve more firmly to fight the invaders of our soil, the polluters of our homes, the murders of our friends, to the bitter end. He will always be remembered by his companions in arms as one of the most willing to meet the invaders and drive them from our homes-and
"Ah! NEVER SHALL THE LAND FORGET
HOW GUSHED THE LIFE-BLOOD OF HER BRAVE,
RUSHED WARM WITH HOPE AND COURAGE YET,
UPON THE SOIL IT FOUGHT TO SAVE."
A BROTHER OFFICER.
Son of Dr. James Fulkerson and Frances Jane Patterson Fulkerson
