General Notes: Husband - Judge John Funk Nulton
For some years in his early life resided at Greensburg, Westmoreland County, PA, where he learned the trade of candymaker, which, however, he never followed as an occupation. For two years he read medicine in Greensburg. He was the first of the Nulton family to come to Kittanning, visiting the place with Governor Johnston, with whom he was acquainted, and he became one of its prominent citizens, both as a business man and as an official. He was a contractor, and after settling here did considerable of the building accomplished in his day, also engaging in the hotel business, in which he was very successful. For a while he engaged in the bakery business. His first venture as a hotelkeeper was in a stone building on a lot at the corner of Water and Jacob streets, later the site of the residence of Miss Amanda Colwell, and there his only daughter, Charlotte H., the widow of William J. Wright, of Kittanning, was born. Later he moved to Jefferson street, where he long conducted the “Hotel Nulton,” one of the most prosperous of its time. From there he moved to Market street, near the courthouse, where he passed the remainder of his life. For many years he was prominent in official circles, being county treasurer twice, the first time by appointment from the county commissioners (according to the old custom) and afterward elected (as provided by act of May 27, 1841) for two years. He was associate judge, being elected for two terms of five years each. Politically he was a stanch Democrat, and fraternally he was a Mason, having originally joined at Greensburg. During the period of the Civil war he was a strong supporter of the Union, and showed many kindnesses to the widows and orphans of the soldiers. A man of fine mind and high character, he not only commanded the respect of those who knew him but had their affectionate regard, being a general favorite. In religious connection he was an Episcopalian, and he gave liberal support to the church. [HAC 1914, 545]
