FULTON

Died at her residence in the city of Chillicothe, on the 2nd day of August 1841. Lavinia Fulton, 
consort of John A. Fulton, in the 67th year of her age. Mrs. Fulton came to this place with her 
husband and son in the year 1804. She was a descendant from a respectable and numerous family of 
the name of Irwin, in Brandywine Manor, Chester County, Pa. 

She was a regular and consistent member of the Presbyterian church for forty years, a strong and 
active mind, and which through the blessings of Providence she retained in full vigor until her 
death. A most affectionate wife and indulgent parent - through all the varied circumstances of 
her life, she was benevolent and charitable in an eminent degree. No poor person ever left her 
home with an empty hand. 

Her attachment to her friends and relatives, was strong and permanent. Her grandchildren she 
would always have around her, several of whom she raised to the age of men and women, and 
expressed her most ardent desire of their welfare, prosperity and good conduct through life. 

In conformity to a wish she expressed many years ago, she was entombed in a vault in a cedar 
grove in the garden, which she helped to plant and water with her own hands. She left a husband 
one son and a great number of grandchildren and great grand children, who will have to regret 
the loss of their best friend. 

Located in "The Scioto Gazette" dated February 13, 1845, is a death notice for John: 
Very suddenly on the 10th at his residence, Mr. John A. Fulton, in his 76th year of his age. 

The August 1, 1853, edition of "The Scioto Gazette" states:
