MRS. T. S. FULLER DIED HERE TODAY
Was 84 Years Old And Had Lived In County Over Half Century

Mrs. T. S. FULLER died this morning at 7 oclock at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. Wayne HARRIS, 105 West Briggs street. She had been ill one week with pneumonia.

No arrangements have as yet been made for the funeral.

Mary Ann DAWES was born in Calis (sic. Calais ??), Maine, October 28, 1840 and came with the family to Wisconsin in 1849 settling at Ft. Winnebago. She married Timothy S. FULLER at Strong's Prairie, Adams county, in 1858. They moved to Denver, Colo., in 1859 and lived there a year, moving thence to Nebraska where they lived seven years. In 1867 they came to Washington county for a few months and then settled in the east part of Jefferson county. A few years later they removed to Pleasant Plain where Mr. FULLER died in 1888. Twenty-one years ago she moved to Fairfield where she since had made her home.

She was the mother of six children all of whom grew to maturity, but all but one--William S. FULLER of Davenport--are dead. The others were: Mary, Laura, Evelyn, Edward and Helen. She also gave a home to two step children, Mrs. Lucy HIATT of Vaccaville, Calif., and Lotta FULLER, who died when a young woman and Mrs. Wayne HARRIS, a grand daughter.

She leaves a brother, Wesley DAWES of Topeka, Kansas and Mrs. Lavina ULM, of Ottumwa. Mrs. Brooks HUMPHREY of Ottumwa and Mrs. Marvin B. Humphrey (sic. HUMPHREYS) of near Fairfield are nieces.
