Mr. Fuquay was born September 20, 1846, in Warrick county, and spent the early years of his life on his father's farm. On the 7th of May, 1864, at the age of 17 years, he enlisted in the 136th regiment of Indiana Volunteers, serving in Co. I until the close of the war, when he received his honorable discharge.
December 24, 1867, he was united in marriage to Louisa E. Hawkins by the Rev. F. Hutchinson. To this union were born ten children, five of whom survive. In early winter, in the quiet of his home, he professed faith in Christ and during his illness he frequently expressed himself as being perfectly satisfied and ready to enter the great beyond. Surviving him are his wife and five children, viz: Carl, of Evansville; Mrs. Minnie Lenn of Chandler; Claude and Fanny of San Antonio, Tex., and Miss Goldie, who resides at home. All were able to attend him during his last illness. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. Zeralda Holder, of Paradise; one brother, Ira B. of near Chandler, and twelve grandchildren. Besides these there are a host of relatives and friends.
The Fuquay family came to this city from their home near Paradise in 1903, Mr. Fuquay entering the milling business. Later he conducted a grocery store, retiring there on account of ill health about a year ago.
