Milton Fuller, a prominent dairy man and agriculturist of Center Township, was born August 11, 1836 in Henrietta Township, Lorain County, Ohio. Moses Puller, his father, was a native of Connecticut, born March 4, 1799. For some years in early manhood he was employed on the Erie Canal, and he was married in New York State, in 1830, to Mrs. Laura Woodruff Roe, the widow of Joseph Roe. In 1834 he came to Ohio and purchased 103 acres of land in Lorain County, which he farmed until 1868, when he sold it to his son and retired from business. He died nine years later, his wife surviving him five years. They had seven children: Jeanette, the widow of Osgood Wellman, of Lorain County; Maria, the widow of Bliss B. Remington, of licking County; Angelina, the wife of Chauncey Wellman, of Michigan; Milton; Byron, a traveling salesman, who resides in Nebraska; Julia, the wife of William Sherman, a keeper in the insane asylum at Toledo; and Amelia, who died in infancy.
Milton Fuller attended the schools of his native place in childhood, and later studied in high school at Milan, Erie County. He taught for several terms and at the same time manage the Homestead, carrying on a flourishing dairy business. April 9, 1864, he came to Wood County, where he settled on a partly improved tract of 80 acres, near Bowling Green, which he has since brought to a high state of cultivation, making many improvements, building new barns, planting an Orchard, and remodeling his dwelling house. He made a great success of the dairy business, and is the most extensive worker in that line in the township, if not the county.
He has been twice married – first, on May 2, 1862, in his native township, to miss Mary Elizabeth Haynes, who was born February 3, 1839, in Henrietta. They had four children, whose names, with dates of birth are as follows:Liddie, 1863, died at the age of four years; Fred, November 20, 1866; Frank, February 27, 1868, is a blacksmith at New Bavaria; and Myra, 1875, is at home. Mr. Fuller's first wife died in 1892, and he has since on 8 February 1894 in Wood County married Mrs. Carrie Higgins Poe, a daughter of Dr. Higgins of Center Township, and the widow of Arthur Poe.
Mr. Fuller is a Republican, politically, but he does not care to enter the lists as a candidate for office. He is a generous supporter of any worthy cause, and is a leading member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
