Husband of Eliza Buckingham Cooley. Son of Resolved Fuller and Elizabeth Nash.

Russell N. Fuller, M. D., was born in this township Jan. 3, 1817. His father, Resolved Fuller, was a native of Connecticut, and came to this county in 1796. He walked the entire distance from Connecticut to this county with another boy. He was born in 1780, and was therefore but sixteen years old at that time. When he reached this then wilderness he had just three shillings, or 37½ cents. He was industrious and economical, worked hard and grew wealthy. He bored the Chauncey salt well, and owned and operated the salt works there for some time. At one time he owned all the land where Chauncey now stands. He had a family of nine children, but two of whom are living---Russell N. and Hi- ram, of Marshfield, this county. The subject of this sketch was married in 1840 to Eliza B. Cooley, daughter of Caleb Cooley. They have eight children---Charles, Mary, Emma, Kate, Esther, John R., Milton and Henry H. The Doctor was Assessor of this township two terms, Township Trustee one term, and Township Treasurer one term. He commenced the practice of medicine in 1845, but has given up most of his practice of late. He owns a farm of 360 acres and is engaged in farming and stock-raising.
