FULTON, J. A.
(1 Dec 1905, Sayre Standard, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Rev. J. A. Fulton of Doxey, widely known in this county, died Sunday
morning about 9 o'clock.  Rev. Fulton was in Elk City Saturday and was
apparently in the best of health.  On his way home, however, he was seized
with a congestive chill and stopped at the home of Rev. Abbott who lives
about four miles southwest of Elk City.  Medical aid was summoned but
without avail.
It was our fortune to know Brother Fulton intimately and we regarded him
as a man who tried, in a simple, unostentatious way to do his duty as a
Christian man in all the relations of life.  Neither brilliant or
profound, his simplicity and evident sincerity carried the weight of
conviction.  His body was interred in the cemetery at Carter Monday
evening.  We join his host of friends in mourning his untimely death. -
Roger Mills Democrat (Thurs 23 Nov 1905 issue).
Rev. Fulton was well known in Sayre and vicinity, and the news of his
death came as a shock to his many friends here.  He was one of the pioneer
preachers of the county and was held in the highest esteem by all who know
him.  His life was earnest, consistent and conscientious, and although the
late years he had not been in good health, he labored faithfully to the
end in his chosen lifework.  He had lived at Doxey for several years,
filling various appointments in the county.  To him can be paid the
highest tribute accorded to man: "He hath done what he could."
