Notes:

A native of Indiana, Mr. Fulk moved to Ingraham as a youth and then moved to Noble while a young man. He had been unusually active for a man of his age until recently, when he became ill and had been bedfast for some time until his death.

Birth:
1910 Census says he was born in 1849
1900 Census says he was born in March 1848

Note: Joy Upton's pedigree chart shows his birth year as 1831. This would have made Levi approximately 112 years old at his death. Until proven wrong, I believe that this may be a typographical error, and will accept his birth date as 1851 as indicated by other researchers.

Died:
