Rathbun Fuller, the second son of General John W. Fuller and Anna B Rathbun Fuller, who was the daughter of Josiah Rathbun and Irene Ballard, was born in Utica, Oneida County, New York on Mar. 29, 1857. Rathbun received his primary and secondary education in the public schools of Toledo. Upon completing his high school studies, Rathbun attended law school at the University of Michigan. Two years into his program, however, he had to end his matriculation due to economic hardships. Following his abrupt change of plans, Rathbun returned to Toledo. He found employment with the firm of Haynes Potter & Beckwith and was admitted to the bar in 1879.
Shortly after starting with Haynes, Potter, and Beckwith, Fuller married Katherine Grout of Detroit, Michigan, on Sep. 3, 1882. In 1881, Rathbun started the law firm of Collings & Fuller where he practiced law until 1888 and also served as deputy clerk for the U.S. district court and then as U.S. commissioner. Following his departure from Collings & Fuller, Rathbun added his name to the law firm of Swayne, Hayes & Tyler. After the deaths of Mr. Swayne and Mr. Hayes, Fuller continued to operate the office under his own name.
In addition to his legal affiliations with the American and Toledo Bar Associations, Rathbun was active in several different organizations including the Ohio Society of New York, the Toledo Elks, the Toledo Club, the Chamber of Commerce and the Inverness Club. Fuller also had a myriad of financial concerns, holding large amounts of stock in the Toledo Trust Co., the National Bank of Toledo, Toledo Edison, Bostwick Braun, Toledo Scale and Libbey Owens Ford. He was also a trustee of the Toledo Museum of Art, the Edward Drummond Libbey Trust and Vice President of the Toledo Zoological Society.
Fuller retired from professional life in 1907 and died at the age of 80 of a heart attack on December 16, 1937. Upon his death in December 1937, Rathbun Fuller left the majority of his estate, approximately $150,000 to his wife Katherine. Mrs. Fuller, who died at the age of 93 in 1953, used the bulk of her inheritance for philanthropic purposes, donating large amounts of money to the Toledo Nurses Association, the Toledo Museum of Art, the Toledo Zoological Society and the Toledo Hospital.
