RICHARD FULKERSON
A GOOD MAN GONE!
THE OLD REGULAR BAPTIST MINISTER LAID TO REST!
Eld. Richard Fulkerson
[Son of Richard Fulkerson and Grissy Cowsert]
The Subject of our Sketch
Died: At his home, the residence of W.R. Story, near Raum P.O., in this county, March 28, 1800, of heart failure, Eld. Richard Fulkerson, aged 80 years, 5 months and 15 days.
"Uncle Richard" as he was known all over Pope County, and a greater portion of the southern part of Indiana and south-western Kentucky, was only known to be loved and admired by each and everyone who had the pleasure of forming his acquaintance. He was born of poor parentage and grew up to manhood here in Pope county, where he had resided all his life, a greater portion of which has been devoted to earnest and devout Christianity, having professed a hope in immortality in the days of his youth, and in a very short time attached himself to the Regular Baptist church, the church of his choice, and it was soon made manifest that his calling was of greater importance, being that of the ministry. He did not live in the church but few years until he was made an ordained minister of the gospel in which calling he served his Master in a most earnest ferless and devotional way for over fifty-five years.
On January 21, 1841, he was married to Francis Baldwin, with whom he lived a happy life until April 19, 1876, when the almighty ruler seen proper to call her to rest, and relieve her from further duties of the world. To his union there were ten children born, 6 boys and 4 girls, four of whom -- 2 boys and 2 girls -- preceded him to the great beyond. Six are still with the living: 4 boys, John, Charlie, William and Joshua and 2 girls Martha and Orilla.
There is only one whole brother or sister living -- Old "Uncle Tommy" who is now near 90 years old. Two half brothers Robert and Charles Brown and three half sisters Mary Belford, Lucinda Belford and Sally Flick, survive the Rev. Old Uncle.
His last sermon the funeral of the late lamented Mrs. J. B. Floyd some two weeks ago.
All can well and truthfully say an other Good man is gone.
IN MEMORY OF ELDER RICHARD FULKERSON
A noble soul has passed away and quit the walks of man
To reach those realms of endless day, as Christians only can
He's left this world of sin and strife, his earthly toils are done
He lived a long and useful life of four score years and one.
His silent pulpit seems to stand forsaken and alone
In quiet response to death's demands, it's occupant is gone
Those silver hairs, that trembling voice, are seen and heard no more
Yet, while we mourn we might rejoice, because our trials are o'er.
He lived out his allotted years and heaven has set him free
Then ye who mourn should dry your tears and welcome God's decree
But "Uncle Richard" is not dead, his memory yet enshrined
With good deeds done and kind words said, shall live in heart and mind.
But when as time shall roll around, his church shall meet in prayer
But "Uncle Richard" is not found, oh they might miss him there
A towering form, a giant oak, which in the forest stood
Whate'er he did, whate'er he spake, he always meant for good.
It matters not if wrong or right in theory or in theme
His life was good in heaven's sight, and that shall stand supreme
Believe or not his earthly creeds as reason may demand
But honor all his words and deeds, the fruits of heart and hand.
Beyond the power of voice or pen to scale the lofty height
Sits crowned the lives and deeds of men who strive to live aright
A poet, priest or king may live as only such ones can
But they a strict account must give and die as mortal man.
Dear, aged friend, we bid good bye, since thou art passing on
A few short days and we must die and launch in seas unknown.
The young and old, the rich and poor, are falling left and right
Oh, may we safely pass the door to scenes of pure delight.
Written by ROBERT BROWN (half-brother)
Note: Year of death should be 1900, not 1800.

RICHARD FULKERSON
A GOOD MAN GONE!
THE OLD REGULAR BAPTIST MINISTER LAID TO REST!
Eld. Richard Fulkerson
[Son of Richard Fulkerson and Grissy Cowsert]
The Subject of our Sketch
Died: At his home, the residence of W.R. Story, near Raum P.O., in this county, March 28, 1800, of heart failure, Eld. Richard Fulkerson, aged 80 years, 5 months and 15 days.
"Uncle Richard" as he was known all over Pope County, and a greater portion of the southern part of Indiana and south-western Kentucky, was only known to be loved and admired by each and everyone who had the pleasure of forming his acquaintance. He was born of poor parentage and grew up to manhood here in Pope county, where he had resided all his life, a greater portion of which has been devoted to earnest and devout Christianity, having professed a hope in immortality in the days of his youth, and in a very short time attached himself to the Regular Baptist church, the church of his choice, and it was soon made manifest that his calling was of greater importance, being that of the ministry. He did not live in the church but few years until he was made an ordained minister of the gospel in which calling he served his Master in a most earnest ferless and devotional way for over fifty-five years.
On January 21, 1841, he was married to Francis Baldwin, with whom he lived a happy life until April 19, 1876, when the almighty ruler seen proper to call her to rest, and relieve her from further duties of the world. To his union there were ten children born, 6 boys and 4 girls, four of whom -- 2 boys and 2 girls -- preceded him to the great beyond. Six are still with the living: 4 boys, John, Charlie, William and Joshua and 2 girls Martha and Orilla.
There is only one whole brother or sister living -- Old "Uncle Tommy" who is now near 90 years old. Two half brothers Robert and Charles Brown and three half sisters Mary Belford, Lucinda Belford and Sally Flick, survive the Rev. Old Uncle.
