WORK OF THE GRIM REAPER
PIONEER SETTLERS ANSWERED LAST SUMMONS
DURING THE PAST WEEK
James L. Fuller, prominent town of
Osceola farmer, and a pioneer settler of the county, died at five o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, at his home, four miles north of this village.
The death of Mr. Fuller came as a great shock to his many friends. He was ill
only since Monday afternoon, and although confined to his bed, his condition was
considered not serious until Wednesday afternoon, when he suffered a hemorrage of the
brain, which shortly after resulted in the death of the esteemed pioneer.
Mr. Fuller was born in County Kerry, Ireland, in 1847, and when eighteen
years of age he came to America, and has ever since been a resident of Fond du Lac county.
In 1873 he was united in matrimony to Miss Ellen Dalton, of Eden. This union
was blessed with five sons, all of whom survive their father; they are William H., Thomas,
Edward, John L. and Stephen. Mrs. Fuller also survives her husband.
The funeral services will be held at ten o'clock Saturday morning from Our
Lady of Holy Angels' church at Dotyville. The REv. Father McFarland of Eden will officiate
and interment will take place at Osceola cemetery. The St. Mary's Court, Catholic Order of
Forester of Eden, of which Mr. Fuller was a member, will attend the services in a body.

The funeral services were held from the home at one o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, Rev. J. W. Taylor, pastor of the local Baptist church, officiating. Interment
