ILLNESS
~~~~~

James Henry Fulcher, aged 73, 5 months and 1 day, died at the family home just north of Thorndale Sunday night at 9:30 o'clock.

Mr. Fulcher was born in Milam County September 12, 1847 near Old Independence, moving to his last residence in the fall of 1872 and residing in the one house continuously until his death.

Being a progressive spirited man he was always identified with every forward move for his community, and his fellowman, he was actively identified with the movement of extermination of the bands of famous horse thieves in this county in the early days.

Besides the widow, four sons and one daughter survive the deceased. J.T. Fulcher, postmaster of Thorndale, being the elder of the sons.

Funeral services were conducted at the late residence by Rev. J.J. Burk, pastor of the Thorndale Baptist church, of which deceased had been a consistent member for more than 30 years, after which interment was made in the Locklin family cemetery near San Gabriel. The funeral was one of the largest in point of attendance ever held in Milam county which attested to the general respect and love held by his fellowman for the deceased.
