Fuller, David

  Yesterday one of Elk Lick Township's oldest and best known citizens died - 
David Fuller, better known as Squire Fuller. David Fuller was born in the 
community in which he spent most of his life, on September 9, 1826, and died May 
7, 1913, aged 87 years, 7 months and 28 days. His early life was spent in the 
store of Elijah Wagner, of Salisbury. Squire Fuller was twice married, first to 
Elizabeth Caton. By his first marriage the following children survive: Lucretia, 
wife of D. J. Miller, Susan, wife of Henry Bittinger, of Springs, and Mrs. Sally 
Brenneman, of Akron, Ohio. His second wife was Harriet McCloskey. From this 
union the following children survive: Mrs. Lorena Reitz and Mrs. Alice Williams, 
Elk Lick; Ressley Fuller, West Salisbury, and John Fuller at home. In politics 
Squire Fuller was a Republican, although he showed his independence frequently 
by ignoring his political party. Squire Fuller was unusually well known in 
Somerset County, also in Allegany County, Md. Some years ago he had been deputy 
sheriff of Allegany County, Md. For a period of about thirty years he had 
dispensed justice in Elk Lick Township. At the time of his death he was a member 
of the United Evangelical Church. The pastor, Rev. F. B. Ellenberger, will 
officiate at the funeral tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment in the Odd 
Fellows' Cemetery Salisbury.
