J. Clarke Publishing Co., Chicago, Pages 268 and 269 Pearl L. FULTON is now living in Fairfield but for many years was closely associated with the farming interests of the county and is still the owner of a valuable farm, which is divided by the border line between Des Moines township and Van Buren county. He represents one of the old families of this section of the state, his birth having occurred in Des Moines township, October 1, 1864. His parents were J. W. and Sarah Elizabeth (MINEAR) FULTON, whose family numbered six children, of whom Pearl L. was the third in order of birth. The boy was reared by his grandparents, Alexander and Eliza FULTON, who resided one mile west of Fairfield. He spent the greater part of his time with them until his marriage and then took up his abode upon a farm in Des Moines township, where he lived for thirteen years. He has made his home in Fairfield for two years but is still the owner of a good farm property, comprising two hundred and twenty-four acres, of which eighty acres lie in Des Moines township, while the remainder is across the line in Van Buren county. The soil is rich and productive and responds readily to the care and labor bestowed upon it. In all of his work Mr. FULTON utilized progressive methods and the latest improved machinery. He brought his fields, therefore, under a high state of cultivation and kept everything about his place in excellent condition. No buildings or fences were allowed to sink into a state of disrepair and an air of neatness and thrift pervaded the entire place, showing that all work was done under the careful supervision of Mr. FULTON, who ever ranked with the enterprising agriculturists of the community. On the 29th of February, 1888, occurred the marriage of Mr. FULTON and Miss Edith V. SNOOK, who was born in Jefferson county, Iowa, July 8, 1866, a daughter of Abe A. and Nattie (TULLER) SNOOK, both of whom were natives of Ohio and are now residents of Davenport. The family of Mr. and Mrs. FULTON numbers ten children. The eldest, Robert L., is a pattern maker for the Louden Company. He is also noble grand of Fairfield Lodge, No. 4, I. O. O. F., and is a representative of the fourth generation of the FULTON family to belong to that lodge, his father, grandfather and great-grandfather having all been members. He married Maude LEWIS and they have two children, Margaret Maude and Robert Harold. Grace H., the eldest daughter of the family, is a telephone operator living at home. The others are Elizabeth, Harry, Wayne, Marian, Arthur, Mildred, Frederick and Florence. The eldest son, although born and reared in Jefferson county, never had a day's free schooling, the father always having had to send him out of the township and pay for tuition, for the nearest free school was three and a half miles from his home so that he was sent to a nearer school in Van Buren county. Mr. FULTON is a progressive republican, believing in the movement of the present day whereby the people are demanding a leadership that shall work for the interest of the many rather than of the few. He has long been a valued representative of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and has held all of the offices in the subordinate lodge and in the encampment. He has a wide acquaintance in this county, where his entire life has been passed and where his honorable business activity and progressive citizenship have gained him the respect and good will of all who know him. A life of unfaltering diligence and determination in the conduct of his farm at length brought him a substantial financial return, enabling him now to rest from further labors so that he is today comfortably situated in a pleasant home in Fairfield.
