Thomas Fulton
A Former Citizen of Niles Passed Away in Chicago

	Mr. Thomas Fulton, a former citizen of Buchanan and well known in Niles, passed
away at his home in Hyde Park, near Chicago, at 7 o'clock this morning, aged 65.
	When a young man he worked in a livery stable at South Bend, where he was
noticed by John D. Ross of Buchanan, father of Mr. A.F. Ross, who took him and
started him on the road,which eventually placed him a position pre-eminent to
his constituents. At one time Mr. Fulton, in partnership with J.D. Ross,
purchased the present Citizens National bank from G.A. Colby and conducted the
same for some time.  He married J.D. Ross' daughter and lived in Chicago, having
no children.
	By his shrewd business methods he accumulated a fortune of over half million
dollars and at the time of his death was a large holder of Chicago and other
real estate.  As a man he was well thought of and his open-hearted manners won
for him a host of friends, expecially among the poorer class.
