Death of Col. Fuller

The Government Engineer of the Fox improvement Dies at Appleton

Appleton, Wis., Dec. 16- Col. C.A. Fuller, the engineer in charge of the
government improvement of the upper and lower Fox routes, died this noon
aged seventy-six, of rheumatic gout.

Col. Fuller was well known in Oshkosh, as his work took him to this city a
great deal.  He was born in Massachusetts and was seventy-six years old.
He graduated from West Point early in the thirties and although he resigned
from the service shortly after his graduation, he later entered the
engineering service and he was the oldest graduate of West Point in the
service of the government.  Col. Fuller took charge of the Fox and
Wisconsin river improvements in 1875 and since that time he has lived at
Appleton.

Col. Fuller leaves a wife and four children, two sons and two daughters.
He has been severely ill only since Thanksgiving.  The immediate cause of
his death was a carbuncle, but combined with that he was suffering with
gout.  It is thought that the funeral will be held at Appleton
