PASSES FROM AMONG US

MRS. GEORGE R. FULTON
We made mention last week of the death of Mrs. Fulton. A fuller obituary 
notice is fitting when one so much esteemed as she passes from among us.

She was Eliza A. Woodcock before she became Mrs. Fulton. Her birth place was 
Wooster, Mass., and the date March 21st, 1840. The Woodcock family trace their 
line back to the Mayflower, and Mrs. Fulton was a worthy descendent. She was 
married to George R. Fulton July 21st, 1861 at Rochelle, Ill. These were 
stirring times, something like these only more so, and when Co. H. of the 92nd 
Ill. Infantry were leaving for their field of action the city of Rockford 
presented them with a large flag. The honor of presenting it was conferred on 
Miss Woodcock, as her name was at the time. The incident is of peculiar 
interest to one of our Payette citizens as he was a member and is now the only 
Idaho member of that Co. J. H. Bowers is the one who reports this with great 
pleasure.

The Fultons moved to Kansas in 1870 and helped turn that state from desert to 
the fertile wealthy state that it now is. Seven children were born to them, 
three of whom died in infancy, and another as he was just coming to young 
manhood; so there were but three to rejoice their later years; Charles R., 
well-known in our business circles, Miss Lena who has been with the parents 
all the years, and Mrs. E. H. Brubaker whose home was here until a year ago 
when she with her family moved to Arizona. She however was here several weeks 
before the mother's death so that she had the pleasure of having them all 
about her as the end drew near.

Funeral services were at the home on Friday, Oct. 26th and on Saturday the 
body was taken to the old Kansas home for burial. Father Fulton, George, and 
Miss Lena went to the burial. Mrs. Brubaker with her children accompanied them 
as far as Denver but turned from there to her Arizona home.

Mother Fulton lived a beautiful life among us and made friends as one living 
so is bound to do. Her departure is not an occasion for wailing after the 
fashion of the heathen, for she had been granted many happy years here and had 
a sure hope for the hereafter. The sadness of parting was very keen as it must 
be where love has abounded, but death relieved her from a long period of acute 
suffering. She had been confined to her bed nearly all the time since July. 
The sympathy of a large circle of friends goes out to the family, but we can 
scarcely wish for those we love anything better than that they may meet their 
end as well prepared as she.
