FULLER, attorney, Millbrook village, was born in Onondaga, N.Y., Jan. 28, 1818. His father, Reuben Fuller, was a native of Connecticut, and his mother, Hannah (Scott) Fuller, was born in Dutchess Co., N.Y. They first settled in Otsego Co., N.Y., afterwards removing to Onondaga County in that State. The early life of Mr. Fuller was passed in Madison Co., N.Y. In the fall of 1836, when he was 18 years old, he came to Adams, Hillsdale Co., Mich., where he lived until the spring of 1881, with the exception of five years, which period he lived in Wisconsin and at Adrian, Mich. In the spring of 1881 he came to Mecosta County and fixed his residence in the township of Millbrook. Mr. Fuller obtained his elementary education in the common schools of his native State and attended an academy in Onondaga County two terms. In 1854 he began to prepare for his profession, and was admitted to the Bar in Wisconsin, Oct. 8, 1858. He was admitted to practice in the courts of Michigan August 2, 1882, and is actively engaged in the duties of his profession at Millbrook. He was married in Adams, Hillsdale County, Aug. 22, 1843, to Abigail T., daughter of Jacob and Theodicea (Hart) Jackson. She was born in Victor, Ontario Co., N.Y., June 14, 1823, and died April 1, 1883, in Millbrook, leaving four children, Morris R., Caroline A., Lucetta L. and Anson D. Mrs. Fuller was an active and prominent member of the M.E. Church (as is Mr. Fuller), and lived for her family, where she was a model of domestic virtues; and in her death the household has met a loss which can never be suplied. Mr. Fuller records himself a Republican "dyed in the wool." He has been in official positions in the varius places where he has resided, and in 1854 untied with the Order of Odd Fellows at Hillsdale.
