DEATH CLAIMS E. T. FULFORD, LOCAL LEADER
Palm Springs was shocked when it learned that Edmond T. Fulford, community leader here since 1921, had died suddenly at 4:30 o’clock Monday morning at his home in Tahquitz Desert Estates. Mr. Fulford had been in poor health for a number of years, but this did not prevent him from taking active part in all worth-while community affairs. As manager of all Field Club events, he had attended the Gymkhana at the field club grounds Sunday afternoon and returned to his home where he was stricken early the following morning. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Marion Fulford, and daughter, Jean. Funeral services wore held at the Community Church Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, the Rev. B. B. Weatherall, a close friend of the family, officiating. Following the services here, the body was taken to Pasadena for interment in the family burial plot in Mountain View Cemetery. Never before in the history of Palm Springs have there been so many floral offerings at a funeral. The casket and the entire front of the church were banked with beautiful flowers, silent messengers of love from the many friends of Ted Fulford here and throughout Southern California. Most of the prominent citizens of the community were listed among the active and honorary pall bearers. A large number of the citizens accompanied the remains to the Pasadena cemetery. One of Mr. Fulford’s last acts of love and affection took place Saturday evening when he participated in birthday festivities in honor of the seventeenth birthday anniversary of his daughter, Jean. Mr. Fulford became suddenly ill at noon on Sunday, but he carried on his work as manager of the Gymkhana presented that afternoon. His life was characterized by his
ability to accomplish things and to make friends. He was one of the group of men identified with the growth of Palm Springs. Ever since their residence here, Mr. and Mrs. Fulford have been in the front ranks in community activities. Whenever there was something fo be done for Palm Springs, they always responded generously with their time, means and talent. Even their young daughter, Jean, has joined her parents im working for the welfare of the community. Ted was 46 years old at the time of his death and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley L. Fulford of Los Angeles. He was born in that city. The Fulford home then was in the neighborhood of Fifth and Spring streets. At that time his father was one of the first associates of Barker Brothers. Ted Fulford went to Los Angeles schools and later entered business there. For many years in California and the East he was connected with the Burroughs Adding Machine Company. During this time he met and married Miss Marion Wood, member of a prominent Cleveland family. The Fulfords returned to California where Ted engaged in the real estate business. When his health became poor, they came to Palm Springs in 1921 where they have since resided. Fulford immediately began to take an active part in the development of the village. He organized the Builders’ Supply company and secured the exclusive right to manufacture cement tile in this area. He developed the large subdivision of Tahquitz Desert Estates, where the Fulfords established their home, which has been a happy gathering place for their many friends for many years. So much has Ted Fulford been in the Palm Springs picture ever since he came here and so generally was he respected and admired that when the Palm Springs Field Club was organized recently, one of the first acts of the prominent men who formed it was to seek Fulford as the manager of all activities for the new and powerful organization. It was Fulford’s directing hand which made of the Third Desert Circus one of the greatest and most suc-
cessful events ever held in Palm Springs. His unfailing efforts have gone without stint to guiding to success other enterprises of the club. Ted Fulford undertook his manifold activities knowing the risk to his health. With grand courage and unflagging ambition, he always fought off illness and plunged ever deeper into the whirl of duties and activities. It was a foregone conclusion that sometime he would break under the strain. But the worried objections of his family, the admonitions of his doctors and friends could not keep Ted Fulford away from work. The gymkhana was scheduled for the Field Club Sunday afternoon. For long days and nights before its presentation, he worked with his assistants on plans for it. Suffering from the last attack which was to cause his death, he went valiantly on, dashing about the field, between the field and town, attending to the many details and arrangements. He carried on through the afternoon into the evening. When he became seriously ill, Dr. Hill was called. Dr. Hill was with him from 6 o'clock in the evening until 2 o’clock in the morning. At that time Fulford appeared to be recovering nicely from the attack. In fact at 11 o'clock in the evening he had joked with his doctor, smilingly saying: “Well, Doc, I suppose I won’t be able to go to work tomorrow. Dr. Hill went to his home at 2 o’clock for a brief rest. A short time later, Fulford got out of his bed and his condition suddenly became worse. Mrs. Fulford called Doctors Hill and Oliver who rushed to the residence. They used all their medical skill and restoratives in a vain effort to check the ebbing flow of life. It was of no avail. Ted Fulford died quietly and peacefully at 4:30 o’clock. Mrs. Fulford and her daughter, Jean, were overcome with grief. Relatives and friends, immediately upon learning of the death, hastened to aid, among the first to arrive being Fulford’s sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Marsh of Pasadena. Surviving him also are his father, now 81 years of age, and a resident of Altadena; a sister, Miss Mabel Fulford, of Altadena, and an aunt, Mrs. Frank Higgins, of Buffalo, New York. Robert L. Edwards fittingly expresses the sentiments of the people of Palm Springs in a poem appearing in this newspaper today, written in memory of Ted Fulford.
IN MEMORIAM
(Edmond T. Fulford)
Well did the ancient Celtic proverb say: "For each there comes the appointed and the unappointed day: On one, neither priest nor physician can save, Nor, on the other, the universe slay.” And now, another voice we loved is stilled, Forever closed, his friendly eyes: No more he'll greet us with his winning smile, Nor aid us with his counsel wise. He whom we loved has passed beyond The bounds of life about us still, To meet the mystery hidden there, As every mortal sometime will. He was an able helper where he lived To bring a fuller life to all. And many worthy causes miss him now, Since he has gone beyond recall. Death often beckoned him to come. But bravely still he struggled on. Beneath a burden few could bear, And always left his work well done. Vain is regret and sorrow, vain; None can the broken pitcher fill. We must submit to laws divine. When breath has failed, and pulse is still. We pray for blessings on him now, Whatever goal his soul may find, And give our deepest sympathy To those loved ones he left behind. —Robert L. Edwards.
The Chamber of Commerce Tuesday evening passed the following resolution of condolence: Whereas, Almighty God in His infinite wisdom has seen fit to take unto Himself one of the outstanding citizens of the village of Palm Springs, and Whereas, in the passing into the Great Beyond of Edmond T. Fulford the village of Palm Springs and his many friends will hereafter be denied the privilege of his wise counsel, and Whereas, the works created by Edmond T. Fulford during his life in the village of Palm Springs will stand as a reminder and a monument to his foresight and courage and act as an impetus for the carrying out of the principles for which he stood, Now Therefore Be It Resolved by the board of directors and members of the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce that this community has sustained an irreparable loss of a friend and counsellor and extend to his widow, daughter and family their sincere and heartfelt sympathy in their hour of bereavement, and Be It Further Resolved that a copy of this resolution be sent to Mrs. Fulford and Jean and that it be spread upon the minutes of this meeting.
