The Citizen 9-19-1902
The Citizen
Cambridge, Idaho
Friday, September 19, 1902
 
Mrs. C. M. Fuller
 
The funeral of Mrs. C. M. Fuller, whose death was mentioned last week, took 
place from the Baptist church in Cambridge, Rev. Willoughby conducting the 
service, and the remains were laid to rest in the Cambridge cemetery.
 
Miss Anna Alway was born near Mankato, Minn., April 20, 1876.  She was taught 
from childhood to believe and trust in Christ as her saviour. At the age of 19 
she was deeply impressed that it was her duty to prepare herself to serve 
suffering humanity as a medical missionary nurse.  With her to know her duty 
was all that she desired.  These convictions resulted in a three years' course 
of study and training in the Medical and Surgical Sanitarium of Battle Creek, 
Mich., graduating in the fall of 1894.  She was married to Claud M. Fuller, 
Dec. 3, 1893.  The union has been one of usefulness and happiness.  For seven 
years they have unitedly endeavored to alleviate the sufferings of the 
afflicted and broken-hearted.
 
Two years ago last February she came among the people of this valley.  During 
her presence among us she has labored faithfully to do all she could to bring 
health and joy into our homes.  For several months past her heart had been 
very delicate, but when the calls for help came it was not in her heart to 
refuse to respond.  Six weeks ago last Wednesday she was stricken down with 
that subtle disease, typhoid fever, and the following day she was taken to her 
home.  All that loving hearts and willing hands could do failed to save her 
precious life.  During her sickness she often said that she did not regret 
doing what she had done, although it might result in death.  During one of my 
visits at her bedside I stated to her that many were inquiring about her and 
had expressed regrets that she had worked when she was unable to do so.  She 
quickly replied, "I do not want them to feel that way; it is all right."  A 
few days before her death, in conversation with the family, she remarked that 
she never had any better or surer evidence of her conversion than at present. -
- "I am so happy."  Two hours before she died she was told that it was hardly 
possible for her to live.  She replied, "Do all you can and it will be all 
right, whichever way it goes."  Her last words were, "Shall I resist this 
stupor that is coming over me?"  The ready response was "Yes, resist it."  She 
said, "All right; I will try."
 
She died Wednesday, Sept. 19, 1902, at 8 p. m.   She leaves a husband, a 
father and mother, five sisters and two brothers to mourn their loss.  Her age 
is 26 years, 2 months and 21 days.
 
She was a faithful and consistent member of the Seventh Day Adventist 
church.   J. M. WILLOUGHBY
 
 Sweetly Resting
 
She is resting sweetly resting;
Lonely though our hearts now feel,
We have God to help us bear it.
He the broken hearts will heal.
 
Ever strewing life's dull pathway,
With her sunny words and deeds.
She has taught us sweetest precepts,
For which Jesus gently pleads.
 
Though we miss her, sadly miss her.
From our friendly circle here.
We can look to that glad meeting
Where there falls no blinding tear.
 
Though the blighting cloud of sorrow
Shrouds the home so sadly reft,
Clouds have all a silver lining.
Let us look beyond the clef.
 
God is waiting there to welcome.
All the weary, way ?orn home.
He will guide us through the valley,
He will lead us ever on.
 
There will be a grand re-union
Of the faithful ones who've gone.
There will be no room for sorrow.
In that land of love and song.
