Members of the Stulting Family stand in front of their home, The Stulting House, at Hillsboro W.Va. in the late 1890s.

Hermanus Stulting’s granddaughter, Pearl Comfort Sydenstricker, was born in 1892, in the upstairs room on the left. She returned at the age of nine and spent much of that summer reading Charles Dickens on the upper front porch. Pearl S. Buck would become the first woman to receive both the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize. (Pearl S.Buck Birthplace Collection. ID: PHP003964)
