  Obituary	From the Fresno Repbulican, 8 Sep 1929 C. I. PULLIAM, FRESNAN FOR 34 YEARS, DIES Heard Lincoln-Douglass Debate When Lad In Illinois Charles Irwin Pulliam 85 a native of Illinois and a resident of Fresno for 34 years, died yesterday at his home 183 North Van Ness. He had been in ill health for about three months. He was the father of Roy Pulliam of the Bank of Italy here, and a brother of J. H. and F. M. Pulliam of Illinois. Funeral arrangements will be announced later by J. N. Lisle. Burial will be in Illinois at Chatham near Springfield. He was born in Macoupin county August 22 1844 and was the grandson of one of the first two settlers in Sangamon county, where he made until 1895 when he came to Fresno. At the age of 14 he heard the Lincoln-Douglass debates and had a distinct memory of Abraham Lincoln. The law firm of Lincoln & Herndon were attorneys for his father. Mr Lincoln once said to Mr Pulliam that the law was the greatest profession in the world, and from him the young boy got his ambition to be a lawyer. He was graduated from Ann Arbor law school but never entered the practice of law. About the time that he was to begin practice his father died and he took over the operation of the farm. Pulliam related that the first time he saw Lincoln he thought him "the longest man he had ever seen." He also saw Lincoln when he left Springfield to go to Washington to be inaugurated and related that he heard him say that he believed he would never return from Washington. On November 19 1872 Pulliam married Emily Drennan also of Sangamon county. The wife died in Fresno in April, 1922. Pulliam was a member of the F. & A. M. lodge at Chatham Illinois and he was a charter member of Sunset camp, M. W. A. of Fresno. He was also a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. He was for two years just before the war secretary of the Fresno county fair. The farm in Sangamon county upon which Pulliam's grandfather settled In 1817 is still in the family.  [6]
