Doctor Fulton is one of the best men on this broad earth to love and
labor for humanity and I do not think that my race, the noble
Ethiopians, should ever forget him as long as God shall spare his life.
When the time shall come when the dear blessed one shall be called to
the world above, and that active form is stilled in death and when that
silvery voice is no longer heard in the defence of the down-trodden
Ethiopians and the oppressed of any land, that he will hear the "Well
done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
And to think of one who has written so long never more to wield the pen
in the cause of the church and God's children is a sad thought to the
writer, for she has loved him as a father and he shall ever have a green
spot in my heart for I shall never forget his kind words to me in my
lonely hours.
Dr. J. D. Fulton's first wife was one of the loveliest women that ever
lived, for I have been to their house to dine with the family and I
found that Mrs. Sarah Fulton and family were the same that they were in
the church. There was the sweetest home that I ever saw in all my life,
for the father and the mother were all love, and then take Miss Jennie,
the eldest child, and she was a lovely girl, and there was Miss Nellie,
another lovely girl, and Sadie, the youngest girl, and she was her
father all the way, and the boy Justin, who came to the family while I
was away.
