Biographical Notes:
It is believed that John Fuller either died or was buried “near Choctaw Creek” (unproven) [sic] in Grayson County, Texas. He was a Civil War Veteran. James Monroe Fuller has the old powderhorn that accompanied the pistol that John Fuller carried during that war. The opportunity to have the pistol and a rifle was given to him by Grandma (Ida) Fuller, when he was just a kid. But he wanted no part of them because he couldn’t play with them! He is still kicking himself over that decision! The pistol is now in the possession of Troy Lee Fuller of Bellingham, Whatcom County, Washington. Troy seems to remember something about that pistol.. that it had killed three or four persons, possibly one of whom is explained in the following story related to me by Elizabeth and James Monroe Fuller!
The story about John Fuller, as told by James Monroe Fuller’s father, James Franklin Fuller. The story goes that when John returned home from the Civil War, he asked Nancy, his wife, where his dog was. She replied that her brother had taken him to his house. John then got on his horse and rode over to his brother-in-law’s house, called him outside, and asked for his dog. When the brother-in-law refused to give John the dog, John shot and killed him on the spot!
The old Fuller homeplace where John and Nance lived is near Delba, Fannin County, Texas. There is also some brick foundation still near there that was a blacksmith shop. Dave Fuller had a stirrup shop there also. During World War I he made wooden stirrups for the Cavalry and James Franklin Fuller worked with him.
The homeplace of James W. Fuller and Sarah Ida White was about a mile or two from the “town” of Delba, where James Monroe Fuller lived, while his dad was farming the land there. (The Old “Fuller” Cemetery is located off Highway 78, west of Leonard, Fannin County, Texas. Turn south at the big two story house, (was grey with white trim.) Follow the road to the galvanized buildings, and turn right. Then turn right at the beige house. The little cemetery is down just a short distance, on the right.)
There is old “Fuller” Cemetery around Delba, Texas, in Fannin County. The cemetery is being kept in nice condition by a Mr. Flanagan living nearby. It has a chain link fence around it. It is a very small cemetery. The following is an excerpt from Elizabeth and James Monroe Fuller on an outing of looking for the Fullers buried there:
Dave Fuller, brother of J. M. Fuller’s great-grandfather, John Fuller, and his wife and children are buried there. (Thought this was Thomas Dave, John and Nancy’s son.)
J. D. Fuller, born June 3, 1847, died July 23, 1917 (Dave)
L. S. Fuller, born May 13, 1848, died Aug. 5, 1928 (Laura)
John T. (Tom) Fuller, born 1874, died 1950
Hughie Fuller, Born 1876, died 1965
Sarah Tennie Fuller, born Sep 20, 1882, died Oct. 29, 1974, Married Nov. 1, 1903
(Husband: Perry Rado Evans, born July 27, 1879, died Dec. 31, 1968)
Oscar Fuller, born Aug. 1, 1888, died Sep 1, 1909
J. M. Fuller, born Apr 29, 1876, died July 18, 1891
(We think this must be Jimmy; he was born between the birth dates of Tom and Hughie – we didn’t find Allie, Walter, or Nettie)
The others that we have are children of Dave Fuller, and/or grandchildren;
Oscar Fuller, born 1902, died 1926
Cora Ann Fuller, born 1881, died 1931
Laura Jewel Fuller, born 1902, died 1926
Etta Mae Fuller, born 1904, died 1905
John David Fuller, born 1901, died 1901
James Fuller, born 1918, died 1974
Judy Kay Fuller, born 1962, died 1963
Ruby D. Wolfe, born 1912, died 1964
Hattie M. Hair, born 1892, died 1977
Lizzie Mae Fuller, born 1905, died 1936

J. F. Fuller – Assault to Murder – Intended: George Ingram – 10 Jan 1893
(Referring to Bonham, Texas, Fannin County, Texas Court Records above, is an exact copy of one of three documents regarding that case. I was under the impression that the shooting that took place related to me by J. M. Fuller, was shortly after the Civil War, and maybe occurred in Alabama.)
THE STATE OF TEXAS, County of Fannin, Know all Men by these Presents: That Whereas, J. T. Fuller after an examination on the 12th day of January 1893 before B. F. Douglass a Justice of the Peace in and for said County of Fannin stands lawfully charged by said Magistrate with the crime Assault with Intent to Murder Geo. Ingram and has been granted bail in the sum of Four hundred Dollars.
Now, therefore, we, J. T. Fuller as principal, and as sureties, acknowledge ourselves severally bound to pay to the State of Texas the sum of Four hundred Dollars; conditioned, that if the said J. T. Fuller will well and truly be and appear before the District Count of said County, at a regular term thereof, to be held in and for said County, at the courthouse thereof, on the 3rd Monday in Feby next, the same being the 20th day thereof, and then and there abide such matters as may be charged against him concerning the crime of an assault with intent to murder Geo. Ingram whereof he stands charged as aforesaid, then this obligation is to become void, otherwise to remain in full force.

J. T. Fuller, T. D. Fuller, G. B. Marshall, James Fuller, D. A. Fuller
Approved 12th day of January 1893

(Note: Interestingly, there was no “Final Disposition” on this case that could be found. It is possible that John Fuller could have died, left the state, or maybe paid the $400.00 bond and was cleared, or maybe the charges even dropped.)
(Note: There is another John T. Fuller, who is the son of Thomas David Fuller. It is possibly he, and not elder John T. Fuller, who shot George Ingram in 1893 in Fannin County, Texas, if in fact, that was the location where the shooting took place.)
*This info. I rec. just before Thanksgiving 1991, that the “Tommy” – child of Thomas Dave Fuller was actually John T. Fuller.
