Mrs. Annie Fuller Passes Away
Death unexpectedly yesterday afternoon [20 November 1922] removed one of Danville's oldest residents, Mrs. Annie Catherine Fuller who passed away quietly at 140 Main Street at about half past two o'clock. She was 95 years of age.
Mrs Fuller last week had an attack of pneumonia but had apparently overcome it. All day yesterday she was in bright spirits and, as ever, keenly appreciative of everything that was being done for her. She had just been talking to her trained nurse when she lapsed into unconsciousness and was dead within two or three minutes.
Mrs. Fuller had been an invalid for the past five years or from the day she fell and broke her hip. Notwithstanding this confinement she had remarkably well preserved faculties and she remained fully conversant with world affairs almost until her death. One of the most enjoyed events of the day for her was perusal of the daily paper which she read unaided maintaining interest in national and world affairs and discussing them with discrimination.
Mrs. Fuller was a daughter of the late Carter Powell and Sallie A. Moore, being born in Caswell County in the distant year of 1827. she lived for some time at Blanche, N.C., and then she moved to Bachelor's Hall. She was married to A. G. Fuller in 1847 and moved to Danville in 1865 making her home here ever since. Her husband who died about twelve years ago was prominently identified with Danville's tobacco industry. They had seven children but Mrs. Fuller outlived all but two, James E. Fuller and John E. Fuller both of this city. She also leaves five grand children, Albert Patton, W. F. Patton, Winston Edwards, Miss Janie Edwards, and W. A. Fuller, and a great grandchild.
Mrs. Fuller was for many years a member of Mount Vernon Methodist Church being probably one of the oldest members. During her early life here she was active in affairs and was well known and widely esteemed. She was endowed with many fine traits of character and through her lond period of confinement had shown exemplary Christian fortitude.
The funeral will be held Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock from the home on South Main Street.
