Mrs. Elizabeth Fuller, born July 2, 1847, married to James Whitman Feb. 14, 1866. Sixteen years after in February occurred the death of Mr. Whitman. During this married life there were born to them four children, three girls and one boy. On the sixteenth day of October, 1884, Mrs. Whitman became the wife of William Fuller, who by a previous marriage and death of the mother was left with three children, two girls and one boy. The marriage of Mr. Fuller and Mrs. Whitman brought those children all together as one family. Since that time three have married, Edward Whitman of Binghamton, Fanny Scribner of Unadilla and Anna Bogart of Masonville. Four of the children are now at home. During all these years perfect harmony has existed between them, each having toward the other that mutual regard shown between brother and sister. After a married life of a little more than twenty years the mother is called away by death, leaving a great vacant place in the home and untold sorrow in the hearts of the family and friends. Mrs. Fuller was a kind-hearted, loving wife and mother, and a friend to everybody. For many years she was a constant and faithful member of the M. E. church. She has gone to her reward and we cannot wish her back. The funeral was held at the home on Aug. 27th. The services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Asa Calander of Masonville, assisted by Rev. Holmes of Masonville and Rev. Fuller of Newburgh, N.Y. A large concourse of friends and neighbors gathered at the home to pay their last respects to one they knew to be their friend.
