FULLER, ZACHARY TAYLOR
The death of Dr. Fuller, on November 2, 1890, removed the ablest physician and surgeon of his time from Beaumont and vicinity, where he had practiced with notable success since 1875. Not only this, but it called from a sorrowing community a kindly and charitable man and a citizen whose warm and strong support had always been given to enterprises of material, moral and spiritual benefit.
The late Dr. Fuller was born in Greenville, Alabama, March 12, 1849, and was a direct descendant of the Samuel Fuller who was a passenger on the Mayflower. The parents, William R. and Emily (Ellis) Fuller were natives of South Carolina, who came to Texas about 1850, and resided in Newton for many years. The father was a planter and a man of very strong character and influence in his community. It was at Newton that Dr. Fuller was reared, receiving much of his early education from a private tutor, Harrison Ford, who was an able scholar of that time and place. He began studying medicine with a brother-in-law and later with old Dr. Seastrunk, of Newton, and in 1874 graduated from the Mobile Medical College. Shortly after locating at Beaumont, in 1875, he had become the leading physician of the district, being in special demand as a skilful surgeon. Dr. Fuller took post-graduate work in Bellevue Hospital Medical College; was always abreast of the times in his profession, and also owned and conducted a drug store at Beaumont. Politically he was a Democrat and served five and a half years as a member of the town school board, this, however, being but an incident in his long and useful career as an active, conscientious and influential citizen.
Mrs. Fuller, who was married November 28, 1876, during her maiden days was Miss Mary Gilbert. She is likewise descended from notable ancestry, Matthew Gilbert, one of her forebears, being an early governor of the New Haven Colony in Connecticut. On her mother's side she is descended from Remember Baker, who was one of the sturdy Green Mountain Boys. Mrs. Fuller's parents were Nathan and Caroline (Allis) Gilbert, both natives of Connecticut, who settled in Louisiana about 1840, and in 1854 moved to Limestone County, Texas. Her father was a merchant and during the war was engaged to protect and further the cotton interests of the Confederate government. He located at Beaumont in 1864, during his last years dealing extensively in lands, and made that city his home until his death (July 18, 1866), which occurred while he was on a visit to Houston. Mrs. Caroline Gilbert, the widow and mother, died January 21, 1899. For the past two years Mrs. Fuller has been regent of the Col. George Moffett Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and for two years prior to that was registrar. She is also an active member of the Twentieth Century Club, and a lady of prominence in the cultured circles of Beaumont.
