Notes:

He was what many called a recluse, but actually the term doesn't fit him as he was one who prefers to stay at home, where he cared for his elderly father.

Columbus Fulk never saw a picture show, carnival or circus, or even a concrete highway. His only means of keeping in touch with the outside world was his avid tendency of reading the newspapers and communicating with his family members. He was actually one of 12 children, seven boys and five girls.

Columbus was said to be an accomplished musician having taught himself as well as learning from his father. He was also reported to have been a fine watch repairman.

(The above information was from a story many years ago in Grit magazine dated around 1936)

In fact he did get away from home because at the time of his death he was living at Burgin Manor in Olney.

Notes:

Esther Pauline Thomason, age 92, of Flora, Illinois, passed away Sunday, November 27, 2022, at Flora Gardens Care Center.

She was born July 27, 1930, in Olney, the daughter of Peter and Stella (Scherer) Fulk. She was united in marriage to Raymond Thomason on September 3, 1951, and together they shared 51 wedding anniversaries until his death on January 7, 2003.

Pauline was a graduate of Richland County High School. She loved flowers, and her green thumb produced beautiful gardens year-round; taking walks until she physically could no longer do so was one of her favorite daily rituals; she loved playing Bingo with all her friends at Heritage Woods; and doing daily word search puzzles kept her busy. When she was younger, she volunteered endless hours at a local nursing home, as she loved helping others. She enjoyed getting together with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Pauline's pride and joy was that she and her husband Raymond adopted five children from Korea. After being told they could not adopt any more than three children, she appealed this decision. Congressman George Shipley from Illinois wrote a bill to eliminate the restriction on the number of children a family can adopt. Both George and Georgia were named after Congressman Shipley.

She is survived by her children: June "Buster" Roland Thomason (Glenda Onyette) of Grayville, Eleanor Alice (Tim) Ramseier of Terre Haute, Indiana, Raymond (Jackie) Thomason Jr. of Panama City Beach, Florida, Georgia Ellen (James) Ewing of Flora, and George Edward (Samantha) Thomason of Orchardville; 14 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; a sister: Shelby Snider of Dundas; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; a daughter: Donna Jane Thomason; and 3 siblings.

Our family is blessed to know that our mother is now walking alongside other loved ones who entered the gates of Heaven before her. However, we are assured that her greatest joy is being in the presence of our Savior Jesus Christ in her Eternal Home. The below words from a favorite family hymn, I Come to The Garden Alone, reflect the joy she is now experiencing: "And He walks with me, and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His own, and the joy we share as we tarry there none other has ever known."

We want to express our great gratitude to the staff at Heritage Woods of Flora, Flora Gardens Care Center, and Clay County Hospice for their wonderful facilities and the excellent care and compassion they showed to our mother during her last few years and days.

A memorial ceremony will be held at 4 p.m. on Saturday, January 14, 2023, at Frank & Bright Funeral Home in Flora. A visitation will be held from 3-4 p.m. on Saturday at the funeral home. Memorial donations are suggested to Jireh India Mission and will be accepted through the funeral home. To share a condolence or memory, visit www.frankandbright.com.

Notes:

Maxine M. Fryburger, 89, of Noble, Illinois, passed away on Wednesday, February 21, 2024 at Richland Nursing & Rehab in Olney, Illinois.



Maxine was born on July 10, 1934 to Thomas and Ola (Fulk) Mitchell. She and her twin sister Kathleen were born to her parents who had 9 children live to adulthood. Not having a middle name, she proudly took Mitchell as her middle name when she married George E. Fryburger on June 18, 1956. They spent 67 years of marriage side by side before he passed on November 28, 2023. In the early years Maxine worked at the garment factory in Olney before spending her days farming with George.



After they moved to town, she became a care companion. She was strong in her faith and was an example to many. She made it her mission to provide a ready meal to anyone who sat at her table by hunting, growing food, raising meat and milking her beloved Brown Swiss cows. It has been said that more than once Maxine provided rabbit for supper by throwing a hitch pin from atop her tractor. She made several family cookbooks tying together her love of sharing family heritage and family recipes with others. She had a knack for witching wells and found water for many in the area.



Maxine and George had two children, Deborah (Richard) Hanson of Morris, IL and Bradley (Susan) Fryburger of Olney, IL. Maxine passed a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, history, resourcefulness and family pride to her grandchildren; twins Ellen (Tony) Brown and Emily (James) Schoonover, Jennifer (Andrew) Wolanik, Shelly (Phillip) Ahn, Jonathan (Ashley) Fryburger, and Kyle (Valeria) Hanson. She was adamant that her “Babies” (grandchildren and great-grandchildren) were good because she believed that they were and that they would never be too big to sit on a parent or grandparents lap. She had an endless amount of patience for not only her grandchildren but her great-grandchildren; Rayne Goff, Emma Brown, Cassidy M. Mitchell Brown, Norah Brown, Maggie Ola R. Brown, Tyson Brown, Joelle Brown, Reid Fryburger, twins Mitch and Jack Wolanik, and Brady Fryburger. She was happiest when the table that Grandpa had made was full.



She is survived by her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren; Siblings Ruth Elaine O’Brien, Thomas (Glenda) Mitchell, Kay Miller, her twin sister Kathleen Hagen; and her many nieces and nephews.



She is preceded in death by her husband George; siblings Charles Mitchell, Lawrence Mitchell, Lois Hagen and Beulah Brown. She has loved and lost many other close friends, family, and those she considered to be family as well. She believed family was family, no matter how far down the line.



Maxine leaves behind a legacy of good memories, sayings, tips, tricks and most of all, love. She will be missed immensely.



A funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, February 24, 2024 at Kistler-Patterson Funeral Home in Olney, with a visitation beginning two hours prior to service time at the funeral home.



Interment will follow the service at Hanna Cemetery.
