Norfolk Journal and Guide,Saturday,Jan 6,1917

The many friends of Mr. Ernest W. Fuller were shocked to learn of his death,
which occurred December 29,1916.  He was a very promising young man of fine
qualities and great ambition.  He was married at the early age of 23 to Miss
Cora Bynum of Montclair, NJ, they lived together for 5 years.  Early in the fall
he came back to Norfolk, and on the 23 of December he was taken ill, which
illness ended in death on the 29th of December. Thus the career of a promising
young man is ended.

Sometime when all life’s lessons have been learned,

And sun and stars forever more have set,

The things which our weak judgment here have spun,

The things over which we grieved with lashes wet,

Will flash before us out of life’s dark night,

As stars shine most in deepest tints of blue,

And we shall see how all God’s plans are right.

And how what seemed reproof was love most true.

And you shall shortly know that lengthened breath,

Is not the sweetest gift God sends his friends,

And that sometimes, the sable pall of death
Conceals the fairest born his love can send;

If we could push afar the gates of life,
And stand within and all God’s workings see,

We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find a key.

But not today.  Then be content poor heart
God’s plans like lilies pure and white unfold,
And if through patient toil we reach the Land
Where tired feet with sandals loose,
may rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand, 
I know that we shall say that God knows best.

A friend,

Mr. Ollie Simmons