His last sermon the funeral of the late lamented Mrs. J. B. Floyd some two weeks ago.
All can well and truthfully say an other Good man is gone.
IN MEMORY OF ELDER RICHARD FULKERSON
A noble soul has passed away and quit the walks of man
To reach those realms of endless day, as Christians only can
He's left this world of sin and strife, his earthly toils are done
He lived a long and useful life of four score years and one.
His silent pulpit seems to stand forsaken and alone
In quiet response to death's demands, it's occupant is gone
Those silver hairs, that trembling voice, are seen and heard no more
Yet, while we mourn we might rejoice, because our trials are o'er.
He lived out his allotted years and heaven has set him free
Then ye who mourn should dry your tears and welcome God's decree
But "Uncle Richard" is not dead, his memory yet enshrined
With good deeds done and kind words said, shall live in heart and mind.
But when as time shall roll around, his church shall meet in prayer
But "Uncle Richard" is not found, oh they might miss him there
A towering form, a giant oak, which in the forest stood
Whate'er he did, whate'er he spake, he always meant for good.
It matters not if wrong or right in theory or in theme
His life was good in heaven's sight, and that shall stand supreme
Believe or not his earthly creeds as reason may demand
But honor all his words and deeds, the fruits of heart and hand.
Beyond the power of voice or pen to scale the lofty height
Sits crowned the lives and deeds of men who strive to live aright
A poet, priest or king may live as only such ones can
But they a strict account must give and die as mortal man.
Dear, aged friend, we bid good bye, since thou art passing on
A few short days and we must die and launch in seas unknown.
The young and old, the rich and poor, are falling left and right
Oh, may we safely pass the door to scenes of pure delight.

RICHARD FULKERSON
A GOOD MAN GONE!
THE OLD REGULAR BAPTIST MINISTER LAID TO REST!
Eld. Richard Fulkerson
[Son of Richard Fulkerson and Grissy Cowsert]
The Subject of our Sketch
Died: At his home, the residence of W.R. Story, near Raum P.O., in this county, March 28, 1800, of heart failure, Eld. Richard Fulkerson, aged 80 years, 5 months and 15 days.
"Uncle Richard" as he was known all over Pope County, and a greater portion of the southern part of Indiana and south-western Kentucky, was only known to be loved and admired by each and everyone who had the pleasure of forming his acquaintance. He was born of poor parentage and grew up to manhood here in Pope county, where he had resided all his life, a greater portion of which has been devoted to earnest and devout Christianity, having professed a hope in immortality in the days of his youth, and in a very short time attached himself to the Regular Baptist church, the church of his choice, and it was soon made manifest that his calling was of greater importance, being that of the ministry. He did not live in the church but few years until he was made an ordained minister of the gospel in which calling he served his Master in a most earnest ferless and devotional way for over fifty-five years.
On January 21, 1841, he was married to Francis Baldwin, with whom he lived a happy life until April 19, 1876, when the almighty ruler seen proper to call her to rest, and relieve her from further duties of the world. To his union there were ten children born, 6 boys and 4 girls, four of whom -- 2 boys and 2 girls -- preceded him to the great beyond. Six are still with the living: 4 boys, John, Charlie, William and Joshua and 2 girls Martha and Orilla.
There is only one whole brother or sister living -- Old "Uncle Tommy" who is now near 90 years old. Two half brothers Robert and Charles Brown and three half sisters Mary Belford, Lucinda Belford and Sally Flick, survive the Rev. Old Uncle.
His last sermon the funeral of the late lamented Mrs. J. B. Floyd some two weeks ago.
All can well and truthfully say an other Good man is gone.
IN MEMORY OF ELDER RICHARD FULKERSON
A noble soul has passed away and quit the walks of man
To reach those realms of endless day, as Christians only can
He's left this world of sin and strife, his earthly toils are done
He lived a long and useful life of four score years and one.
His silent pulpit seems to stand forsaken and alone
In quiet response to death's demands, it's occupant is gone
Those silver hairs, that trembling voice, are seen and heard no more
Yet, while we mourn we might rejoice, because our trials are o'er.
He lived out his allotted years and heaven has set him free
Then ye who mourn should dry your tears and welcome God's decree
But "Uncle Richard" is not dead, his memory yet enshrined
With good deeds done and kind words said, shall live in heart and mind.
But when as time shall roll around, his church shall meet in prayer
But "Uncle Richard" is not found, oh they might miss him there
A towering form, a giant oak, which in the forest stood
Whate'er he did, whate'er he spake, he always meant for good.
It matters not if wrong or right in theory or in theme
His life was good in heaven's sight, and that shall stand supreme
Believe or not his earthly creeds as reason may demand
But honor all his words and deeds, the fruits of heart and hand.
Beyond the power of voice or pen to scale the lofty height
Sits crowned the lives and deeds of men who strive to live aright
A poet, priest or king may live as only such ones can
But they a strict account must give and die as mortal man.
Dear, aged friend, we bid good bye, since thou art passing on
A few short days and we must die and launch in seas unknown.
The young and old, the rich and poor, are falling left and right
Oh, may we safely pass the door to scenes of pure delight.
