Copy from Don Fulkerson

From Illustrated Atlas of Sonoma County, CA (Reynolds Procter, 1898), p. 16:

 

First Lady Attorney. Mrs. L. V. Barham was born in Sonoma County, CA. While Miss. Fulkerson, she taught in the public schools of the county for three years after which she studied law and was admitted to the practice of the profession by the Supreme Court of California in April, 1895, being the first woman lawyer of Sonoma County. Mrs. Barham has, since her admission, been engaged in the practice of her chosen profession in Santa Rosa, being associated in the practice with her husband who is also a lawyer.

  

Same material reiterated in Gaye LaBaron, Santa Rosa: A Nineteenth Century Town, p. 142.

She obtained a piece of property from her father, John Fulkerson, and the deed is registered Nov. 12, 1892 in Book 141 Page 326 of Sonoma County Deeds .
