My son was so excited to now be able to really tell everyone where his name came from being so young he would never tell anyone his name was Delphos.

Fulton Wed, 20 Jul 2011 01:26:13 +0000 http://delphoscanalcommission.com/?p=843#comment-97 This is a true story of my dad, George Delphos Fulton. My dad became a master auto mechanic, and was an early builder of auto engines that ran in the Daytona races. At our family reunion I asked my dad's sister about this letter. She was surprised about it , and never new that my dad had written this letter. In this story I have seen a side of my dad I never knew. I never knew the young boy looking for a place in society and a future for his family. Maybe this will inspire others to look for that young mom or dad in their parents that they never had the opportunity see. Thank you for taking the time to put all this together…it has been a blessing to our family! This is a true story of my dad, George Delphos Fulton.

I didn't grow up here, but I recognized some of the names you mentioned. Your dad must have been very mechanically inclined to be able to get a player piano working again.

My father was the manager of Schiff Shoe Store on Main Street in Delphos. He got to know many of the folks in town. He spent allot of spare time in an antique store a couple of blocks down from his bussiness. One day we had a player piano delivered to the house. I remember dad said it came from New York. Although the outside was in pretty good shape the inner workings were not. Dad played with that thing every chance he got. He repaired all the tubing, a squeeze box, and everything else. He rebuilt it fabricating or repairing the parts by himself. He had it working in no time flat and we use to sit around it while he cranked the songs with a couple of foot pedals underneath. My favorite part was to throw the roller in reverse and crank it as fast as I could to re-roll the paper music rolls. The faster the better. It sure beat watching TV.
