         Death of DR. GEO. FULLER
         
         It is with regret that we record the death
       of DR. GEORGE FULLER, of Houghton, Mich., which
       took place on the 31st December. The deceased
       was well known to most of our citizens - and
       indeed throughout the Western Reserve, having
       been born and brought up in their midst. He was
       the second son of the late JUDGE SIMEON FULLER,
       and born September 26, 1822. At an early day, 
       as we are informed, he commenced the study of
       medicine in the Willoughby Medical College,
       where he graduated three years afterward. In
       1846 he was married to MISS ELIZA B., daughter
       of the late HEZEKIAH FERGUSON, and commenced 
       the practice of medicine at Gates' Mills. He
       afterwards removed to Kirtland, and from thence
       to Albion, Mich. He also spent a season at Otta-
       wa, in this State, and finally removed to Hough-
       ton. DR. FULLER had been out of health for more
       than a year, and was at times a great sufferer.
       In May last he made a visit to his friends here,
       and seemed to recuperate and gain strength, re-
       turning home much encouraged. But it appears he
       gained no permanent benefit. It is worthy of
       note that only four weeks ago we recorded the
       death of the elder brother, MR. RUSSEL FULLER -
       both of whom have been called away in the space
       of a month. DR. FULLER was considered an able
       and skillful physician, a man of generous im-
       pulses, an affectionate, indulgent husband and
       father, a loving brother, a faithful friend,
       and highly esteemed for his many genial quali-
       ties - entertaining his friends with lavish
       hospitality. Of the family of JUDGE FULLER, 
       MRS. DAVID LAW is the only remaining member.
       We copy from the Mining Gazette, published at
       Houghton, on the 1st instant, the following.
       
         Death has removed another old resident of
       Portage Lake in the person of DR. GEO. FULLER,
       who died Wednesday morning last, at the At-
       lantic mine, where he had been the medical
       adviser for years. The late DR. FULLER had
       resided in this section for nearly a quarter
       of a century, during which time he was in ac-
       tive practice as a physician. The deceased,
       who was about 56 years old was born in Ohio.
       During his residence in the district he has
       been in the employ of the Quincy, Franklin,
       Pewabic, Shelden-Columbian, Isle Royale,
       Huron, Atlantic and other smaller industries.
       He also enjoyed a large practice in this
       place. DR. FULLER was a man of strong intellec-
       tual parts, and as a medical adviser he ranked
       with the best physicians on the lake. Among
       his intimate friends he was highly esteemed
       for his many genial qualities. For over a
       year DR. FULLER had been more or less of an
       invalid, his ailment being a complicated form
       of liver complaint, which finally resulted in
       his death. He leaves a wife and five children.
       He will be buried on Friday (to-morrow) from
       his late residence in this place.
