Book on Jacob Fulbright Jr. Available

Many of you remember Dorothy Fulbright Schaper and her husband Bern from early reunions of the FFA. Dorothy and Bern spent many years researching the Fulbright family, and she finally decided to concentrate on the family of Jacob Fulbright, Jr. of Lincoln Co., NC and Cape Girardeau Co., MO. She was preparing to assemble her information for a book at the time of her untimely death in 1993. Two years ago, I contacted Bern, hoping to take a look at Dorothy�s notes for my own research. I asked Bern if I could produce a book from these notes, and he agreed. Bern had organized and filed them, which made the job easier. The resulting book, The Descendants of Jacob Fulbright, Jr. and Barbara (Plunk) Fulbright, by Dorothy Fulbright Schaper, compiled by William R. Eddleman and Bernard J. Schaper, made its debut at the 1999 reunion. If features substantial information on not only Fulbrights, but also the Drum, Hinkle, Limbaugh, Wise, and other families. Any family members who want a copy may order it from me, Bill Eddleman, 1831 Ricardo Drive, Cape Girardeau, MO 63701, for $20 postpaid. The book is 316 pages long, and features an every name index.
