Hartford Republican
February 19, 1892
Sanford L. Fulkerson
Was born and reared in Ohio county near Ceralvo, on Green
River. He remained with his father on the farm until he was twenty-one years of
age, when he started in life to battle for himself. He carried with him the same
rugged honesty, that had characterized his youth, and which has since made him
so popular with his people, and won for him his well merited success.
Mr. Fulkerson has filled several positions of honor and
trust, with great credit to himself, and benefit to his country. He was elected
Constable in the old Centertown District, in 1875, and remained one term. During
the years 1877-78-79- 80 he was Deputy Sheriff; in 1881-82 he was Deputy
Assessor; he was Deputy Clerk in his part of the county; in 1888 he was elected
and served as Police Judge of Ceralvo; in 1889-90 and until June, 1891, he was
Deputy Sheriff under our present Sheriff, Mr. S. C. Taylor, when he took his
seat as Justice of the Peace for the Rockport Magisterial District, to which
position he was elected in August, 1890.
Perhaps no man in Ohio county has been as continuously in
the service of the people, and filled so many different positions in the last
seventeen years us has Mr. Fulkerson. He has been married twice and has two
children, both boys -- Henry, aged 8, and McHenry, aged 4 years.
He has given much attention to music, both vocal and
instrumental, having won several prizes in contests in vocal music, and having
organized and maintained one or two very successful cornet bands.
Mr. Fulkerson is now engaged in mercantile business at Ceralvo,
where he holds his office as Justice of the Peace.
