Clarke Publishing Company WILLIAM L. FULLER, conducting a successful dental laboratory in Portland, in which connection he has built up a business of gratifying proportions, was born in Elroy, Wisconsin, in 1900. His father, Alfred Fuller, was a native of Necedah, Wisconsin, and through much of his life was a railroad man. He married Anna Onsager, also a native of that state, who passed away in 1909, while the father survived until 1928. No event of special importance occurred to vary the routine of life for William L. Fuller in his youthful days. He dates his residence in Portland from 1914 and in young manhood he turned his attention to dental laboratory work, in which he has acquired an efficiency that ranks him high in his chosen calling. He is member of the Dental Laboratory Association of Oregon and the Pacific Coast Dental Laboratory Association. He established business on his own account as a prosthetic technician in 1919 and in 1920 became associated with Dr. Wright. In 1926 he began operating independently, maintaining a laboratory in the Selling building, where he does all the work himself except porcelain jackets and porcelain inlays. He has become very proficient in this field, fully meeting the requirements of an exacting profession, and has the patronage of some of the leading dentists of the city. Dr. Fuller's wife is one of Portland's native daughters — Irene O. Inman, who was born and educated here and is a granddaughter of Isaac Hill, a well known pioneer who came across the plains when the work of civilization had scarcely been begun in the northwest. Fraternally Dr. Fuller is a member of Alberta Lodge No. 172, F. & A. M., loyal to the teachings and purposes of the craft, and is recognized as a man of sterling worth whose life has been actuated by excellent ideals and who in all relations has measured up to the full standards of manhood and citizenship.
