FULLER.
Levi J. Fuller was born in Springwater, Livingston county, N. Y., Jan. 31, 1833, and departed from this life Dec. 25, 1915, at the age of 82 years, 10 months and 25 days. His early childhood was spent in New York. Later he moved with his parents and two sisters to Illinois where his mother died. In 1854 he and his father came to Iowa, taking up land southwest of Cresco, and there he lived several years. In 1865 he was married to Mrs. Ellen H. Adams who departed this life three years ago. To this union were born four children, Mrs. Ida May Fuller of California, Mrs. Jennie Turner of Ventura, Iowa, R. B. Fuller of Mason City and Miss Grace Fuller, who has kept the home and cared for her parents. C. E. Adams of Minneapolis and his daughter Miss Mae Adams, also survive him.
In early childhood he became a Christian uniting with the Baptist Church of which he was a faithful member. He was one of the eight constituent members of the Vernon Springs Baptist Church which is now the Cresco Church. All of the other constituent members passed away years ago. Mr. Fuller was actively identified with the church, being for many years church clerk and a deacon and leader of the singing. He was also active in Sunday School work. During his later years he has led a retired and quiet life, a good neighbor and friend to all. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.
