Death of Dr. P.S. Fulkerson

Died, after a brief illness at his home near Central College in this city, Saturday afternoon, Dec. 16, Dr. P.S. Fulkerson, aged nearly 79 years. He had been in a bad state of health for two months but not such as seriously to interrupt the practice of his profession until about two weeks before his death. Uremic poisoning developed and after four days confinement to bed he passed away.

Putman Smith Fulkerson, eldest son of Jacob V. and Catherine Ewing Fulkerson was born near Stickleyville, Lee county Virginia, Jan. 20, 1827. He was the second of a family of eleven children, of whom four survive: Mrs. Margaret Lyons, of Kentucky; Mrs. Ellen Frick, of Kansas City; Mrs. Emma Reeder, of Batesville, Arkansas; and Dr. J.J. Fulkerson, of this city. Of the other brothers and sisters, now dead, two had lived in Missouri: Dr. Albert Fulkerson, who died in this city about eighteen months ago, and James P. Fulkerson, who lived in this county for two years just before the war between the states.

Dr. Fulkerson came to this county from Virginia in 1847 and commenced the practice of his profession on Texas Prairie, making his home with "Squire" Walton, at that time one of the most widely known men in Western Missouri. He had previously studied medicine for six years with his uncle, James P. Fulkerson, and had attended lectures in one of the medical colleges of Louisville, Ky. After practicing for several years in this state he went to Philadelphia where he took the post graduate course in the Jefferson Medical College, finishing in 1854. Returning to Missouri he located at Chapel Hill, then a flourishing seat of education. Dr. Fulkerson was practicing medicine at Chapel Hill while Francis M. Cockrell was teaching in Chapel Hill College, and here began a friendship which lasted until death.

When the war came Dr. Fulkerson, who was never lukewarm in anything, heartily espoused the cause of the South and served through the struggle as surgeon of Shelby's brigade. Returning to this county at the close of the war he located at Wellington; and in 1867---Oct. 15---he was married to Miss Mary Jane Ridings, daughter of Thomas Wentworth Ridings, of Wellington, who survives.

Of their four children only one is living, Miss Katherine C. Fulkerson, of this city. Dr. Emmett Fulkerson died Nov. 16, of this year, just one month before his father. Archibald Fulkerson, the second son, died Jan. 1898. The second daughter died in infancy.

In 1876 Dr. Fulkerson was elected to the office of county collector, ??? office be filled two terms. He ??? to Lexington with his family in ??? year and conducted his office ??? through deputies without ??? interruption to his professional ???. In 1884 he was appointed postmaster of Lexington during the first Cleveland administration. This office, too, was efficiently conducted though deputies. He had no desire, nor was it possible for his, to get away from a professional practice which for more than fifty years taxed his physical strength to the utmost. He was president of the County Medical Society from its reorganization to the time of his death. He was more than once president of the District Medical Society of Kansas City, and several times vice president of the State Society, before which he was often appointed to read papers upon medical subjects.

Died, at the family residence, in this city, Saturday, January 1, 1909, of diabetes, Archibald, son of Dr. and Mrs. P.S. Fulkerson, aged 23 years.

To man's life no fixed span is allotted. The house when death shall come is to us as the future-a sealed book-and it must ever remain so. Before the eye of man has been hung a veil that his gaze is powerless to penetrate, and what lies beyond it must to him remain a mystery. Whether the future holds in store for him misery or happiness, woe or joy, he knows not; but he must march forward through an unknown pathway, the end of which is death. Where or when this pathway shall end is to him unknown, but that there is but one end he realizes. Death surely lies in wait for him at some point on his journey, but he passes on fearlessly. A promise has been given him of everlasting life in the world beyond, and to reach it he much meet the dark angel and succumb to him. A merciful Father sent His only Son to dwell among mankind and impart to them the glad news of salvation. In the beautiful life beyond, the glories of heaven wait us. There we cast aside the sufferings and woes of this world and enter into a spiritual life with all its richest blessings. The light from the Savior's face shall illumine all things, and made clear to our eyes what before had been shrouded in mystery.

The death of Archibald Fulkerson is mourned alike by young and old in this city, where he spent the happy days of his life before disease fastened its hold upon him and marked him for its victim. Bright, intelligent, and possessing the gentlemanly qualities which so endeared him to all, a bright future seemed spread out before him, and he had apparently but to wait and claim the joys which were in store for him. That idol of his parents' hearts, the friend of everyone who knew him, he had just entered young manhood when he was stricken down with disease. The many friends, as they gathered around his grave, knew that death to his was a relief from the sufferings he had endured. They remembered him as when, a few years ago, he appeared with the flush of health upon his cheek, and mourned the fate which had called him to the brighter would beyond. They mourned at parting from him; but, realizing that death meant for him happiness, the sting of death was allayed.

The funeral was held from the family residence. Sunday afternoon, and the casket containing the mortal remains of the loved one was consigned to a grave among the sleeping dead in Machpelah cemetery. A large concourse of friends followed the body to its last resting place, and placed beautiful and pure flowers upon the new-made grave.

3707 Life Story

The following is shared by the oldest grandson of Mary Alta (Roney) Cowherd from an email that Lloyd N. Cowherd wrote:
"My grandmother Mary Alta Roney Cowherd had a younger, wilder, sister named Effa Toma Roney, who at age 16, ran off with a drummer (traveling salesman, employer unkown). No marriage has been found. She later wrote to her favorite sister Mary, that she lived in Rand, CO, and was married to a wealthy rancher named Henning J. Peterson. After his death she lived in a relatively small cabin in Rand, which is near the Wyoming border about half way across Colorado, in a wide valley between two large mountain ranges. When we visited her in 1948, she banished her live-in hired hand to a smaller furnished cabin in the back yard, while we were there. She later married him and became Mrs. Troy Ridings. After she was again widowed, Barbara and I stopped by her cabin in 1978 and she was just coming out of the smaller cabin covered with blood, from butchering a deer she had shot up in the Rabbit Ears Range of mountains south of her home. She announced that she had, for the first time in her life, purchased a license, then went hunting, shot the deer, field dressed it, hung it in a tree to cool, and the following day, had driven her old jeep to get it. She offered us tea, after I had explained that our last meeting had been while we were in Colorado in 1948. I was impressed by her activite life at age 87. We moved on to Denver, Colorado Springs, and into New Mexico, before diverting eastward to Texas, and then stopped with another of my grandmother's sisters, Martha Mary Roney, who had married Homer Samuel Hawkins, formerly of Norborne, MO, who had made a fortune growing wheat in the boom times after World War I, near Texoma, on the Oklahoma panhandle, Texas panhandle, border. He lost all of his land during the Depression, managing only to keep the taxes paid on one section (640 acres) of practically worthless land. Before 1940 and so before World War II, oil was struck on his worthless land, and he was suddenly back in the wheat growing business, making a very comfortable living during that war. Another sister had married a man, George Garnier, who took over the gravestone business in Kansas City, Kansas, after the father Benjamin Franklin Roney, sold his land in Fairfield Township, and invested in making tombstones. There were other sisters and a brother. Their mother was Emma (Petty) Roney."
