From the book: "Fullerton's First 100 Years" wrote by Cecil himself, pg's 162/163 In the year of 1888 there were 10 families that came from Fisher and Champaign counties in Illinois. They all came together. There were four McCays, Oris, Orlando, Jack and Palace; John Day, Ben Bateman, Al Trotter, Dan Hinton, Pusey family and my Grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Mack Fitzgerald. My Grandfather was born in Ireland. There were six in my grandfather's family, all girls of which my mother was the oldest. She lacked nine months of being 100 years old, when she died. They lived 5 miles north of Central City. The first year my mother said the kids were never in town. In 1890 my Grandparents moved on the Wiltze place that Larry Cunningham now owns. My mother went to Cedar Valley School - I went there - my son Paul went there and all of Paul's kids went there. The building will be 100 years old in four years, and has operated continuously since. The farm was in our family 61 years, always leased and never a written lease. In my mother's family there were six girls - she was the oldest (Mae Workman), Nell Crawford, Stella Jennings, Ethel Pepper Edith Minor and Ina Sidder. There are only two direct decendants (sic) of the original family left now, Van Trotter who lives in the home at Fullerton and Lenna McCay who lives in California. My mother married Wm. Smith in 1892. He was from Winterset, Iowa. When I was a baby they went to Winterset, Iowa in a covered wagon and lost me out at one point. I was always glad they went back and got me. I had two brothers, Faye and Forest. After my dad left my mother, she later married Bob Workman. I have a half sister in California, Geraldine, married to Tom Hughes. He is a railroader. My brothers are both dead. I married Nellie Castle in 1916 - soon be 64 years. We lost our first baby, but since had Paul (He married Fern Sonderup) Virginia (she married Wilton Miller). She is Director of the Nursing School at West Nebraska Hospital in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Dale is married to Georgia Omer. Dale graduated from Juliard School of Music in New York City and now has a conservatory of music in Grand Island. His wife works at the Vet Hospital in Grand Island. Dick is married to Carolyn Miller, a rancher's daughter who works at the Post Office and they live here on the ranch. We have 11 grandchildren and 4 great -grandchildren. We started ranching on a ranch west of Anselmo which I bought in 1941 and in 1946 I bought the ranch west of Dunning which we now live on. Paul remained on the farm at Fullerton. We will both be 86 years old this year. We were active in church and Masonic and Eastern Star. Nellie was Past Worthy Matron and has her 50-year pin. I was Clerk of Session of Presbyterian Church in Fullerton and an Elder for 35 years, and am Past Master of Masonic Lodge and have my 50 year pin. I am a 32nd degree Mason and all my boys and I belong to the Shrine. I sang in the church choir for 40 years. I also was Worthy Patron of Eastern Star for 15 consecutive years, and when I left I had initiated half of the membership at that time
