4557	iography of Henry W Fulk taken from "Fact and Folklore of Owen County" by Dixie Kline: "Henry W. Fulk was born in Stokes county, North Carolina March 6, 1796. At the age of nine, his father removed to Sarah County. His father then swapped for a farm some distance from this but in the same State. His father was a cooper by trade and not getting along very well financially; at age 17 he (his father) hired him to Nathan Haynes, proprietor of an iron works, at six dollars a month, worked there four years hauling coal and ore and was out many nights until midnight. At the expiration of this time, a family from his neighborhood moved to central Tennessee and he went with them to drive a team, for one dollar a day. He then hired in Tennessee to work on a farm at ten dollars a month. In the Fall, he hired to a man at $15 a month to assist in distilling the ardent spirits and worked 18 months. He says the whisky he made was first class, unlike the foul stuff of today which is a dead shot 40 yards. He then went back to his former employer in Tennessee and cropped with him one summer. In 1820, he bought a horse, saddle and bridle and rode back to North Carolina. On his way, crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains and traveled often a day without seeing a house. When he reached his destination, he went to see his sweetheart, Mary Shore, who was living in Stokes county. They were married January 13, 1820. He then bought 55 acres of land in the woods, built a house on it and made considerable improvements, clearing 30 acres and putting it under fence. In 1830, he sold his farm to his brother-in-law, bought a wagon and team and started for Indiana; at this time his family consisted of six in all. They were 24 days on the road and had some difficulty in crossing the Blue Ridge, Chestnut Ridge, Log and Cumberland Mountains. They arrived in Owen county in the Slough settlement; he then settled on Congress lands, built house and barn and cleared 30 acres, and then -- yes he was -- "entered out". (NOTE: this means he had been squatting on Federal land when it was purchased by someone else, so he was forced to leave.) He went to the northern part of Jefferson Township and again settled on Congress lands; he borrowed money from Isaac Westfall to enter 40 acres, stayed there until 1842 when he sold to Anderson Fry. Then he bought 80 acres in Lafayette Township, set in the woods, so readers can see he opened four farms. In 1853, he had lung fever and was unable to work several years so deeded his farm to his son Jacob Fulk. He took a lease on Abram Kaufman's place for five years. After his lease was out, he made a sale and came to Marshall county, Iowa. In 1866, he lost his companion to cancer and lived single for two years. He married a second time to Pernelli [Penelope] Franklin, lived with her two years and two months and is now living with his son-in-law, Solomon Arney. Mr. Fulk is the father of nine children: Nancy, Elizabeth, John L., Henry P., Mary, Jacob, Louisa, Lucinda and Francis M. All the boys are farmers, three are living in Owen county, two in Marshall county and one in Crawford county, Iowa. Three of his sons served in the late Rebellion (Civil War), one losing his life in the battle of Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia. He is now 78 years old and is white as the delicate snow. He has belonged to the Christian Church 42 years.	Fulk, Henry William (I25913)

4593	Is this the same Julius Turner?: KILLS WIFE. Shoots Son and Turns Weapon on Himself, SON WILL RECOVER Slayer Glad Son Will Recover, but Has no Regrets for Killing Wife. Julius Turner, 69 years old, a Civil War veteran and wealthy farmer of Clay City, shot his wife to death from ambush, seriously wounded his 15 year old son and attempted to commit suicide near Saylor Springs, Ill., on Saturday night. He is under arrest and refuses to partake of food, declaring he will starve himself to death. Turner and his wife had been separated four years. She was 20 years his junior and he was insanely jealous of her. The tragedy was caused by his mistaking his own son for another man. When he saw the youth, who is large for his age, join his mother outside a church where an entertainment was in progress, his jealous frenzy overmastered him, and he opened fire on the pair from his ambush. About 9:30 p.m. Mrs. Turner stepped from the church for a breath of air and as she did so her son, Glenn, arrived from the farm, where he was working. He stepped forward to greet his mother in the shadow, and they stood conversing there a few seconds. Turner, from his position in the ambush of the grove, had a distinct look at his wife as she left the church door but the face of his son was hidden as the boy approached from the roadway. He saw only vaguely the form of a man standing close to his wife, in earnest conversation, and all the jealous rage within him rose up and fired his mind. Drawing a 38 -caliber revolver, he glided to within a few feet of the couple and opened fire on them. The first bullet struck Mrs. Turner in the back. As she started to run another bullett struck her in the head. She died within fiifteen minutes. Then the weapon was turned on her companion, and two more shots rang out. One of the bulletts struck the son in the groin and he fell unconscious beside the bleeding form of his mother. The shots attracted the merrymakers in the church, and the farmers hurried to the scene. Turner was standing over the bodies of his victims, with the revolver in his hand, Glen, the wounded son, had fallen face upward. As Turner stooped down to look at the face of the man whom he suspected to be his wifes admirer, he recognized his son. With a cry of anguish he straightened up and staggered back. Then, placing the muzzle of the revolver against his temple he pulled the trigger and dropped across the body of his son. The boys injury, although serious, not regarded as necessarily fatal. Turners wound is not a serious one. His hand shook when he fired the bullet into his temple and it glanced downward, emerging from his cheek. Young Turner denounced his father for the shooting, and the latter freely admitted having fired the shots. When told his wife was dead he said he had no regret for the act. He reproached himself for having injured his son, and said he had no suspicion of his identity when he shot him. He begged the boys forgiveness and inquired anxiously of the doctors if Glenn would recover. As for himself, he declared he had no further desire to live, and regretted that he had not killed himself instantly. Mrs. Mary Turner was a most estimable woman, and enjoyed the highest respect of her neighbors. She had been a hard-working, industrious wife and mother before the separation, and there had never been the breath of scandal to attach to her conduct. Since his arrest he has refused to partake of nourishment. He declares his purpose to starve himself to death. He is being closely watched to see that he does himself no serious injury. Prosecuting Attorney R. S. C. Reaugh was called to the scene on Sunday, but Turners condition was such as to cause a postponement of the preliminary examination to a later date, and the prisoner was lodge in the jail at Louisville.

