Hezekiah Fuller died at his home near
Farmers, n. c., February 18th, 1898
He was taken sick on his 6Sth birthday,
December 23rd, 1897, and after Il long
and painful illness passed peacefully
away.
He belonged to the Randolh branch of
the well-knowng Fuller family of North
Carolina. He was son of Henry and n
grandson of Archibald Fuller, who, i'll
his early manhood came to Randolph
and settled a farm on the waters of
the Uwharrie river, some ninety years
ago this farm is still in the family pos
session.. Archibald was a son of Jones
Fuller, of Granville county, n. c., who
had several other sons, from whom the
FullerS, of Fayetteville, Raleigh, Dur
ram and other sections of the State are
descended.
Hezekiah was raised on the farm and
partly educated at Science Hill Academy,
Ashebofo Academy, under Col. Brooks
and Trinity College under DIR. Craven.
He joined the Methodist church early
i'll life. When the war began and the
State Militia was ordered out, he was
chosen captain of n company, and after
wards was called to Il regiment and
elected Colonel and served throughout
the war in the service of his country.
He never took much part in politics
till the last Democratic Legislature, he
was elected to the House, by a handsome
majority, where he served ON several
important committees Col. Fuller was
endowed with mental capacities and
powers that but few people possess.
He was a man who tried to keep his
community forpthpr in feeling and son
tinfemt. Last spring, i visited him
when he was sick, and he said to me.
his mission was completed, hc had raised
a large family, and they were all self
sustaining.
On the 9Th of February, | went to sec
him in his last sickness, and he called
the family and several friends into
his room and said he wanted to make
n statement while he was living, which
he felt was his duty to do. He made
long talk, and concluded with Il fer
vent prayer. He said his greatest re-
greet was he had not devoted himself
to the study, and preaching of the Word
of God. He made Il clear statement of
his acceptance with God. l asked him
pOintedly was he saved man. He
answered, | am, | have an abiding conf
dence in the atomement of Christ, there
is nothing for me to do, but to pass
over the river, and rest under the shade.
He has Sorrowing wife and five
children who survive him. May they
all fully accept of Christ and meet their
loved one, in his beautiful and happy
home in Heaven.
