Mrs. Susan Fuller died at 8:30 oclock this morning at her home No. 117 East Seventh street, after having reached the very advanced age of eighty-two years. Her husband died in 1881, and was buried in the city cemetery. His remains were exhumed to-day, and, together with the body of his wife, will be shipped to Rockford, Ill., to-morrow evening.
"Mrs. Fuller was a native of New York and had resided in Sedalia fifteen years. She was a devout Christian woman, loved by her family and esteemed by the community. She retained her faculties till the last, and did not fear to answer the final summons. She leaves three children, Samuel Fuller, of this city; Bruce Fuller, of North Dakota; and Ezra B. Fuller, who is a lieutenant in the famous Seventh cavalry, U. S. A., and a member of the company commanded by Captain George Wallace, who was killed in the battle of Wounded Knee Creek, with Chief Big Foots band of Sioux, a week ago. Telegrams relative to his mothers death were received from him yesterday. Samuel Fuller will accompany the remains of his mother and father to Rockford to-morrow evening, immediately prior to which there will be funeral services at the residence, conducted by Rev. Donnell, of Holden."