4596	Isaac married Elizabeth Dryden shortly after his return from fighting in the Civil War. That marriage was short lived according to the divorce records of 7 Nov 1870 stating that "Elizabeth without just cause, deserted and abandoned the said complainant and refused to cohabit with him for the space of 3 years last present". The divorce was granted on 7 Nov 1870 and Isaac married again on 10 Nov 1870 to Mary Ellen Wood. During their 20 years of marriage they had 9 children: Laura Mae b. 13 Apr 1872, Ada b. 187?, Elsie b. 16 Sep 1876, Estella b. 29 Jan 1878, John A.

Throughout their marriage they lived on their farm in Larkinsburg, Twp, Clay County, IL Contributor: Kathy (Kuenstler) Hursta ? (46990380) * * * * * * * * * * The quiet little village of Edgewood was the scene of a horrible shooting affray last Saturday afternoon. I. W. Edwards having been fatally shot by Alec Bryant. Both parties are from Clay County, IL The shooting was the result of a church quarrel of long standing. Last Saturday, Edwards, a man named Fryman and a Mr. White was in Prices store in Edgewood. Fryman, who it is said, did not know Bryant, nor of the trouble between them, was talking to Edwards when Bryant stepped in. Referring to some trouble Edwards had had a few days before with the Bryants and which had been noised about the neighborhood, Fryman remarked to Edwards that he understood he was becoming quite a fighter. Edwards said he would have fought if his opponent had not run. Bryant took this to mean him and he at once called Edwards a s--n of a b---h. White, who is related to Edwards wife, arose to take Edwards part and resent the insult. With him Edwards also rose and Bryant pulled his revolver. Mr. Price at this junction stepped in between the parties and told them he could have no fuss in his store and that they must go out if they wanted to fight. While he was engaged in this peacemaking, Bryant put his arm around Price and fired at Edwards. The ball struck him in the lower part of the neck and with a wave of his hand to his breast he fell and expired in a few minutes.

4597	Isaac Mitchell was the eldest son of Abraham MITCHELL and Lucinda "Lucy" WILSON. He grew up in Ashe County, North Carolina, just south of the Virginia border and on the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The area where he grew up is now in Alleghany Co., NC. When he was born the area was sparsely settled. Some of the first settlers made a living by trapping. His parents have been attributed to have had as many as 13 children over a 20 year period. These are the names commonly cited: Isaac Mitchell 17831858 Robert Wilson Mitchell 17861845 Levi Mitchell 17881852 Jane "Jennie" Ann Mitchell 17921850 Jimmy Mitchell 1792 Josiah Mitchell 17941921 Hannah Lucinda Mitchell 17961843 Abraham Mitchell 17981865 William Mitchell 1800 Charles Mitchell 18011869 Lucinda Mitchell 18021858 Thomas Mitchell 18031831 David Mitchell In 1807, when Isaac was 24, he was married to Celia Harrell. Some have recorded her maiden name as Hanna, but there was a John Harrell, Sr. and Jr., a Jacob Harrell, and a William Harrell in Ashe County during this period and no Hannas, so Harrell seems the more likely name. Isaac and Celia had the following children: Jacob Mitchell 1808 1852 Ann Jane Mitchell BREWER 1809 1860 William Mitchell 1810 1880 Male Mitchell 1813 before 1820 Elizabeth Mitchell BROWN 1815 1876 Fanny Joan Mitchell ATTO 1821 Isaac and Celia migrated to Lawrence County, IN, about October 1817. Isaac's parents and many of his siblings made the move as well. Celia died about 1825 leaving Isaac with young children to raise. Isaac then married Elizabeth (Betsy) Fender 30 Jan. 1826 in Lawrence County. Elizabeth was about 18 years old at the time of the marriage, nearly the same age as Isaac's oldest son. Isaac and Elizabeth had the following children: Robert Mitchell 1833 1878 Frances Mitchell PIRTLE 1836 1909 Celia Mitchell HUMPHREY 1838 1917 John Mitchell 1840 Alexander Mitchell 1843 1893 Isaac Mitchell was a Deacon of the Missionary Baptist Church for 40 years and was a Deacon when he died in 1858.

