Vast Paris.

Mrs. Marietta A. (Curtis) Fuller,
widow of Caleb Fuller, passed to the
higher life Tuesday morning at 4:S0, at
her home on Main Street. Mrs. Fuller
had been in frail health for many years,
and several years ago she suffered fall
which fractured her hip, and since then
she has been confined most of the time
to an invalid's chair. The last few days
were fraught with great suffering, but
her mind Was clear and she was able to
make such arrangements as she wished.
She was the daughter Of William and
Msrcella (Swift) Curtis, and was born
Sept. 9, 1889, In Paris. In 1851 she mar
ried Caleb Fuller whose death occurred
ten years ago. Two daughters were
born to them, Lulie B., who died when
about years of age, and Winnie E.,
wife of George W. Ridlon, who survives,
also one granddaughter, Bertha A., wife
of Chester Buck, two great-grandchil-
dren Kenneth and Lucille Buck, and two
brothers, Eugene Curtis of Norway and
Alva Curtis of Dixfield.
Mrs. Fuller was a member of the Uni.
versalist church, which she attended as
long as health permitted. Since being
confined at home she has firmly kept the
faith which gave her peace and joy in
suffering, and 80 irradiated her soul as
earthly life was closing that she felt only
peace and rest and q reunion with the
dear ones gone before. Before her mar
riage she was successful school teach
or.
A kind friend, loving mother and
grandmother. She will be greatly miss
ed, especially as the families of daugh-
ter and granddaughter have always en-.
joyed q home with her and cared tender
ly for her.
Another who in the early years of her
life shared her attention and received
the kind interest and love of a mother
was her stepson, the late Herman A.
