    Mr. Joseph P. Fuller's daughters have part of a diary and several
interesting letters written during civil war days by their father to his sister
Mary Jane, (Mrs. O. L. Olmstead) of Wisconsin, while he was a prisoner at Point
Lookout, Md. Her son Lamar Olmstead, who was a union soldier, was in prison at
the same time at Fortress Monroe, Va., the relatives of these two young men
exchanged courtesies by trying to alleviate the hardships of prison life,
sending boxes of clothing and food to them. Letters were censored, but their
contents are quite interesting. In one written at Richmond, Va., Mr. Fuller says
he was a guard on R. F. and P. R. R. his clear penmanship makes his diary,
beginning with battle of the Wilderness legible (written with pencil, first part
destroyed).

    He went with Co. D, 20th Ga. Regt. Benning's Brigade as private, but acted
in capacity of Sgt. Major after death of several officers. Dec. 19, 1864, he
"hopes this will be my last winter in prison." After being transferred for
exchange March 17, 1865, he was honorably discharged at the end of the war and
settled at Cottage Mills (Shack about a mile from Headquarters at Fort Benning)
where he wrote Aug. 17, 1867, "We are destitute of law and subjected to the
gross insults of both the negroes and soldiery."

   Mr. Fuller was wounded several times, but suffered during his last days more
severely from the exposure endured as a prisoner. His father Hiram Fuller, was a
millwright and after returning to Chattahoochee County, he went to Alabama to
help build a mill, where he met and married Miss Annie Tune. When their golden
wedding anniversay was celebrated, their attendants were all living—quite
unusual. His father, Hiram Fuller returned to his native state of New York
several times, but after a few years, would come back to this State and County
where he remained after his third marriage to Miss Caroline Dozier.
