DE.ITH or WILLIAM ~. FTLLER.

The Cleveland ohio Herald of Feb. 18th,
publishes the following in relation to the
death of William IL. Fuller of that city,
who was grandson Of Deacon Abel Haven,
late Of Dummcrslon, and well known to
many in this vicinity:
''The death of William II. Fuller, which
occurred on Friday evening last ut the res
idencc Of his father in this city, after an i'll
ness of about eleven months, was an event
which carried its burden of sorrow not on
ly 10 his immediate family connections,
but also to Il wide circle of friends. His
long service in various capacities with the
First National Bank of this city, having
been with it since its organization, made
him generally and iavorably known to our
business community. Mr.. Fuller was
taken sick with fever some time in March,
1870, and consumption gradually setting
in, after a long and painful illness he fell II
prey to its ravages.
"ln his official position ms assistant cash
Ter of the First National Bank he was ac
tive, untring, and conscientious in the
discharge of his tluties TO his employers,
kind, courteous and obliging TO those doing
business with them, and without dispar-
agement to the many excellent officers in
the city, it is not too much 10 say that he
was without superior here in the position
which he occupied.
"In his social relations Mr. Fuller was
generous to fault, highsouled, with Il
sense of honor that shrunk from every
meanncss, and fidelity to friends that
ould not be shaken. What he was in the
amily circle only those who have met him
there can know.
"Durng his last illness Mr.. Fuller made
profession of the Christian faith, and on
his bed of death found in it perfect conso-
lation for his coming change, lie resign
ed his life with an abiding faith in the flu
ture, which robbed the grave of his victo-
ny and death Of its sting
