Son of J Fulton, Murray Street, Colac, Victoria
MR. J.K. FULTON PASSES AWAY.
About 7 p.m. on Friday evening last Sergeant Stretton received a wire from Constable Giles, of Pine Creek, to the effect that Mr. John Kenneth Fulton, local manager of the Commercial Bank, had died in the train between Emungalan and Pine Creek and as there was no doctor or Justice of the Peace at Pine Creek, and as a burial certificate was necessary, the body would be brought to Darwin by Saturday's train.
We learn that the late Mr. Fulton left Darwin by last train for the purpose of meeting some of his clients along the line. Shortly before boarding the train on Friday at Emungalan he complained of not feeling well and on entering the carriage met Mr. Ivor Hall and Mr. Shadforth. Approaching the Edith River deceased appeared to be suffering and on the advice of his fellow-passengers, he decided to lie down and rest. On arrival at the Edith River it was found he had passed away and when the train arrived at Pine Creek the matter was reported to Constable Giles. The body reached Darwin by Saturday's train, and a post-mortem examination by Professor Watson revealed the cause of death to be heat apoplexy.
