James M. Fulcher, farmer and stock raiser, was born in Schuyler County, in 1844, and is the second of four children of John S. and Mary (Alverson) Fulcher. The father was of English-Irish descent, and born in Boone County, Mo., in 1819. His father, Jefferson Fulcher, was a native of Virginia and a soldier in the War of 1812, having fought in the battle of Tamer. He was an early pioneer of Madison County, Ky., and settled in Boone County, Mo., in an early day, while the present State was yet a territory. For some years he engaged in traffic with the Indians and made several trips each year to Santa Fe. In 1836, he settled in what is now Schuyler County, Mo., where he died in 1859.

John S. was reared in Boone County, and came with his father to Schuyler County, Mo., in 1836. He was married in Howard County, in 1841, and located on the Grand Divide, where he farmed until his death in 1852. Having been reared in Missouri during the early history of that State, when Indians still inhabited the country, he associated with the neighboring tribes and learned their language, and also became very proficient in hunting and other sports. The mother of our subject was born in Madison County, Ky., and when eight years old was taken by her parents to Howard County, Mo. Both she and her husband were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Her death occurred in 1860.

James M. lived with his mother prior to her decease, and received a common school education. He was the main support of the family. In 1864 he was married to Miss Susannah, daughter of David A. and Rachel Roberts. Mrs. Fulcher was born in Schuyler County, in 1846, and has borne her husband nine children, seven living: Emma (wife of W. E. Stacy), John D., Etta, Cora, Eva, William and Reuben. He has resided five miles northwest of Queen City, near Julesburg, since his marriage, where he has a farm of 1.20 acres in one tract, and eighty acres in another. Mr. Fulcher was reared during the early days of Missouri, and endured the hardships of pioneer life during his youth, but has kept pace with the advancement of the State, and is now one of the enterprising farmer citizens of his county. He was elected justice of the peace, serving four years, and was then re-elected and served another term with equal satisfaction. Two appeals have been taken from his decisions as justice, and were both settled by appellants before the trial in the circuit court. In politics he is strictly Independent and votes for the man he thinks worthy without regard to party affiliation. His first presidential vote was cast for Grant in 1868. He has been a member of the Christian Church since thirty years of age, and has been an elder in the same for some years. His wife is also a member of the same church, as are also the four eldest children.
