In Response To: Re: Philo Fuller (Sue Fuller Irwin)

I'm afraid there is no official documentation. I have only 2 sources relating to this. The first is a letter dated 1988 from Alice Lethbridge, a descendent of Adelia Fuller, daughter of Philo and Betsy. She writes the following, "I visited all the graveyards, including the Thomasson Cemetery (also known as the Wright Cemetery) where many Fulllers were buried, including, I believe, Philo and Betsy (Walker). The tombstones were in very poor condition and many were illegible. The Iowa Hawkeye published names in this cemetery some years ago - fortunately, the inscriptions must have been in better shape then. Stone were crumbling and fallen when I saw the cemetery (located southwest of Centerville). Dates "Elizabeth, wife of P. Fuller, d. 6 Jan 1872, age 73 yr 6 mos 20 days. P. Fuller, d. 3 Apr. 1876, age 77 yr, 6 mo. 3 da.'" The other is a copy of a letter asking genealogy questions of my GGrandfather. His answer re Philo and Betsy is recorded as "I believe they are buried southwest of Centerville". The ages fit pretty well and Betsy is a nickname for Elizabth, but there is no solid proof that these are, indeed, the gravestones for Betsy and Philo.
