Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Fulton

	The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Fulton was held at the residence of her daughter,
Mrs. M.L. Cox, on Monday afternoon.  The following is a brief report of the
remarks made by Elder Wm. M. Roe on the occasion . . . 
	. . .
	Mrs. Elizabeth Fulton, daughter of Major Thomas Moore, was born July 14, 1803,
at Springfield, Ohio. She was married to James Fulton May 13, 1822 and in 1836
she came with her husband to Cass county, Michigan, and in 1849 the family
settled in Buchanan.  She died Sept. 21, 1889, having attained to the age of
eighty-six years, two months  and seven days.  She leaves a family of five
children to mourn her departure--Mrs. Barney, Mrs. Cox and Mrs. Powers, of this
village, and Mr. T.M. Fulton and Mrs. Loomis, of Chicago, Illinois.  In her
youth she embraced christianity, and became a devoted member of the Presbyterian
church.  Probably in the year 1856 she became an honored member of the Christian
church in this  village.  For her consistent and orderly christian life she has
ever held a high place in the affections of all her acquaintances.  Her
christian character was without a stain or a blemish, and her death was
completely triumphant.  To the bereaved children I would say, you have lost one
of the best of mothers.  In the relations of wife and mother she was
exceptionably[sic] good.  With deep emotion of soul, you can all join in the
gladsome refrain, "Blessed are the dead." Her many virtues are embalmed in the
richest folds of your memory's drapery, and her praise-worthy example will ever
tend to elevate you all to a higher place of life.  Your sainted mother has gone
to join that glorious company who shall have washed their robes and made them
white in the blood of the Lamb.  Live for the joys of a happy meeting beyond the
grave--live for the inexpressible delights and undying glories of heaven. . .
