Stella M. Fulton Dies Monday
Miss Stella Mae Fulton, 88, longtime professor of Latin and English at Rio Grande College and a lifetime resident of Rio Grande died at 3 p.m. Monday.
Miss Fulton was born on the family farm near Porter on Nov. 14, 1871, just five years before the founding of the college. She was the daughter of the late Rev. William J and Eva Tipton Fulton. There were three children in the family, a brother Ira J. Fulton, survives and she was preceded in death by a sister, Miss Molly Fulton.
In the summer of 1885 the family came to Rio Grande, where the father became the first fulltime pastor of Calvary Baptist Church and served it for 31 years. Miss Fulton attended village schools and graduated from Rio Grande College in the class of 1892. She was the oldest living graduate at the time of her death. After her graduation she continued her studies at Chautauqua Lake NY and received the degree of Master of Arts from that institution.
In 1892 she began her teaching career at White Oak School near Porter and the following year she became a professor at Rio Grande in Latin, English and other subjects. She held a professional post for 36 years and retired in 1929. At one time during that period she served as principal of the township high school when it was a preparation department of the college. Since her graduation she had attended college alumni banquets for 66 years, having missed only two since her graduation.
In addition to her teaching duties, Miss Fulton contributed much to the church and community life, having been a member of Calvary Church for 71 years and always active in its program until ill health forced her to be confined to her home across from the college campus. She taught Sunday School classes and held all important positions in the church. She had a great interest in missions and through her efforts Rio Grande ranked high in mission giving in Ohio. She was held in the greatest esteem by not only her students but everyone who knew her and she was synonymous with any mention of the college or village.
In addition to the brother, she is survived by a niece Mrs. Dorothy Fulton Elmendorf of Cleveland and a nephew, Wendell Fulton of Upper Arlington.
Services will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday at Calvary Baptist Church. The Rev. Luther Tracy will officiate and burial will follow in Calvary Cemetery under the direction of the Waugh-Halley-Wood Funeral Home. The body will lie in state for one hour prior to the service. Friends may call at the funeral home after 7 p.m. tonight.
[Note: died 1960]
