John T. Fuller was born in Wilkes-Barre, March 31, 1856. His early life was passed in this city, with the exception of about four years, during which time he lived with his parents in Philadelphia. He was a student
in the public schools of this city, where he prepared himself for collegiate studies. In 1872 he entered the Freshman class in Lafayetté college, Easton, and during the four years' course of his college life he ranked first in bis class in nearly every study, winning many prizes, and graduated in 1876 as valedictorian of his class, being the first engineer, since the foundation of the college, who had ever won similar honors. He immediately took a post graduate course, for one year, and graduated in 1877 with the degree of Mining Engineer. Returning home he was employed in the Lehigh Valley car shops for the greater part of the next year. During the school years of 1878 and 1879 he was the principal of the high school in Dallas borough; after which he took a position with I. A. Stearns, civil engineer, in this city, and remained with him until last. November, when he received an appointment in the State Geological Survey, of Pennsylvania, under Prof. Lesly. In entering upon the duties of his new position he went into the field and remained until about last Christmas, where he commenced his office duties of completing his work. Не was engaged as above up to the time of his sickness. He was taken sick one day last week and on Sunday his relatives in this city were telegraphed for. He was found to be suffering with typhoid pneumonia; and this morning a dispatch reached this city that John Fuller was no more. He was a son of the late Hon. Henry M. Fuller, and a brother-in-law of Judge Charles E. Rice and George R. Bedford, Esq. In his social relations Mr. Fuller was the embodiment of pleasure and good will and his early demise leaves a void which will be hard to fill. He was bright, studious, energetic, and possessed a knowledge of scientific matters which many an older head would have been proud to acknowledge. He was universally liked among his fellows, and the announcement of his death created not a little surprise in this city. His family have the sympathy of the entire communíty in their bereavement.
