The Record Eagle, Traverse City, MI.  11 Apr 1901
FUNERAL OF MRS. FULGHUM

Last Tribute to Noble and Much Loved Woman Saturday Morning

E. J. Fulghum will return tomorrow with the body of his mother, Mrs. Rebecca 
Fulghum, who died in Indianapolis Tuesday night.  The funeral will be held 
from the residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Fulghum on Eighth street Saturday 
morning at 10 p'clock.

The service will be in charge of Rev. M. A. Kelsey of the Friends church, 
assisted by Rev. W. L. Laufman of the First Methodist church.  the pall 
bearers will be Rev. Josiah Pennington, J. L. Stauton, G. W. Lardie, C. D. 
Kenyon, G. A. Holliday and J. R. Bowen, all of whom have been friends of the 
deceased for many years.

Rebecca Jessup was born in North Carolina, July 7, 1813.  She lived in that 
state until she was 13 years of age, when she removed with her parents to 
Indiana.  Here she was married to Joseph Fulghum in 1833?.

Fourteen years ago they remoed to Traverse City, where they made their home 
till the time of Mr. Fulghum's death in 1889.  Mrs. Fulghum lived with her 
children here most of the time since, spending part of the time however, with 
her daughter in INdianapolis, at whose home she died.

It was her intention up to within a few days of her death to return to this 
city to spend the summer.  A letter eceived here the day before her death 
stated that she was apparently better, and the news of her death came as a 
shock to her relatives here.

Mrs. Fulghum was one of the best loved women in the city and wherever she 
went.  Her friends were limited only by the number that made her acquaintance, 
and among young and old she was loved as few people ever are.  Her loss will 
be keenly felt, especially the Friends church, of which she was a member all 
her life, where her counsel and wisdom were esteemed as very valuable u to the 
time that she last left the city.
