    Notes:

    Source: The Bee newspaper, 21 November 1922 (Danville,
    Virginia), from which the following is quoted:

    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.

    "I was about to give the same guess [as to the person for
    whom Blanch, North Carolina was named], although I didn't
    know that Blanche Moore's father had run the post office.
    Blanche Moore was a cousin of my grandmother's, Lydia Anne
    Watkins, and they were very close. I remember visiting
    "Cousin Blanche" as a child when she lived in the house the
    Moorefields own now. She was quite a lady, and Blanch can
    be proud to be named for her! My grandparents built the
    house in Blanch that Wayne and Linda Bray now own, and they
    raised a family of 11 children. After he turned his dairy
    farm over to a son, my grandfather also ran the post office
    and train station there. It was before my day, but have
    heard many stories of the "hobos" who road the trains
    during and after the depression and stopped in the area. My
    grandfather bought some beautiful pieces from peddlers who
    rode through (former shop owners who had lost all but their
    merchandise). Some of those things have been handed down
    through the family."