iography of Henry W Fulk taken from "Fact and Folklore of Owen County" by Dixie Kline:
"Henry W. Fulk was born in Stokes county, North Carolina March 6, 1796. At the age of nine, his father removed to Sarah County. His father then swapped for a farm some distance from this but in the same State. His father was a cooper by trade and not getting along very well financially; at age 17 he (his father) hired him to Nathan Haynes, proprietor of an iron works, at six dollars a month, worked there four years hauling coal and ore and was out many nights until midnight.
At the expiration of this time, a family from his neighborhood moved to central Tennessee and he went with them to drive a team, for one dollar a day.
He then hired in Tennessee to work on a farm at ten dollars a month. In the Fall, he hired to a man at $15 a month to assist in distilling the ardent spirits and worked 18 months. He says the whisky he made was first class, unlike the foul stuff of today which is a dead shot 40 yards.
He then went back to his former employer in Tennessee and cropped with him one summer.
In 1820, he bought a horse, saddle and bridle and rode back to North Carolina. On his way, crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains and traveled often a day without seeing a house.
When he reached his destination, he went to see his sweetheart, Mary Shore, who was living in Stokes county. They were married January 13, 1820. He then bought 55 acres of land in the woods, built a house on it and made considerable improvements, clearing 30 acres and putting it under fence.
In 1830, he sold his farm to his brother-in-law, bought a wagon and team and started for Indiana; at this time his family consisted of six in all. They were 24 days on the road and had some difficulty in crossing the Blue Ridge, Chestnut Ridge, Log and Cumberland Mountains.
They arrived in Owen county in the Slough settlement; he then settled on Congress lands, built house and barn and cleared 30 acres, and then -- yes he was -- "entered out". (NOTE: this means he had been squatting on Federal land when it was purchased by someone else, so he was forced to leave.)
He went to the northern part of Jefferson Township and again settled on Congress lands; he borrowed money from Isaac Westfall to enter 40 acres, stayed there until 1842 when he sold to Anderson Fry. Then he bought 80 acres in Lafayette Township, set in the woods, so readers can see he opened four farms.
In 1853, he had lung fever and was unable to work several years so deeded his farm to his son Jacob Fulk. He took a lease on Abram Kaufman's place for five years. After his lease was out, he made a sale and came to Marshall county, Iowa.
In 1866, he lost his companion to cancer and lived single for two years. He married a second time to Pernelli [Penelope] Franklin, lived with her two years and two months and is now living with his son-in-law, Solomon Arney.
Mr. Fulk is the father of nine children: Nancy, Elizabeth, John L., Henry P., Mary, Jacob, Louisa, Lucinda and Francis M.
All the boys are farmers, three are living in Owen county, two in Marshall county and one in Crawford county, Iowa.
Three of his sons served in the late Rebellion (Civil War), one losing his life in the battle of Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia.
He is now 78 years old and is white as the delicate snow. He has belonged to the Christian Church 42 years.

Is this the same Julius Turner?:

KILLS WIFE.
Shoots Son and Turns Weapon on Himself,
SON WILL RECOVER
Slayer Glad Son Will Recover, but Has no Regrets for Killing Wife.

