John Worthington Fulton was born in Belmont county, Ohio, September 4, 1850 and departed this life at his home in Truro, Iowa, May 23, 1909 at the age of 58 years 8 months and 19 days. In 1858 he came with his parents to Iowa, settling in Madison county, near Winterset. At the age of 12 years he suffered the misfortune of the loss of his mother and his home, and went out to face the battle of life and earn his living. He thus early learned bravely to face all of life's problems and to be careful and economical of his earnings.

He was united in marriage with Nancy Ann Bradshaw, Dec. 28, 1871 and settled on a farm in Ohio township. To this union were born, two children, the eldest of whom died in infancy and the other, John Wesley Fulton, lives on the home farm, near Truro.

In the winter of 1872, he united with the Christian church, in what was then known as the Banner school house church under the pastoral charge of Reuben Creger, and at the time of death was a member of the Truro Christian church. He has spent nearly all of his mature life in and near Truro where his habits of industry and economy have resulted in business success. He died as he lived, bravely facing the stuggle, there was no complaint, no murmur of fear, calmly enduring, calmly waiting for the end.

He is survived by his wife, the son, three brothers; Thomas of Truro, William of Fort Dodge, James of St. Charles and one sister, Elizabeth Hiatt of Payette, Idaho. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Burnham of Linden, Iowa, from the Christian church, May 25, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Hartman cemetery.
