Fulcher
William Fulcher came to the area in 1896 and was a well-known agriculturist.  
He wed Elizabeth Bock and they had three children, Abraham (Abe), Ella, and 
Julianna.  Abe wed Blanche Luckhart and had one daughter, Juanita who wed 
Wayne Henderson and lives on a family farm near Williamsville.  Ella wed 
Darrell Shockey and they had one son, Jerry.  They farmed and lived on the 
original family farmstead.  Julianna wed Richard Stringer and they had one 
daughter, Elizabeth.  During the Depression years, the Fulcher’s served their 
famous Sunday Chicken Dinners at their home on Mt. Fulcher (which is about 3 
miles south of Elkhart).  People came from near and as far as Springfield to 
partake of the bounteous dinners that sole for One Dollar.  They also raised 
pink peonies on the south side of the hill to sell for decorations on Memorial 
Day.  It was a beautiful sight traveling north on old Route 66.
