There is little information available on Opal. She gave birth to her last child, Barbara Annette Fulks, on March 4, 1931, in Monticello. On July 29, 1939, Opal's husband, Emery Fulks, filed suit in circuit court for divorce. He claimed they separated in 1932 and was asking for custody of their three children, whom he alleged she abandoned. Opal's mother, Addie Raider, passed away in 1953. Her obituary stated she was survived by daughter Mrs. Opal Fulks, address unknown. Opal's father, Charles Raider, passed away in 1957. His obituary also stated he was survived by daughter, Opal. Opal had no contact with her family after 1932. A missing person's case was opened for her in 2019.
