Just a week before Mr. Fulton had received serious injuries when he was struck by a car while riding a motor scooter on highway 81 three miles north of Geneva. It was about dusk, and the driver of the car did not see Mr. Fulton as he passed another car until too late to avoid a collision. Mr. Fulton was taken to the Geneva General hospital, where he seemed to make favorable progress until Saturday. Internal injuries were too severe to be overcome. He was conscious to the last. He passed away Sunday, Mary 4, 1947. Alva Henry Fulton was born in Barnesville, O., and May 17, 1886. In his early infancy the family came to Plainview, Neb., where the parents reared a family of six boys and two girls. Alva spent his youth in and around Plainview, where he attended the rural schools, and graduated from Plainview high school. In 1909 he drew a claim for a homestead in South Dakota and spent sixteen months there. He then returned to Plainview and was married to Miss Blanche June Collins of Wisner, Neb. The young couple lived near Plainview five years and then returned to the South Dakota farm at Colome, with their son Dale, who was taken to heaven when he was two and a half years of age. Three other children came to the Fulton home, Ruthadel, Lurene, and Vaughn. This young couple worked diligently and built a modern as well as Christian home. In the middle thirties, because of sand storms and grasshopper plagues, Mr. and Mrs. Fulton decided to move to Geneva and own and manage a Gamble store. For thirteen years, Mr. Fulton had made a place for himself in everyone's heart who came in contact with him in business affairs as well as the home life in this community. He was an active member of the Methodist church and vitally interested in civic affairs. He was a member of the Community club and was serving as treasurer at the time of his death. His steady religious faith and genial, friendly spirit were his most outstanding characteristics. There was never a burden too large for Daddy, as he was affectionately called by the family, to bear when it was for the well-being of anyone. Left to mourn his passing are his faithful wife, two daughters, Ruthadel of Scottsbluff, and Lurene Vonderohe of Omaha, and a son, Vaughn, of Geneva, twin grandchildren, Pamela Jo and Paul Edwin Vonderhoe, two sisters, Margaret and Florence of Denair, Cal., and three brothers, Charles of Denair, Cal., Clark of Pierce, Neb., and Wallace of Norfolk. Funeral services were held Thursday, May 8, at the Geneva Methodist church with old friends of the family officiating. The obituary was read by Rev. Carl F. McConnell, Methodist pastor at Ord, Rev. Maude Mann of Geneva, read the scripture and Rev. E. D. Sell of Pawnee City gave the prayer. The sermon was delivered by Rev. A. J. Rich of Aurora, who paid a high tribute to the deceased as a Christian, a friend and a man. Mrs. A. J. Rich and Leonard Paulson of Lincoln rendered solos and Ray Young of Lincoln was the organist. The outdoor chimes installed at the church, a few months ago, a gift of the Fulton family, sounded out beautifully as the hymns were played before and after the service. Interment was in the Geneva cemetery. A Message From Home Think of stepping on a shore And finding it heaven! Of taking hold of a hand And finding it God's hand Of breathing anew air And finding it celestial air! Of feeling invigorated And finding it immortality! Of passing from storm and tempest To an unknown calm! Of waking and finding— "I am Home!" The Nebraska Signal May 15th, 1947 page 1.
