Early Friday morning of last week death removed from our midst another early settler and veteran in the person of William S. Fuller. He was well and favorably known to most of our readers who will sincerely mourn his departure. He was an honorable citizen, splendid neighbor, a loving and indulgent husband and father and while he will be sadly missed, his memory will long be cherished and the world will be better for his having lived with us. Those left to mourn his death have the genuine sympathy of all.

He leaves to mourn his departure three sons: S.J. Fuller of Hinton, Okla., A.V. Fuller of Laverne, Okla., and J.E. Fuller of New Market, twenty grandchildren and twenty-two great grandchildren and a host of friends.
Deceased was one of the early settlers of this county having moved to Iowa and settled on a farm south of New Market in 1869.
Uncle Billy as he was best known was of a kind and pleasant disposition, making friends with all, especially the children. He was a very patient sufferer during his last illness.
