Burn C. Fuller passed away at his home in Eagle last Wednesday shortly after noon. Mr. Fuller has been suffering from an incurable chronic trouble for several years, and for the past few months had lived only on his sheer nerve and determination not to give up. He had attended to his duties as county assessor right up to the last, being compelled to take to his bed only a few days before his death. Wednesday morning it was evident that the end was near and friends and relatives recognized that he could not live out the day. The deceased was born in Vermont June 4, 1852. He received a college education, being a graduate of Cornell University. He early heeded the admonition of Horace Greeley and came West. His first venture was in Nebraska, where he was very successful in business. Closing out his interests in that state he decided to return to the land of his birth, but after a few month sin the east he could not resist the hold the West had on him and he came to Colorado. In 1880 he went to Leadville and from there to Aspen, then in the heyday of its mining prosperity. He was a resident of that camp for many years and there met and married his wife. To this union there were born four children, of whom three, Burr S., Anna, and Harry are now living. Later he moved to Eagle county taking up resident his Basalt and in June 1911 he and his family became citizens of Eagle. In 1918, Mr. Fuller was elected to the office of county assessor of Eagle County on the Democratic ticket was re-elected in 1920 and had been selected by his party as a candidate for re-election to that office again this year. As assessor, Mr. Fuller made an enviable record as a public official. The funeral services will be conducted from the home in Eagle this Friday afternoon and the remains laid to rest in the Eagle cemetery.
