He was born on December 9, 1927 to Daisy Olvis Fulk and Alva Marcus Fulk of Beverly, MO. Robert grew up on the family farm, the third of four boys, Howard, Loren and Donald who all preceded him in death. He attended the one room schoolhouse in Beverly until 8th grade when he moved to Weston High School and graduated with the class of 1945. He was drafted for military service and had taken his physical when the war ended and he was no longer needed to serve. After meeting his future wife at high school, Robert married Earlene Marie McCalley on August 15, 1948. The first year of their marriage they lived in a house in Beverly. For the rest of their married life, they lived on the farm originally owned by Robert’s grandparents just east of Beverly. This is a spot that a lot of people now recognize as Fulk’s Tree Farm. Robert retired after many years of farming. He started working on the family farm with his father and passed that tradition along by being a mentor to his son, Dennis who passed it along to his son Brian.
