Decatur County Journal
October 22, l9l4

WADE HINTON FULTON, son of WILLIAM and ELIZA
FULTON, was born in Fayette
County, Ohio, April l4, l830, and died at his
home near Leon, October
l3, l9l4, age 84 years, 5 months and 29 days.
He was married to
HARRIETTE TOMLINSON December 25, l850. To
this union were born twelve
children, five of whom have preceded the
father, seven are living and
were with him in his last hours. The living
are TARLTON P., WILLIAM J.,
ALPHA T., WADE A., ALONZO, JEFFERSON and MRS.
C.P. BEAVERS. These with
the aged companion and twenty-nine
grandchildren and twenty-nine great
grandchildren, besides many other relatives
and old friends, are left to
mourn his departure.

He enlisted in Co. K. 30th Iowa Infantry in
l862 and was mustered out in
l865 as a first sargeant and his record was
that of true soldier and in
later years always ready to help a comrade or
neighbor. He was a man of
large heartedness, loved by his family and
neighbors. Himself and wife
moved to Washington County, Iowa, in l857,
and from there to Decatur
County in l870 and has made his home near
Leon ever since. Funeral
service was held at the late home, the l4th,
conducted by Rev. Charles
W. Reeder. Music by a male quartette
composed of Will Gardner, Floyd
Cozad, Ed Kemp and Charles Simpson.

Many of the friends of the family were
present and followed the remains
to the Leon Cemetery. Members of the G.A.R.
were pall bearers and many
of the old comrades were in line showing the
high regard that he was
held in by the Grand Army of the Republic.
Thus another pioneer and
defender of his country has answered the last
roll call. The sympathy
of the entire community goes out to the aged
companion and children.
May God sustain them in the hour of sadness.
