Son of Joseph W and Sarah E Minear Fulton. Married Miss Laura Luella Littlefield on May 22, 1887. ------------------- History of Jefferson County, Iowa -- A Record of Settlement, Organization, Progress and Achievement, Vol II, Published 1912, S. J. Clarke Publishing Co., Chicago, Pages 466-468 Will A. FULTON. The name FULTON is held in high regard among the farmers of Jefferson county since three generations have contributed to the agricultural growth and development in this section of the state. Will A. FULTON representing the third generation was born February 20, 1862, on the farm on section 15, Des Moines township, Jefferson county, Iowa, where his brother Joseph W. FULTON, Jr., now resides. He was a son of Joseph W. and Sarah E. (MINEAR) FULTON. His father was a native of Delaware county, Ohio, and was descended from Scotch-Irish (sic) ancestry; his mother was born near Chillicothe, Ohio, being of German descent. Joseph W. FULTON, Sr., was a farmer and accompanied his parents to Jefferson county, Iowa, where they settled one mile west of Fairfield, in 1843. He removed to Des Moines township after his marriage, in 1858, establishing his home on a farm, which he operated until 1888 when he removed to a farm one mile west of Fairfield. There he lived during the remainder of his life, traveling extensively until his death August 7, 1904, which occurred at the home of his son, Charles J. FULTON. His wife died on the farm west of Fairfield, January 1, 1900. After completing a course in the fundamental branches taught in the district schools of Des Moines township, Will A. FULTON attended high school at Fairfield, Iowa, and at the close of his school career remained with his parents, assisting in the work about the farm. In 1887, when twenty-five years of age, he wedded Miss Laura L. LITTLEFIELD and established his home on a farm of eighty acres that came from the estate of his grandfather and was located on section 15, Des Moines township, Jefferson county. This land he set about improving, adding to it in 1890 by the purchase of twenty additional acres and in 1907 by another purchase of eighty acres. On this farm he has lived ever since with the exception of three years during which he was engaged in the implement business in Libertyville, Iowa. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. FULTON occurred May 22, 1887. Mrs. FULTON was a daughter of W. C. and Emeline (PARKHURST) LITTLEFIELD. Her father was a native of Maine, being of Yankee parentage; her mother, born in Indiana, was of German descent. Mr. LITTLEFIELD, who was a farmer, came to Iowa before the Civil War and bought a farm near Eldon, where he followed his calling until his wife's death in 1886 when he withdrew from his farm and made his home with his children. In 1901 he met with a tragic death. Returning home after attending the Decoration Day exercises held at Batavia, Iowa, in the afternoon, he was struck by a Peavine train and injured so seriously that he succumbed in the doctor's office a short time later. Mr. LITTLEFIELD was the father of the folowing children: W. A. LITTLEFIELD, a farmer of Wapello county, is living near Eldon, Iowa. Mary Frances is married to Charles NOWELL, a stationary engineer in Chicago. Mrs. FULTON is the wife of the subject of this biography. Alice Belle, who was the wife of Isaac FISHER living near Eldon, is deceased. John S. LITTLEFIELD is a farmer in Kansas. By her marriage Mrs. FULTON became the mother of three children. Frank is an assistant cashier in the Libertyville Savings Bank; Edgar died when seven years of age; Dwight is at home on the farm. In his political views Mr. FULTON is a republican giving loyal support to the men and measures of the party. He has served as member of the school board of district No. 8 Des Moines township for several years. He is a member of the Emmett Lodge I. O. O. F., of Libertyville, Iowa, to which organization his son Frank also belongs. Mr. and Mrs. FULTON are both actively interested in the Phoenix Lodge of Rebekahs, of Libertyville, and through their fraternal connections as well as their encouragement of sociability and neighborliness in their community have won for themselves a large circle of friends.
