CELEBRATE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF
WEDDING
Santa Rosa, September 4. -- Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Tripp
Fulkerson celebrated their golden wedding anniversary here a few days ago. What
lent additional interest to the celebration was the fact that the couple were
married in this vicinity fifty years ago. It was a double wedding, Stephen
Tripp Fulkerson marrying Miss Amanda Cockrill, while George Hawkins took Miss
Amanda Booth as his bride. Rev. Mr. Brown of the Christian church performed the
marriage ceremony.
Mrs. Fulkerson arrived
here from Missouri in 1853, and her husband came from Kentucky the following
year. They where married when they were 18 and 15, respectively. Seven children
were present at the celebration to-day, as well as many of the twenty-four
grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.
