John Fuller, Pepin, was born in Austinburgh, Ashtabula county, Ohio,
October 9, 1821, and is a son of Aaron and Nancy (Van Lears) Fuller,
the latter of German descent.  When he was a small boy the family
removed to Jefferson county, Pa., where he was reared on a farm, and
received but little schooling.  At the age of sixteen years he began to
learn his father's trade, blacksmithing, but about three years later
received an injury to his back which prevented his continuing that
business.  He afterward worked at carpentering and cabinet-making.  He
was married May 17, 1844, to Margaret Brosius.  Seven children have
been born to this union:  Alvin, Nelson, Lymon O., Aaron, Eugene E.,
Adelaide (Mrs. J. Clarke) and Irene (Mrs. J. Houston).  Soon after his
marriage Mr. Fuller removed to Geauga county, Ohio, and in 1863 to
Pepin, where he still resides.  For eighteen years he was engineer on a
steamboat, but in recent years has retired from life on the river. 
Lyman O., son of John Fuller, is also a blacksmith and engineer.  June
12, 1870, he married Miss Mary E. Newcomb.  Their eldest son, Orlo L.,
is now engaged in teaching and also studying with a view to completing
his education at one of the best educational institutions in the state.
Mr. L. O. Fuller and wife have five other children:  John E., Vern J.,
Iva M., Alla and Gorton.
