FULLER, farmer, Villa Rica, Carroll Co., Ga., son of Alfred and Amanda (Evans) Fuller, was born in Meriwether county, Ga., in 1851. His paternal grandparent, William Fuller, was a native of South Carolina, and came to Georgia in 1828 and settled in the woods in Meriwether county. He was one of the pioneers, started on labor and pluck, and became one of the county's reading and wealthy citizens. Mr. Fuller's father was born in South Carolina" came to Georgia with his father, and helped to clear and then work the farm. His maternal grandparents, Elijah and Mary (Reed) Evans, were also natives of South Carolina, who came to Georgia about the time Meriwether county was laid out, and were among the early settlers in its woods. He was a tanner by trade and became rich. Mr. Fuller was reared on, the farm, and as he, passed. through youth during the war enjoyed quite limited educational advantages. In 1866 he came to Carroll county and began life by hiring out., By persistent, well Directed effort, economy and good management he has acquired a fine property- 400 acres of good land, including a large, well improved farm within five miles of Villa: Rica, and an elegant home in the little city, where he is living a contented life, happier than if he were a millionaire. Such men are the nation’s reliance in extreme emergencies. Mr. Fuller was married in I872 to Miss Mary E. Johnson-born in Walton county, Ga.-daughter of William and Elizabeth (Malcom) Johnson. This marriage has been blessed with seven children: Beulah, Lela, Maggie, Hardy, Thomas, Maude and De Witt. Mrs. Fuller is a consistent and devoted member of the Baptist church. It is almost needless to add that Mr. Fuller is one of the little city's most substantial and reliable citizens, and he . and his interesting family rank with the best.
