Death Of Mrs. Fuller

Last Friday evening, April 20,
the community was greatly shock
ed and there was a wave of gen
uine sorrow in every heart as the
word passed from lip to lip that
Mrs. Harriet Fuller had been sud
denly called home.
One of our leaders is gone. We
shall miss her greatly, for she was
a good friend and a great worker
who never spared herself.
God in His wisdom has called
her, and we bow submissive to His
all-wise decree and say, ''Thy will
be DONE
Harriet Eliza McCauley was
born III Oshkosh, Wis, October Z,
1854. On October 8, 1870, she was
married to George Henry Fuller.
To this union were born 3 sons
and daughters, all of whom
are living: Hiram, Frank and
Richard of Ellisport; Mrs. Lake
Price of Kent; Mrs. Philip Me
Cormick of Vashon; and Mrs.
Charles Newcomb, Mrs. Joseph
Carpenter and Mrs. Charles Fos-
ter, of Seattle.
Twenty-eight years ago the
husband and father passed away,
and Mrs. Fuller through all these
years, with her level-headed judg-
ment and practical sense, as well
as her great executive ability and
untiring energy, has been to all
these children never-failing
source of inspiration and courage.
OF twenty grandchildren and
three greatgrandchildrcn she was
justly proud. They will miss her.
One sister remains TO mourn her
loss, Mrs. Emma Root of Puyal-
lup, Wash.
Her husband served his country
in the Civil War, and she was as
fully devoted to her country, its
ideals and principles, in the pres
cnt struggle. She gave of her time
and energy unsparingly to patri-
otic tasks here at home. The Red
Cross, the Liberty Loan cam
paigns-every movement to win
the war-had in her generous
supporter She had been great
worker in the Good Templar lodge
also, and in the order of Rebekahs.
of which organizations she was a
member, and where her tact and
Judgment made her a strong per-
sonality.
AS companion and friend So
cially it was a delight to know her.
Her kindly interest in people was
one of her most endearing charac-
teristics, for she had the gift of
friendship, both to give and to re
ceive.
Her loved ones will miss her
sadly; so also Will the many
friends she has made on Vashon
Island, where she lived for thirty
five years.
The funeral was held on Sunday
afternoon from the home of her
son Frank, where many had
gathered to pay their last respects
to a dear friend. Rev, d. Oastler,
pastor of the Vashon Presbyterian
church, conducted the services.
and she was laid TO rest by the
side of her husband in Vashon
cemetery.
The passing of this rare woman,
this high and brave spirit, this
moving personality, leaves a void
that only she herself. living on as
sustaining memory. can fill.
