Read More	The Denison Bulletin February 18, 1925 Grandma Fullick Reaches the End of her Worldly Life. A Tribute to Her Beautiful Life and Character-Written by Rev. Fulcomer. To chronicle merely the earthly activities of the life of any person in a community may be but a simple task, but to include in that chronicle all the by products of those activities, to tell what that life has meant in private or public association, is quite another undertaking. The life of Grandma Fullick as she was so dearly and familiarly known to her friends and the whole community in fact and of whom no item of interest would be forgotten nor of respect or honor omitted, calls at this time for the choicest of records. There was perhaps no flare, no brilliance, as the world views such in Grandma's career, but rather hers was the beautiful sheen of an orb reflecting the light and glory of a great Creator displayed in her sweet soul, expressed in her every kindly word, cheerful smile, helpful hand and ever present spirit of happy content. In fact asked once in these later years what her secret in life was, which seemed always and still to be filled with health, helpfulness and happiness and her answer came, A spirit of contentment. In that reply she proved herself a person great in wisdom whose mind and heart wrought in unison. Elizabeth Garnett was of English parentage and nativity, born in Alton, Hampshire not far west from London. Had she lived six days longer till February 20th she would have celebrated her ninety-third birthday. It is a long span of years from 1852, the year of her birth and the changes she experienced from time to time at the age of twenty-six she set sail for America to the Safe, Heavenly Harbor of her recent passing on February 14, 1925, were varied and interesting. Arriving in New York after a 13 weeks passage in a sailing vessel, Elizabeth Garnett went directly to Rochester, New York, where James George Fullick, her fiancé, had preceded her by two years and where immediately upon her arrival they were married March 30, 1858. The next year they decided to move west and came pioneer fashion in a covered wagon, a splendid team of horses, their power and pride of locomotion rather than oxen. Coming to the Great Father of Waters at Clinton, Iowa they crossed the Mississippi, frozen over in this, the month of January. Mr. Fullick leading the horses for safety's sake and Mrs. Fullick walking over for further safety. They followed the railroad, which was pushing its way into the prairies of Iowa and at DeWitt, the railroad's termination then, they elected to make their home. It was not long until they met the dread demands of war and Mrs. Fullick bravely saw her husband leave to join the strife of 1861. But he soon returned to her and the family of three small children, for a slight, though sufficient physical debility barred him from enlisting. Mrs. Fullick became the mother of five children: Lizzie, Mrs. Fred Marshall; Alice Happy, Mrs. R.A. Romans, both long residents of Denison, now of Oregon and New York City respectively; George Fullick of Clinton, Iowa, deceased in 1919; Fanny Fullick, resident of Denison, at the time of her decease in 1888 and Alberta, Mrs. Frank Woolston of Denison, Iowa. Beside the loved form of her daughter, Fanny, resting in Oakland Cemetery at Denison Mrs. Fullick's body shall be laid-this her own request. One year after Mr. Fullick's death at DeWitt, Iowa, Mrs. Fullick and daughter, Alberta, came to Denison to make their home. Later Mrs. Fullick divided her time with the three married daughters, till Mrs. Romans moved from Denison as also had Mrs. Marshall and since that time she has been a cherished member of the Frank Woolston home, the recipient of devoted love and care from every member of the household. Mrs. Fullick had been a member of the Church of England, but on coming to Denison, she affiliated with the Presbyterian Church, worshipping there with her daughter, Mrs. Marshall and of this church she continued a devout member. A pleasant interval in Mrs. Fullick's life was a visit to her native land in 1902, at which time she made the eventful voyage over and return in company with Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Scott and daughter, Lillian of this city. One remaining sister of a family of twelve remains in England. Mrs. Fullick's demise could not be unexpected for the closing in of long declining years drew the circle of life smaller and smaller till the last faint, failing breath ceased without strife, quietly and beautifully, typical of the life she lived. From a life of melodious harmony here, she has joined the choir invisible, whose music is the gladness of the world. The funeral services were held Monday at the Presbyterian Church. Rev. Fulcomer officiating assisted by Rev. Carlson of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Many beautiful floral offerings spoke of the esteem she was held in by numerous friends. Pall bearers were all friends of the family: W.F. Terry, Charles Tucker, Hugo Gebert, William [illegible], J.B. Lyon and C.M. Jensen. Burial followed in Oakland Cemetery.
