Samuel Theodore Fulton
was born in Topeka, Kansas, January 11, 1866. He received his
education in that town, residing there until 1887, when he went to
Chicago to take a position with the Santa Fe system. His next
move was to Cincinnati, where he occupied a position with the
"Big Four", and then in 1891 he came to Kansas City to take
the place of secretary to E. S. Washburn, at that time traffic manager
of the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis Railroad. He was
afterwards promoted to be assistant to President Netteton, and in turn
was assistant to President Washburn and President Winchell. When
the Frisco absorbed the Memphis, and the general offices were removed
from Kansas City, Mr. Fulton went to St. Louis as Mr. Winchell's chief
clerk, but only remained there a few months.
In January, 1902, he accepted the general
management of the J. R. Crowe Coal and Mining Company, the position he
now holds.
Mr. Fulton is a married man, having wedded
Miss Alice Lee Payne, of Topeka, November 26, 1890, and is the father
of a son, Darrow Bruce Fulton, born in 1895. He is a member of
the Commercial Club and several organization.
