DEATH OF MRS. JAMES FULTON

Well Known Pioneer Woman passes Away at Age of 85

Mrs. James Fulton, Deschutes, Sherman county, died at St. Vincent’s Hospital 
yesterday. Mrs. Fulton was a pioneer of Oregon, and was well known throughout 
the state. She was born in Shelbyville, Ky., in 1816 and some years later 
moved to Missouri, where in 1840, she was married to Colonel James Fulton, 
with whom she crossed the plains in 1847. The family settled in Yamhill 
county, near the town of LaFayette, taking advantage of the donation land 
claim law. Colonel Fulton was prominently identified with the early history of 
the Willamette Valley, and was well known throughout the state.

In 1857 the family moved to Wasco county, where Colonel Fulton died in 1896. 
Mrs. Fulton is survived by seven children: Mrs. H.V. Isaacs, of Walla Walla; 
Mrs. L. Scholl, of Walla Walla; James and Frank, of Wasco county; John and 
David Fulton, of Sherman county, and Miss Annie Fulton, of this city. Mrs. 
Fulton joined the Christian church more than 40 years ago, and was a woman of 
exceptionally strong character. For several weeks she had been suffering from 
stomach trouble, her death resulting from complications and the weakness of 
old age.

This morning the remains will be shipped to Wasco, where the funeral services 
will be held tomorrow afternoon.
