FRANCIS FULLER 1860-1930 Francis Elizabeth Lee, daughter of William and Ada Lee, was born at Giard near McGregor, Iowa on October 19, 1860 and passed away at her home in Osage on June 14, 1930, at the age of 69 years and 8 months. Her father was a soldier in the Civil War, and after nine months of service was wounded and discharged because of his disability. Soon afterward this would caused his death. Mrs. Lee later married Michael Reckner and in 1863, when Frances was 3 years old, they came to Mitchell County; hence, she is numbered among one of the oldest settlers of Riceville. The journey to Riceville was made in a covered wagon drawn by an ox team, and she knew the hardship and privations that were associated with the early pioneering. The family settled in what is known as the Blackman farm, a few miles from Riceville. Circumstances did not permit Frances' attending school a great deal, for from the time she was 11 years of age, she" worked out" and made her own way. During the winters she managed to attend school for short periods, provided thee was no sickness. In the family and she could manage her share of the work before and after school hours. However, she made good use of the little time she did have for study, and in later life was always eager to learn and ready to help and encourage others to acquire what she had missed. When still a young girl her stepfather was accidentally killed, leaving her other with nine children to care for. Being the eldest, she felt it her duty to help raise her brothers and sisters. The youngest sister Augusta, she later took into her own home and cared for her as her own child. In 1879 she married to William Morris, and they lived all their married life on a farm near McIntire, with the exception of three years, from 1886 to 1889, when they conducted a hotel in Riceville. To this union were born Leland and Elmer. After the death of Mr. Morris in 1897, she resided in Riceville. In 1899 she married to Harvey Fuller, and to them one son, George was born. Mr. and Mrs. Fuller lived on a farm in the David community until 1919, when they sold their farm and moved to Osage. Mr. Fuller passed away in 1920. For several years she made her home with her son, George, and family. (During her recent illness and for some time previous her little granddaughter, Bonnie Lou, was a source of much joy and comfort to her.) In early life, Mrs. Fuller joined the Baptist church and in each place she lived she was one of the most faithful and active members of whatever church she was attending. Even though in later years when was afflicted with deafness, on Sunday she would be seen worshiping with her friends. Mrs. Fuller was a friend to everyone, and all of her life worked and sacrificed that she might help others. Both times she married there were stepchildren, and she was an wondefrul mother to them, and they in turn loved and respected her. She leaves to mourn her passing, the three sons, Leland Morris, Springfield, Missouri, Elmer Morris, McIntire, and George, Osage; also adopted daughter, Mrs. Effie Hart, of Sparta, Wisconsin and four grandchildren. The stepchildren were John Morris of Agate Beach, California, Mrs. Ella Shepherd, of Miller, South Dakota; Frank Fuller also of that place; the late June Fuller of Clarissa, Minnesota; and Mrs. Ruth McInroy, Riceville.
