Dr. Elias Fulp was graduate of the University of NC & Medical University of New York City as a Medical Doctor and on 6/25/1892 was appointed Postmaster at Fulp Post Office in Stokes Co, NC. The Postoffice was moved to Forsyth Co 2/2/1903. The Postoffice reopened in the general mercantile store, belonging to Mr. Silas M. Johnson. The Postoffice soon closed, but the store operated for many years. Mrs. S. M. Johnson sold the store to Mr Ernest Fulp, Dr. Fulp's son, in the early 1940s.

Dr. Fulp furnished the land and supervised the building of Fulp Moravian Church in 1893.

Dr. Fulp was Postmster at Fulp, NC in 1892, moved to Forsyth in 1903, returned to Stokes in 1907. Dr Fulp was a Justic of the Peace.

Dr. Fulp died 6/16/1924 and was buried at Fulp Moravian Cemetery. He was reinterred at "God's Acre" at Old Salem at the time of his wife's death in 1934. His wife is also buried at Old Salem.

The train depot was across the road from the store, and was called Fulp Station. After the station was no longer in service, Dr. Fulp regained flag service from N&W Railroad. Railroad officials honored this as long as his descendants lived at Fulp.

The original Fulp School was a one room frame structure. The building and one acre of land was sold to James A. Barker for $5.00 in 1899. The next Fulp school was located next to Fulp Moravian Church and served both Forsyth and Stokes Counties. The school had 2 rooms and served grades 1-3 and 4-7. Fulp School closed in the 1920s. The school was remodeled into a residence and is presently (1990) owned by the Augmon Nelson heirs.

Dr. Fulp's home was owned by Mrs. Gladys Smith Brown in 1990.

Notes:

Death notices from the 5-10-1888 "Peoples Press" (Salem, NC) 1851-1892 list: "Joseph Fulp, aged 73 years, 6 months, and 20 days, n.d., at his home in Stokes Co, of Brights's disease. Mr Fulp was a well-known citizen".
Based on Richard Fulp's family group sheet for Peter and Nancy, I have linked the above Joseph to be the son of Peter Fulp and Nancy Faire. Also the death notice date of 5-10-1888 coincides close enough with Richard's listing of 5-2-1888.

Joseph married Jane L BRANSON. Jane was born in 1815 in NC; died in in Bethlehem Meth Ch., Forsyth Co., NC. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Witness: Solomon Fulp
Death notice from the 2-17-1876 "Peoples Press" (Salem, NC) 1851-1892 gives the following account of Peter's death. "Fulp, Peter, of Forsyth Co, the father of Joseph Fulp, burned to death, Feb. 11, 1876. Mr Fulp was very feable, upwards of 80 yrs of age, and in the habit of resting on a pallet near the fire, from choice. When the house he was in was discovered to be on fire, his son's family hastened to the rescue but on opening the door found the inside all ablaze; it was impossible to enter and Peter Fulp perished in the flames. It is supposed the fire communicated to the bed and the old man could not make his escape."
Note: Glenn McGee in discussion with Vestal Fulp said he had read that Peter burned to death when sparks from a train set his roof on fire. I must go with the death notice in Peoples Press.
