HARRISON FULLERDEATH OF WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN OF JEFFERSON COUNTY FORMER MEMBER OF ASSEMBLY
Injuries Received in Recent Accident Hastened His Death Former President of County Agricultural Society Prominent in Masonic Circles.
Hon. Harrison Fuller of Adams Centre, one of the most prominent farmers and best known men of Jefferson county and a former assemblyman, died about 2:30 this
morning at the City [hospital,] at the age of 59 years. Mr. Fuller's health had been impaired for several years, and on May 21, while driving into the city, he was thrown from his buggy by another rig colliding with it in Washington street.
The effects of the injuries he received at that time undoubtedly hastened his death. Mr. Fuller had apparently been improving for several days, and his death was not expected.
The news of Mr. Fuller's death was received by his multitude of friends in this city this morning with deep and genuine grief; for many men had learned to love him for his cheerful nature, his sterling manhood and his good fellowship. Mr. Fuller was born at the old homestead in the town of Adams in 1845, a son of William Fuller. His mother was a sister of the late Henry Keep. Harrison
Fullers father and grandfather settled in Adams in 1830, and the father was during his life one of the most prominent and respected farmers of the county.
He was highly successful, accumulated a small fortune and was generally respected.
Hon. Harrison Fuller was educated in the public schools and at the old Union Academy at Belleville. He took up his father's occupation of farming and carried it on intelligently and successfully, even though he later acquired many outside interests. He was one of the largest land owners in the county and had under cultivation more than 1,600 acres. He was one of the first members and
always active in the interests of the Watertown Produce Exchange and has been for several years one of its vice-presidents and he served one term in the Jefferson County Agricultural society.
He took a deep interest in the development of his town, and had been interested in a number of industrial enterprises in and near Adams. He was vice-president
of the Farmers National Bank of Adams and a director of the Watertown National bank since its organization.
Mr. Fuller was always a republican, believing in the doctrines and principles of his party and giving freely of his time and influence to its service. He was elected to the assembly in 1892, 1893, and 1894, and probably no member from a Jefferson county district wielded more influence or was able to do more at Albany for his constituents than Mr. Fuller. He was not a reformer, in the commonly abused sense of that word, but believed in and practiced in politics the same rugged honesty that characterized his personal dealings with men. He was one of the most popular assemblymen in Albany, and it is said that when he had a bill pending in the interest of his district, members of the assembly were wont to say: Oh, that's Harry Fuller's bill: it's all right. This not solely because of their liking for the big-hearted assemblyman from Jefferson, but also because they all knew that Harry Fuller was not introducing any bills that he
was not sure were all right. Since his retirement from the assembly Mr. Fuller has not been very active in politics, but has always been loyal to his party and ready and willing to work for its best interests.
While in the assembly Mr. Fuller served as chairman of the committee on banks,a member of the committee on ways and means, and on trade and manufactures.
Mr. Fuller was prominent in local Masonic circles, being a member of Adams lodge and chapter, Watertown Commandery, K.T. and Media Temple, Mystic Shrine.
Few men in all this section had more friends than Harry Fuller. His heart was as big as his body, and his friendships as warm as his heart. His frankness, kindliness, honesty and obvious sincerity won for him a popularity that no amount of finesse or surface polish could ever have gained, and his friends were loyal to him as he was always to them. His big home was always open to his friends and he enjoyed nothing more than to gather a party of them around him and see their enjoyment of his hospitality.
Mr. Fuller married, in 1865, Miss Ella Snell, and is survived by his wife, one daughter, Miss Martha A. Fuller, and a sister, Mrs. J. A.D. Snell, all of Adams
Centre.
The funeral will be held from Mr. Fuller's home about two miles from Adams Centre Sunday afternoon at 3 and will be in charge of the Adams lodge, F. And A.M., and Watertown Commandery, No. 11, K.T. The interment will be in the Honeyville cemetery.
