Re: Daniel Fulkerson, KY b. about 1853

Doris, I am researching the Fulkerson family for my friend, Lewis Morrow Fulkerson. He is one of 7 children. His father was Arthur Boyd Fulkerson, born in Kentucky. According to a brother Carl, Arthur went back to Owensboro, KY after he and his wife, Helen Laurent divorced the second time. I found an A. Fulkerson on the SS Death Index who was born March 28, 1899 and died June 4, 1989 in Owensboro, Daviess County, KY. Arthur's wife, Helen Francis Laurent was born December 23, 1918 in Kentucky and she died in October 1984 in Churchville, NY as Helen Francis Williams, wife of Richard Williams.
Arthur & Helen married and had one son, Carl Otis Fulkerson. They divorced, she married Mickey Cato, they had 4 children. Della Francis Cato, Marianne Maxine Cato, Barbara Sue Cato and John Charles Cato. Helen and Mickey divorced and she remarried Arthur Fulkerson. They had 2 more children, William Arthur Fulkerson born September 15, 1946 and Lewis Morrow Fulkerson born August 18, 1947.All children were born in Decatur, Illinois. According to what Lewis remembers being told by and Aunt Bill (Cobb) and Uncle Charles Shuler, his father, Arthur Boyd Fulkerson, was an artist. He had only one arm, having lost one when a grenade exploded.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Alice
