These pictures were in the 1955 flood. I have been going through my pictures and throwing away a lot of them. Thought you might like these.

I saved the old deeds and papers, thinking the Sonoma Co. Historical Society might be interested in them if you don't want them.
My brother, Lawrence, passed away Nov. 25, He was buried in the Fulkerson plot. Mom had requested that the plot reserved for here was to be Lawrences....

...There is a connection somewhere between the Fulkersons and Cummins families. Florence Harris was a first cousin of my mother on the Fulkerson side and a second cousin on the Cummins side.
My grandparents lived on Santa Rosa Ave. not far from Luther Burbank's home, and my parents (Helen) and your grandfather's parents (Aunt Moll) lived close by. I remember Aunt Moll made the best bread and would always give me bread and butter and sugar. I loved your grandfather, "Milt," and thought he was the most handsome person. He had a motorcycle and gave me a ride on it. I was in seventh heaven.
The China town property owned by my grandparents was located just behind the courthouse. I remember going with my grandmother to collect the rent from the Chinese and they always had some little gift for me.
My sister and a niece, who lives in Santa Rosa <elsewhere she says Richmond>, are the only ones left of my immediate family...
I taught school for thirty years and have been retired for 37 years.
My husband, Shirley, was also a teacher and later and later an administrator. He died eight years ago...
They used to tell me when I was a little girl that my grandfather and George Washington's were second cousins!

...My grandparents <Stephen and Amanda Fulkerson> came across the plains in a caravan and landed in Santa Rosa...
"Grandpap" was from Kentucky and Grandma from Missouri. I was too young to remember my grandfather except he was ill and died before I was old enough to really know him. There were eight children in the family. My mother, Helen, and Bruce were born when my grandmother was in her forties. Some of the older children were grown and married when they were born. Many of Mom's nieces and nephews were older than she.
I never knew some of my aunts and uncles as they settled at some time around the Salinas area.
My Aunt Moll married a Wendt. Aunt Loll (Laura) married a Badger and Aunt Nora, a Leggett, Uncle Bruce and Uncle Dick (Richard) married and all settled in Santa Rosa.
My mom married a Cummins and my mother, Dad, brother and I were all born in Santa Rosa.
One aunt, Cade, married a Grider and lived around Salinas. I didn't know any of that group.
In the old part of the Santa Rosa cemetery is a fairly large Fulkerson plot. There are several buried there that I have never heard of.
My grandmother gave me a beautiful big leather bound book of Sonoma Co. <An Illustrated History of Sonoma County, California (1889)> and there was quite a history of the Fulkerson family. I believe they were Pennsylvania Dutch. My book burned in a school fire. I was teaching a class about the Bear Flag Rebellion and had taken the book to school, when the school burned and I lost my book. I often wondered if the library might have one like it but if they did it probably was lost during the 1906 earthquake (year of my birth).
I would be very interested to have any information you have gathered.
I'll be happy to help you in any way I can.
Your grandmother was in touch with Alta Leggett Spaulding who lives in Richmond. She may be able to help you...
