My grandfather lived with Uncle Bruce's family after his parents died.

Note from my grandmother: "2 boys Henry living in Guernville, (re)married Maude had 2 sons 1 son living."

They lived at Point Richmond in the 20's and in Monte Rio in the 50's according to the family stories. I supposedly visited them in Monte Rio when I was 6 months old.

From the 1920 Richmond City Directory, Bruce C. Fulkerson is listed as a stableman living at 509 Tewksbury along with Maude. Clarence E. Fulkerson is also listed at this address. An Oliver Fulkerson, who is probably from a different family line, is also listed living in Richmond at this time.

The 1921 Richmond City Directory lists Bruce as a laborer living at the same address with Maude. Clarence is listed as an automechanic and living at 1215 Roosevelt Avenue.

The 1922 Richmond City Directory lists Bruce as a teamster. Clarence is still listed as a automechanic but is back to living with Bruce and Maude on Tewksbury.

The 1923 Richmond City Directory lists "Claire Fulkerson" as a mechanic living at 577 5th. Bruce is still a teamster living with Maude, and their son "Henry S." is listed as a student also at the same address.
