Dr. Fulkerson has devoted his life in Sonoma County, up to within a comparatively recent period, almost exclusively to the practice of his profession. Now over eighty years of age, he feels the necessity of rest and proposes to quietly, under his own vine and fig tree, enjoy the well earned peace and quiet, which, if the prayers of hosts of many warm friends be answered, may for many years yet be his. Politically, since the first presidency of Andrew Jackson, the doctor has been identified with the Democratic party. Sixty years he has been a member of the Masonic fraternity and was one of the charter members of the Santa Rosa chapter.
