Fuller Succumbs to Attack of Pneumonia Friday Evening After Short Illness Old Settler of Taylor Co. Served Over Three Years in Service of His Country—Was Active in Church and G. A. R. The death of Norman R. [ansford] Fuller, a pioneer of this section, took place at his home in this city Friday at 7 p. m. Mr. Fuller had been ailing for about two weeks and took to his bed the Sunday previous to his death with the dread disease pneumonia, which carried him away. Mr. Fuller was born in Berkshire, Mass., August 14, 1837, he being 80 years, 5 months and 28 days old. When he was about three years old his parents moved to North Canaan, Connecticut. Eleven years later the family moved to Hebron, Wis. August 21, 1862, he enlisted in Co. E, 28th regiment Wisconsin volunteers. He served his country until peace was declared, receiving his discharge at Brownsville, Texas, August 23, 1865. After the war he returned to his home at Hebron and at that place was united in marriage to Miss Louisa Ferguson, May 4, 1867. In 1869 Mr. and Mrs. Fuller came to Guss and bought a farm near that village where they made their home until they moved to Villisca, about eight years ago. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Fuller. One of these, Maud, died at the age of three years. Harry of Lead, South Dakota, and Miss Eva, who has been teaching at Falls City, Nebraska, survive their father, as does his wife. Mr. Fuller always took a deep interest in all social and public enterprises, especially events of a patriotic nature. He early jointed the G. A. R. at Nodaway, and transferred his membership to the post at this place when he moved here. He was very active for many years in all Memorial Day programs, anniversaries and reunions. For the past six years he was commander of Villisca Post No. 271. Intense loyalty and devotion to country was a marked characteristic in his life. A few weeks ago when the service flag was dedicated at the M. E. church, he took great interest in helping to make the service successful and beautiful, and he was one of the two chosen to unveil the flag. Over forty-one years ago he was converted and united with the Methodist church when services were held at the Fairview schoolhouse. When the church was built at Guss he gave the ground and helped build the structure. He has ever since been a staunch supporter of his church and served as Sunday school superintendent at Guss for some time. It was in his home that Mr. Fuller was at his best, his wedded life of more than fifty years approaching the ideal. He scarcely had a cross word with members of his family, and they were very much devoted to him. For several years he reported weather and crop conditions to the government weather bureau and also to the local press. The Review was indebted to him for many weather reports, which were much appreciated. In the demise of Mr. Fuller, the family has lost a devoted husband and father; the neighborhood and friends have lost a neighbor and friend indeed; the church has lost an honored member. The funeral took place from the Methodist church, Monday at 2:30 o’clock, the pastor, Rev. Menoher, in charge. Both son and daughter were here to attend the funeral and also a granddaughter, Miss Vera, daughter of Harry Fuller of Lead.
