Delmar Enterprise
March 22, 1911

Died.

FULLAN – While his children were at the station Friday evening to meet the party who were bringing Mr. James Fullan from McLaughlin, South Dakota, to this place, they received a message that he died on the train at Austin, Minn., that morning. Mr. Fullan had been very ill for several weeks and was anxious to come home to be among familiar scenes and for medical treatment, so the family decided to try and gratify his desire only to be defeated in their tender purpose by death.

Mr. Fullan’s name is associated with the early history of Delmar. About forty years ago he was married to Miss Maria Waters of Deep Creek and shortly afterwards they located here and have made it their home until about two years ago when they moved to Dakota to remain only temporarily and where he was employed by the railroad company. During the majority of the years of his residence here he was a railroad employee, and it was a strange, sad coincidence that one who had spent so many years of his life working on the tracks should be sheltered by a railway coach at the time of his death. He leaves a faithful and devoted wife, who is a queen among women, two sons, Will Fullan of Charlotte and James of McLaughlin, South Dakota, and four daughters, Mrs. Frank Kane of Dakota, Mrs. Frank Costello of Petersville, Miss Laura, a teacher in the McLaughlin public schools, and Miss Nellie, a teacher in this county, to mourn for him, also his aged mother and two sisters, Mrs. James Waters of Petersville, and Mrs. John Dollmire of Marion, Iowa, besides many more remote relatives in this vicinity and in Canada, his birthplace. Mr. Fullan was about seventy years of age and was of a warm, generous nature, which won for him many friends, to whom he was loyal and true. The body was conveyed from the station to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Costello near Petersville, and from thence to the Deep Creek Catholic church on Monday morning, where the obsequies were held with interment in the family lot in the cemetery adjoining the church beside the loved remains of a little son and an adopted child who died in infancy.
