The Fairbury News-Sep 10, 1909
On Sunday morning, September 5, A. W. Fuller died at his home in this city after an illness extending over two years, during which time he had gradually grown weaker.
The funeral was held from the residence; the sermon being preached at 2 o'clock by the Rev. Tourtellot and interment being made after the arrival of his son Harry from California.
The engineers acted as pallbearers and the floral offerings sent by that organization were beautiful tributes of the esteem in which the deceased was held.
Amasa (sic) W. Fuller was born in Port Jarvis, N. Y., April 18, 1838. He entered the railroad service in in (sic) March, 1856, as a fireman on the Erie railroad. At the call for volunteers he enlisted with the Union forces in Co., D. Regiment N. Y. volunteers Inf., with the Patomac (sic) and was in all engagements of that army from the first battle of Bull Run to the Battle of Chancellersville, after which he was honorably discharged.
He then returned to the Erie railroad in the capacity of engineer and remained with that company until 1875 when he began service with the Rock Island at Chicago. He saw service on nearly all the divisions of the Rock Island. He made his home in Fairbury in 1889.
For the past five years he has done no active railroad work but never resigned, retaining his name on the roll of workmen.
On March 31, 1864, he was united in marriage to Harriett W. Morse at Hawley, Penn., and to this union six sons, five of whom survive, were born. All the children were present at the funeral, those from a distance being Harry, from San Luis Abispo, Cal., George and wife, from Peru, Ind., and Bert, from Lead City, So. Dak.
