Individual Details

Dr. Joseph Fulcher

(4 Mar 1899 - 1 Jul 1980)



Dr. Fulcher was a urologist. He graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Medicine in 1926 and interned at Memphis General Hospital. He practiced medicine in Tulsa, OK.

Eva and Joe adopted Eva's niece Neta Jo, after her mother Neva died. Lived in Tulsa OK at time of Eva's mother's death.

Obituary stated survivors were wife Eva and two daughters, Mrs. C. J. Frazier of Ojai, CA, and Mrs. Floyd Hendrickson of Ft Worth TX; five grandchildren; three sisters, Mrs. S. E. Douglas of Tahlequah, Mrs. W. F. Langston of Pauls Valley [OK], and Mrs. M. F. Coly of Cheyenne, Wyoming. He was buried at Tahlequah City Cemetery, Tahlequah, OK.
He was born Birta, Yell County, AR. Joe was in the U.S. Navy during World War I, aboard the battleship New Hampshire, and served in the Navy Medical Reserve Corp from 1930 to 1937.

Since he was born in 1899 in Arkansas, I checked the 1900 census for his family.

I found of list of attendees at a King family reunion - the daughter married to Floyd Hendrickson was Neta, who was their adopted daughter - daughter of Neva King.

I also have a picture of Jo Frances & Chet, children David & Linda, Frasier - this would seem to be Eva & Joseph's daughter.
