The boy in this photo is Willard G. Fulford. We are sure the woman is Ruth B. Parker Fulford, wife of Eliphalet Fulford. Ruth B Fulford, wife of Eliphalet Fulford, is buried at Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis. Her name appears in the Lakewood Cemetery web site and the calculated birth year matches her birth year. Upon examining the actual burial plot record at the cemetery office, Ruth was in a plot that was owned by James E Rowe who is the brother of Lizzie Rowe ‎(wife of Ruth's son George Fulford)‎. Perhaps after Eliphalet died, Ruth moved to Minneapolis to live with George, which explains the location of her final resting place and the reason we believe she is in the photo with her grandson Willard.


Update 8 Oct 2007: The 1895 MN Territorial Census shows Ruth B. Fulford living with her son George Fulford in Minneapolis.
