ALBERT F. FULTZ, prominent Democrat and citizen of Eugene, Eugene township, died Saturday afternoon of heart trouble at his home.
He was the son of Isaac and Anna Keller Fultz, whose parents were among the earliest settlers of Vermillion County. Deceased was born May 12, 1858 (61 years old at death). He was one of 3 children and the first one to pass away. William W. Fultz and Isaac E. Fultz are surviving brothers and Clara B. Whipple, a surviving sister.
He was married in 1878 to Ida May Johnson, and of this union was born 6 children, 5 of whom survive - Charles N. Fultz, Crawfordsville; Mamie Chaffee, Cayuga; Pearl Shallenberger, Jesse C. Fultz, Terre Haute; Audrey E. and Doyne Fultz.
He was a member of the last registration board, board of review and served his township as assessor for 20 years which shows the popularity of the deceased. No man was better acquainted with his township, knew values better and was "fairer and squarer" with the taxpayers than Albert F. Fultz. If he had not been efficient and honest he could not have served his people 20 years by popular vote.
Besides his work as an officer, he was a carpenter and contractor and built many residences in the three north townships.
Short funeral services were conducted at his late home Monday afternoon by undertaker George L. Watson. Burial took place in the Eugene Cemetery. -- kbz