Julius Turner, 69 years old, a Civil War veteran and wealthy farmer of Clay City, shot his wife to death from ambush,
seriously wounded his 15 year old son and attempted to commit suicide near Saylor Springs, Ill., on Saturday night.
He is under arrest and refuses to partake of food, declaring he will starve himself to death.
Turner and his wife had been separated four years. She was 20 years his junior and he was insanely jealous of her.
The tragedy was caused by his mistaking his own son for another man.
When he saw the youth, who is large for his age, join his mother outside a church where an entertainment was in
progress, his jealous frenzy overmastered him, and he opened fire on the pair from his ambush.
About 9:30 p.m. Mrs. Turner stepped from the church for a breath of air and as she did so her son, Glenn, arrived
from the farm, where he was working. He stepped forward to greet his mother in the shadow, and they stood conversing
there a few seconds.
Turner, from his position in the ambush of the grove, had a distinct look at his wife as she left the church door but
the face of his son was hidden as the boy approached from the roadway.
He saw only vaguely the form of a man standing close to his wife, in earnest conversation, and all the jealous rage
within him rose up and fired his mind.
Drawing a 38 -caliber revolver, he glided to within a few feet of the couple and opened fire on them. The first
bullet struck Mrs. Turner in the back. As she started to run another bullett struck her in the head. She died within
fiifteen minutes.
Then the weapon was turned on her companion, and two more shots rang out. One of the bulletts struck the son in the
groin and he fell unconscious beside the bleeding form of his mother.
The shots attracted the merrymakers in the church, and the farmers hurried to the scene. Turner was standing over the
bodies of his victims, with the revolver in his hand, Glen, the wounded son, had fallen face upward. As Turner
stooped down to look at the face of the man whom he suspected to be his wifes admirer, he recognized his son. With a
cry of anguish he straightened up and staggered back. Then, placing the muzzle of the revolver against his temple he
pulled the trigger and dropped across the body of his son.
The boys injury, although serious, not regarded as necessarily fatal. Turners wound is not a serious one. His hand shook when he fired the bullet into his temple and it glanced downward, emerging from his cheek.
Young Turner denounced his father for the shooting, and the latter freely admitted having fired the shots. When told
his wife was dead he said he had no regret for the act. He reproached himself for having injured his son, and said he
had no suspicion of his identity when he shot him. He begged the boys forgiveness and inquired anxiously of the
doctors if Glenn would recover. As for himself, he declared he had no further desire to live, and regretted that he
had not killed himself instantly.
Mrs. Mary Turner was a most estimable woman, and enjoyed the highest respect of her neighbors. She had been a
hard-working, industrious wife and mother before the separation, and there had never been the breath of scandal to
attach to her conduct.
Since his arrest he has refused to partake of nourishment. He declares his purpose to starve himself to death. He is
being closely watched to see that he does himself no serious injury.
Prosecuting Attorney R. S. C. Reaugh was called to the scene on Sunday, but Turners condition was such as to cause a postponement of the preliminary examination to a later date, and the prisoner was lodge in the jail at Louisville.

Isaac married Elizabeth Dryden shortly after his return from fighting in the Civil War.

The quiet little village of Edgewood was the scene of a horrible shooting affray last Saturday afternoon.

I. W. Edwards having been fatally shot by Alec Bryant. Both parties are from Clay County, IL The shooting was the result of a church quarrel of long standing.

Last Saturday, Edwards, a man named Fryman and a Mr. White was in Prices store in Edgewood. Fryman, who it is said, did not know Bryant, nor of the trouble between them, was talking to Edwards when Bryant stepped in. Referring to some trouble Edwards had had a few days before with the Bryants and which had been noised about the neighborhood, Fryman remarked to Edwards that he understood he was becoming quite a fighter. Edwards said he would have fought if his opponent had not run.

Bryant took this to mean him and he at once called Edwards a s--n of a b---h. White, who is related to Edwards wife, arose to take Edwards part and resent the insult. With him Edwards also rose and Bryant pulled his revolver. Mr. Price at this junction stepped in between the parties and told them he could have no fuss in his store and that they must go out if they wanted to fight.

While he was engaged in this peacemaking, Bryant put his arm around Price and fired at Edwards. The ball struck him in the lower part of the neck and with a wave of his hand to his breast he fell and expired in a few minutes.

Isaac Mitchell was the eldest son of Abraham MITCHELL and Lucinda "Lucy" WILSON. He grew up in Ashe County, North Carolina, just south of the Virginia border and on the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The area where he grew up is now in Alleghany Co., NC. When he was born the area was sparsely settled. Some of the first settlers made a living by trapping.

His parents have been attributed to have had as many as 13 children over a 20 year period. These are the names commonly cited:

Isaac Mitchell 17831858
Robert Wilson Mitchell 17861845

In 1807, when Isaac was 24, he was married to Celia Harrell. Some have recorded her maiden name as Hanna, but there was a John Harrell, Sr. and Jr., a Jacob Harrell, and a William Harrell in Ashe County during this period and no Hannas, so Harrell seems the more likely name. Isaac and Celia had the following children:

Jacob Mitchell 1808 1852
Ann Jane Mitchell BREWER 1809 1860
William Mitchell 1810 1880
Male Mitchell 1813 before 1820

Isaac and Celia migrated to Lawrence County, IN, about October 1817. Isaac's parents and many of his siblings made the move as well.

Celia died about 1825 leaving Isaac with young children to raise. Isaac then married Elizabeth (Betsy) Fender 30 Jan. 1826 in Lawrence County. Elizabeth was about 18 years old at the time of the marriage, nearly the same age as Isaac's oldest son.

Isaac and Elizabeth had the following children:

Robert Mitchell 1833 1878
Frances Mitchell PIRTLE 1836 1909
Celia Mitchell HUMPHREY 1838 1917
John Mitchell 1840
