Randall Fuller, founder of the town
of Fullerton, was buried last Saturday.
Although Nebraska is comparatively a
young state, her pioneers are growing
old and passing away, and the country
they assisted in developing is supporting
new and younger people who find their
inheritance to be all that could be de.
sired. Fifty or even 20 years ago, Ne.
hraska was an undeveloped prairie. To.
day it is the home of thousands of pros.
porous and happy farmers, and numer.
ous villages, towns and cities have
sprung up, the population of which is
constantly increasing. At the end of
another qrarter or half century the state
will have attained development that
will just begin to disclose its valuable
resources. Then people will realize what
they have missed by not investing and
establishing homes when land was cheau
and obtainable, as it is now.
