OBITUARY.
Rev. Caleb Fuller.

To the Editor of the Press:
As you thoughtfully noticed from the Bath
Times the death of the Rev. Caleb Fuller it
occurred to me that a more extended notice
of his life might be acceptable to class of
your readers. Mr.. Fuller was born In Paris,
Me-. Nov. II, 1906, consequently at his death
was in his S5th year. He was brought up on
farm and was favored with an excellent
common school education. At the age of
Is he became school teacher and continued
in that employment till he entered the minis
try. He became Christian In 1926, and In
1928 united with the Maine Methodist con-
ference, and was appointed to the Rumford
circuit, which is very large circuit, EN-
bracing large number Of towns on both
sides OF the Androscoggin river. He con-
tinued on this circuit two years. He sue
each two years, which was the disciplinary
limit OF ministerial service in those days,
viz: Belfast, Thomaston, Orrington, Still
water, Bath, Kennebunkport, Augusta,
Hallowell, where he spent one year. Owing
to the illness of his first wife he was ap-
numerary. In 1876 he located In Wayne and
remained in this relation for eight years
During this time he represented the town of
Wayne in the State legislature. He was re-
W bu6 cOUIcT6uCo IN 1904 anu SLd-
toned at Waterville where he stayed two
years. He was then stationed at Kendall
Mills two years. In 1853 he was SUPER
annuated. In 1859 he was stationed at HALO
well one year; Pennington two years, Pine
street. Portland. two years; Bath. Beacon
and again at Halloweil where he remained
three years. In 1871 his health again falling
him he ceased to take a pastoral charge but
remained remain IN relation to the conference as

Is Indicated by the fact that in nearly all Of
his appointments he remained the full dis
ciplinary term. He was not only popular
but successful in his ministry. Mr.. Fuller
attended the session of the conference at
Bath and was in his usual health and spirits
when called upon for some remarks. When
the conference voted a continuance of his
relation as superanuate he was unusually
happy and triumphant, shouting several
times Glory to God. The church and the
world have lost very valuable Christian
man. The writer feels very sensibly his loss
as a dear friend and brother. We joined the
conference at the same time and have for
sixty years been fast friends. ID. b. Il.
