Hello, My name is Dan Fulghum, Great-Grandson of James F. and Susan McFarlin. I have a story that my Grandfather William Henry "Cap" Fulghum used to tell us about his first days in Bonham in the 1890s. He had left his home in Humboldt, Gibson County, Tennessee, because of a fued between the Townsends and Fulghums. There had been a shootout, just prior to his departure, during which two Fulghums and two Townsends were killed on the porch of a Humboldt residence. My Grandfather worked his way to Texas on the L&N Railroad. When he arrived in Bonham, he found a local barber and ask for a haircut. The barber began to ask who he was and where he was from. My Grandfather was reluctant at first but told him his name and said he had left because of fueding in Tennessee. When the barber asked where he was from in Tennessee, my Grandfather stated Humboldt. At that point, the barber put out his hand, with a smile, and told my Grandfather he was a Townsend from Humboldt. My Grandfather thought, at first, there was going to be a fight. What he learned, however, was the barber had fled the same feud in Humboldt a couple of years earlier. They became friends and I don't think either of them knew why the two families had been feuding. If anyone knows a Townsend that was barber in Bonham in the 1890s, maybe they can tell me what they know of this incident and the feud. My Grandfather later married Mattie Mae McFarlin in Honey Grove and they had 10 children. Grandfather, five sons and a son-in-law built depots for the Texas & Pacific and Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroads in four states (Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas). That is where Grandfather got his nickname "Cap," for being a railroad crew captain. Grandmother and Grandfather eventually settled in San Angelo, Texas.
