On November 10th, 1844 she was united in marriage to Levi Fulk in Brown County Ohio, and they with their little family removed from there to Illinois in the fall of 1850, and settled in what was then and is yet called Hunter Settlement in the south part of Bureau County. They lived there for two years and then removed to Osceola township this county in the vicinity of where she and her family have lived for more than forty years. In her early life she was classed among the Methodist Episcopal' s and held to this belief through life. She was kind wife, mother, and neighbor, ever ready to minister to the wants of those in distress. To Mr. and Mrs. Fulk were born ten children-six daughters and four sons-eight of whom with the aged father are left to mourn the death of one who has been to them all that a wife and mother could be."
