Eliza Howell, b. Mar. 10, 1798 at Dumfries, Scotland, d. July 8, 1875 at Louisville, KY.
While a young teacher residing at Baltimore, Maryland, in late 1820 Eliza became part of the second missionary family to the Osage Indians that left New York City bound for present-day Bates County, Missouri. There the missionary family erected Harmony Mission, sister to Union Mission developed one-year earlier southeast of present-day Chouteau, Oklahoma. At the time both missions were located in Osage Indian Territory.
On Sept. 21, 1821 at Harmony Mission, Eliza m. Stephen Fuller, a member of the missionary family at Union Mission, s. of William Ward Fuller and Susanna Knowlton. He was b. Feb. 10, 1796 at East Haddam, Conn. Stephen was Union Mission's designated farmer and agriculturalist who was to teach the nomadic Osage the art of farming. See his memorial for expanded details.
Eliza Howell and Stephen Fuller had four identified children, and likely additional children who are unknown due to their death in infancy:
• i. an unnamed child, b. in 1823, d. in infancy Mar. 9, 1823 and interred at Union Mission cemetery southeast of Chouteau, OK.
• ii. Elizabeth Fuller, b. Apr. 9, 1829 at or near Harmony Mission in southwest Missouri, d. Feb. 18, 1889 at Boyle County, KY; m. Aug. 11, 1857 at Boyle County as his 2nd wife, Lumineous Dimmitt, who d. Aug. 14, 1880 at Boyle County, KY. At least two children of the marriage.
• iii. Phebe R. Fuller, b. circa 1832 at present-day Bates County, MO, d. June 10, 1879 at Louisville, KY; m. in 1855 at Louisville, William B. Anderson. No identified children of the marriage.
• iv. Mary Jane Fuller, b. Jan. 25, 1835 at Bates County, MO, never married and d. Feb. 7, 1906 at Boyle County, KY.
By the June 1850 census, all three of the above named Fuller daughters were enumerated one after the other in age order as students at a Female Seminary at Troy, NY where they were prepared as teachers. By 1855 all three had ventured to the vicinity of Louisville, KY presumably as teachers, Mary Jane in particular being engaged in 1860 as a private tutor by a prosperous farm family at Franklin County, KY. In 1870 Eliza was residing in the household of her dau. Phebe and husband William Anderson at Louisville where it is believed she died. She was, however, interred at Danville, Boyle County, KY where her eldest daughter was then living.
