A gathering of family and friends will be conducted from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Monday, December 29th at Chapman’s Mortuary, 2851 3rd Avenue, Huntington, with a graveside service scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 30th ,at Crown City Cemetery with Pastor Alfred Holley officiating. The processional will depart from Chapman’s Mortuary at 12:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Dr. Fulks was born on February 21, 1933 on a farm in Gallia County, Ohio, the youngest son of Grover and Flossie Fulks. He graduated from Mercerville High School, earned a B.S. degree from Rio Grande College, a M.A. from Marshall University, and a Doctorate from The University of Tennessee. He was a Professor Emeritus at Marshall University where he taught in the College of Education from 1968-1998. He was also a veteran of the United States Air Force. Loved by his students, he impacted many with his passion for education and sense of humor. Author of two collections of essays, Tragedy on Greasy Ridge and Tick Ridge Faces the South, Dr. Fulks wrote about people, places, and events in the central Appalachian region. His essays on the history and happenings of this region evoke both the melancholy and the humor that he saw as so much a part of life. His essays in Timeline and other magazines often focused on bluegrass musicians and the music they make. Whether he was writing about children’s games, one-room schoolhouses, “white whiskey”, Clyde Beatty’s lion-taming act, the Waterloo Wonders basketball team, or a grisly murder in 1914 Lawrence County, Ohio, he made local history come to life. Danny is survived by two daughters, Candy Taylor (Mike) and Cathy Thomas (Rick) and six grandchildren, Michael, Emily, Andrew, Gary, Daniel and Nate. He is also survived by his brother Atlee Fulks of Gallia County, Ohio.
