Charles Fulkerson b: 1863
		James Fulkerson b: 1853
	Within our family there is a story of two brothers who left home and were never heard from again.  No one knows who they are and those that knew about the story are no longer with us.  From my research so far I have not been able to find two of Freds brothers,  James (R or H) and Charles M.  Other than when they lived as children in Hiram and Mary's household.  In the 1900 census Mary says she has had 10 children and only 3 were left living at the time.  They would be Fred, Nettie, and Edgar.  So obviously James and Charles had passed away by then.  Did Hiram and Mary have them buried or were they given up for dead after they disapeared? No one in my imeadiate family (Hurl's Line) knows anything about this or even anything about Fred's brothers or sisters.  aparently they were never around for the family to get to know.  Only Hurl's siblings seemed to know anything about Hiram, and that was very limited, but never talked about Hiram's other children that I'm aware of so I'm not sure they even knew anything.  Was there a reason Fred moved his family to Michigan while everyone else stayed in Indiana??  We may never know the answer to that one.   However I can't help but feel that there is someone out there in the family who has an answer to this.
