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.
