A PIONEER DEAD 

Died, Saturday night, 11 o’clock, December 12, Samuel C. Fulton, aged 76 years. 
Mr. Fulton had a stroke of paralysis something more than two years ago which 
with subsequent shocks have left him constantly weaker until the end came and 
he gave up the struggle. The funeral occurs tomorrow Dec. 15 at 1 p.m. from the 
home of his daughter Mrs. Ida Fulton-Robison on Emporia street, conducted by 
Rev. F. M. McCormick of Douglass.

Mrs. Fulton died in 1895. Surviving them are E. J. Fulton on the old home farm 
south of Towanda, mrs. Ida Robison, Frank and Eva Fulton of El Dorado.

He will be buried at Towanda. Mr. Fulton was a pioneer at Towanda in 1860. For 
the pioneer edition of the Times he wrote in 1895; Sam Carter, John Lawton and 
mother and my family arrived in Butler county June 1st, 1860. We camped at 
Sycamore Springs over night. Next day we went as far as Chelsea. There the 
people being religiously inclined were holding a meeting in Capt. Geo. T. 
Donaldson’s house, when someone happened to see our “Prairie Schooner” coming 
and the meeting was adjourned to see what it meant.

While there, I got acquainted with Geo. T. Donaldson, Martin Vaught, Judge J. 
C. Lambdin, Doctor Lewellyn and others who tried to persuade us to locate 
there, but we started for the Whitewater and would not stop.
