General Notes: Husband - Rev. Robert John Fulton

---

He was born in the northern part of Washington County, Pennsylvania.
He was one of the brightest men that ever enlivened a dinner party or social. He was considerably over six feet tall, of very slender but compact build. His manner was keen and surprisingly alert. Had he been a heavier boned man he might easily have been mistaken for a twin brother of Abraham Lin-coln. He had dark complexion, small, black, sparkling eyes and a dense shock of very black hair. He was a man of exceedingly fine taste, and very few in the Presbyterian Church could equal his scholastic attainments and oratorical powers. After teaching school in country districts for some years while a boy, he attended the celebrated acad-emy at West Alexander, presided over for many years by his mother's brother, the far-famed Dr. John McCluskey. Then after teaching in this school and reading a complete course in the classics, mathematics and theology under the tuition of Dr. McCluskey, he was, after a most rigid exami-nation, licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Ohio, whose members declared that he had stood a better examination than any candidate that had ever come before them. After having been licensed, Mr. Fulton was called to the Presbyterian Church at Cumberland, Ohio. A few years after he went to assist at a wonderful re-vival of religion in a neighboring church where he preached each day and each night for two weeks; then coming home preached on Sabbath to his own people an exceedingly impressive sermon from Micah vi: 9, and took pneumonia and fever that carried him off in a few days.
