Born in Brockville, Canada West (now Ontario), to a family of United Empire Loyalist stock, he was the youngest son of Hiram Fulford and Martha Harris.

George Taylor II (1902–1987) was a politician himself (Member of the House of Commons of Canada)[1] and owned Fulford Place until his death.

Fulford went to business college in Belleville, Ontario, and apprenticed with his brother, William, who was a dispensing chemist in Brockville.

On October 8, 1905, he was riding in a chauffeured open roadster in Newton, Massachusetts with his business partner Willis T. Hanson, of Schenectady, N.Y., when it slammed into the side of a streetcar while crossing a blind intersection.

Fulford was a philanthropist, giving considerable donations to institutions such as the Brockville Rowing Club, the Wall Street Methodist Church, the Brockville General Hospital, and the YMCA; in his will, he left a large sum of money to establish a home for indigent women.

The trophy was last awarded in 1979, in Welland Ontario, to Cheema Aquatic Club, Waverley Nova Scotia, coached by Frank Garner.

In 1890, a local McGill-trained physician, Dr. William Jackson, sold him the rights to Pink Pills for Pale People for $53.01.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People were marketed in 87 countries worldwide, including Canada, Britain, France, Belgium, South Africa, Singapore, Australia and China.

He would have these printed in newspapers in a way that it was difficult to differentiate news articles from the advertisements, so readers would see headlines proclaiming these miraculous recoveries, and read on to learn that they were saved by Pink Pills.

It has been interpreted to showcase the Edwardian style of the Fulfords' time using early photographs of rooms (taken for insurance purposes) and a collection of original artifacts.

[7] The Fulford family lent the Magedoma to the Royal Canadian Navy during World War II as a training vessel in the St. Lawrence.

Canadian author Hugh Hood used Fulford as a model for George Robinson, Sr., a recurring character in his twelve volume The New Age/ Le nouveau siècle series of novels.
