The Red Cloud Chief

R. B. Fulton
R. B. Fulton passed peacefully away at his home in this city on Saturday morning October 9th, after only a few days illness.
Robert Barton Fulton was born in Mercer county, Penn., April 19, 1836. He moved to Jackson county, Iowa, in 1855, and in 1856 was united in marriage to Miss Adelaide E. Hazen. In 1861 Mr. Fulton enlisted in Company B, First Iowa Cavalry, and served his country faithfully four years during the Civil war. At the close of the war he returned to his native state and settled at Oil City, were he lived for some time. In 1872 he came to Webster county, Nebraska, and settled on a homestead. Later he moved to Red Cloud, were he has since resided.
Four children were born in the Fulton home. One boy who died in infancy and a daughter who died in 1885. Two sons, Victor B. and Willis P. Fulton still survive their father. His wife died in 1910.
Grandpa Fulton was a remarkable man. Just before the war he made an important invention, which, while he was at war, was taken up by a corporation, patented and used for the benefit of the corporation, without Mr. Fulton's consent. He also had several important inventions under construction at the time of his death. He was a thorough student of geology and had worked out the outlines of a text book. He read Dana eight times. In his younger days he was an active Mason, and took great interest in the Knight Templar work. For years he had been clerk of the Red Cloud Cemetery Association. For more than forty years he had been a faithful member of the Baptist church, and remained interested in religion until the close of his earthy life.
He leaves two sons, three brothers and other relatives besides a host of friends to mourn his loss. His death is a loss to the community, the church, Garfied Post, the city and relatives and the country, but our loss is his eternal gain. Even the little folks will miss Grandpa Fulton for all loved and honored him.
Funeral services were held at the home of Earl Hall in this city, Monday October 11th, at 11 o'clock a.m. Rev. Cole, paster of the Baptist church, preached a very able and appropriate sermon. Rev. Bates and Myers offered prayer and J. L. Beebe gave a life sketch of the deceased. A very pretty and touching scene was the members of the Sunday School marching past the casket, on which each laid a white flower. Interment was made in the Red Cloud cemetery.
