He spent his boyhood days working on his parent's farm and attended Westfield School. On October 16, 1861, he married a neighbor girl, Margaret Ann Hayes. They started housekeeping in a log house on the farm where he was born, about 2 miles southwest of Mt Jackson PA. In a few years, they built a new house in which they lived for the remainder of their lives. They were members of the Westfield Presbyterian Church where he was a deacon for many years.
Besides his regular line of farming, he and his cousin William A, operated a threshing machine for about 25 years. They moved the heavy machinery from farm to farm and were usually busy for eight to ten weeks each fall, but was never too busy to help a neighbor or friend. In 1886, he and his brother Walter purchased one of the first grain reapers and cut their first wheat with it that same summer. His hobby was machinery and his workshop included a feed cutter, a circular saw and other equipment. He also loved good horses, was in his glory when driving a four horse team and was a part of a county committee overseeing the fair treatment of horses.
He was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.), the New Castle Knights of Pythias, an Honorary Member of American Mechanics and a charter member of the original Grange in his community. He was one of the few musicians in the Fullerton clan. He and his son Willis both played violins for the school district's Literary Society weekly meeting in the 1880s and 1890s. His merry whistling entertained those along his early morning deliveries of milk, eggs and produce to New Castle.
He and his wife had four children (Harvey Orlo, Willis Love, Jennie May, infant Mary Cora 1877-78). They celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary on October 11, 1911 as part of the annual Fullerton reunion with about 250 relatives and friends partaking of the picnic dinner.
