The death of ex-Gov. Fuller was for
mally announced TO both houses Of the legis-
lature on Monday in a message from Gov
Grout. In the House Mr. Childs Of St.
Adams offered the following resolutions
which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the general assembly has
learned from the message of His Excellency
the governor of the death Of Ex-Governor
Levi h. Fuller of Brattleboro with feelings
of profound regret, and desire to place up
on record an expression of its appreciation
of his exalted personal character, his manly
and civic virtues, and his eminent services
to the state, therefore,
ReS0lUed, That in the death of ex Gov
ernor Levi K. Fuller the state of Vermont
mourns the loss of one of her most distin-
guished sons, who had contributed generous
ly of his time and talents to her service filled
with marked ability and steadfast fidelity
the highest positions within the gift of her
people, and, by his exceptional attachments
in commercial, scientific and economic en-
terprises, reflected honor upon the common
wealth for whose material and moral well
fare he labored with untiring zeal and con-
scientious devotion. Born in the humber
walks of life, Ex-Governor Fuller, through
his own integrity, natural ability, worthy
ambitions and unremitting toll, rose to en-
lnence in the many occupations with which
he became associated, and illustrated in his
own successes the possibilities of American
manhood and citizenship. In private life
and public station his record is without
spot or blemish. All his energies were de-
voted to causes that had for their purpose
the advancement of knowledge and the up
building of humanity. The state of Yer
mont unites in earnest sympathy with those
more near to him through ties of family and
personal friendship in mourning the loss
of a good husband a generous, kindly
courteous man, an upright, loyal citizen,
whose life was worthy of his native and
adopted states, whose heart and mind were
attuned to the loftiest conceptions of Chris
tian duties and obligations, and who
Bore, without abuse,
