Inventor Falls to Death
A machine of his own invention, out of which he expected to make a fortune, brought Frederick A. Fulghum, forty-five years old, to his death, almost instantly, at Summit. After years of experiment he had perfected a device for lifting boulders and pulling trees and stumps out of the ground. Under the direction of the Commonwealth Water and Light company he was using his invention on the property of John L. Prescott, No.45 Mountain avenue. Two Poles were working with the inventor. Just before dusk he climbed one of the large trees on the lawn to attach a cable of the machine to one of the higher branches. In the gathering darkness he did not estimate the real strength of a limb, and when he swung his weight on it, the branch gave way. Fulghum fell to the concrete pathway, striking on the right side of his head. Dr. J. Boyd Risk, who was passing, realized the man’s plight and had the limp body taken on the run to the overlook Hospital. The inventor died when he was laid on a cot in the operating room. He came from Iowa five years ago. He leaves a widow. He had cleared off the Canoe Brook Club grounds with his invention.
