Fuller, on June 7th, 1884. Aged sixty-nine years five months and twenty-two days. Deceased was born at Sanford's Corners, Jefferson county, N.Y., in 1814. In 1832 he moved to Illinois and lived in that state until the fall of 1882 when he left his comfortable home and followed his children to Kansas, purchasing a fine farm on Criss Creek in the vicinity of Glasco. Since his settlement in Kansas his efforts were to make a comfortable home here in which to pass the remainder of his days. His plans were nearly finished. The fine land had been improved, orchards set out, pastures fenced, shade trees planted, sheds, granary and cribs put up, and a fine residence erected, while a large barn was in course of construction. Time had whitened his hairs but his energy was still fired by an active mind. Long years yet lay before him, had not a misstep hurled him into the grave. In the middle of the barn floor a hole for a stairway was left to go into the basement, as Mr. Fuller was engaged in taking the tools in the barn, out of the rain, early Friday morning. He missed his footing in going around the opening, falling through and striking his head on a stone foundation eight feet below. His hired man hearing him groan went to his assistance, he was immediately carried into the house. Medical aid was summoned, but the best physicians in the county were unable to relieve his sufferings or return him to consciousness. His wounds were the left side of his head, one on the eye and another above and just back of the temple. At 7:35 Saturday evening, surrounded by his entire family, his spirit passed to the far beyond. And so died a noble man, an affectionate husband and a kind father. 'Twas as hardy oak torn by the lightning's power from its fastenings, while the ivy vines, which clung to it tenderly and lovingly, were dashed to earth with a ruthless hand. Dying in the bosom of his family, surrounded by those he loved, yet no parting word, no gentle grasp, nor tender look was bestowed upon them. His soul floated from the family circle to its future home without a long farewell. But, why mourn, it was the ending of a grand and noble life. Such as we might all wish to live. He was laid to rest in the Glasco cemetery and his funeral held in the Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon. The Concordia Times, Friday, June 13, 1884, page 3: Gilbert Fuller, living four miles northeast of Glasco, was killed by falling into the basement of his new barn, on Thursday night of last week. He had been working on the barn during the day and left his tools on the barn floor, the building having no roof. When the rain came up in the night he got up to put his tools away. It being very dark he walked off the cellar way into the basement, falling on his head and receiving injuries from which he died Saturday night. He leaves a large family to mourn his untimely death. Mr. Fuller had but late come to this country from Illinois, but during his brief residence here had made many friends who deeply sympathize with the family in their sad bereavement. His sons, J.B., J.R., S.P., and G.L. Fuller, have lived in this county a good many years and are well and favorably known.
