I had a fun time researching Linus and seperating his line from the other Fulkerson cousins in Clinton County.  I could find no reference to his first Wife Mary other than the two Census (1870 & 1880).  They had only one child I could determin.  However Eddie had eight other children.  Linus then remarried Nancy and settled down in their older years to retire.  They had a housekeeper and no children in the house.  Though the 1900 Census lists Nancy as a mother of three.  possibly from a prevous marriage since she was 54 years old when they married.  She died in 1901 and Linus again remarried in 1903 to Birdie who was their housekeeper and 41 years his Junior.  I found no trace of her after his death in 1916.  She was only 41 at the time.  He was  82.
Eddies son Linus F. was a farmer and lived with his sister Sylvia just prior to both their marriages.  When she lived with her parents she is show as being born in 1892.  However on the Census in 1920 and 1930 she is shown as being born in 1894.  Nillie didn't appear to have any known children.  Bella lived at least until she was 22 living with her parents however I could find no record of her, Maud, Gail, or Harold after their childhood.
