George W. Fuller was born in Butler County Kentucky on January 4, 1854.

His parents were John H. Fuller and Sarah A. Burres Fuller.

George W. Fuller had two sisters and five brothers.

NANCY FULLER ~ ORLENIA FULLER

MARCELLUS M. FULLER ~ WILLIAM HENRY FULLER

THOMAS D. FULLER ~ JOSEPH R. FULLER ~ JAMES C. FULLER

George apparently lost his mother about the age of 7-8 since she was not listed in the 1860 census

for Butler County, Kentucky even though the rest of his family was listed with the exception of one

sister, Orlenia. I found a birth record for Orlenia, but no death record. I was unable to find what

happened to most of his brothers and his one remaining sister after 1860. It was told by one family

member that the children were given away after the death of their mother.

But I have found no proof of that so far.

When George was grown he moved to Colorado to survey land for the government. He fell in love

with Colorado and stayed on. He met and married his wife in Trinidad, Colorado.

Her name was Palestine Mary Jane Allison. George apparently worked on the Titsworth Ranch

there since his first daughter, Eva Mae Fuller, was born there. They lived in El Moro, Colorado.

which is a small town just east of Trinidad, Colorado. The town itself is no longer there except

for the old school. In the 1960's the "hippies" took over the old town and turned it into a

community of their own. The place became known as 'Drop City'. The 'hippies' are all gone today

but some of their old buildings remain. The buildings were made from old car bodies, mostly the hoods.

I remember when I was in high school going to look at the Drop City. The 'hippies' were still

there at that time and it was something to see. We parked over by the old school house, which

is across the road, and sat and watched the comings and goings. The school, for it's time was

quite large. And even for some of the remaining country schools today it would still be

considered big.

El Moro is where the children of George and Palestine were born and raised.

Their children were:

EVA MAE FULLER ~ LULA MAUDE FULLER

GEORGE HESSLER FULLER ~ JOHN CLIFFORD FULLER ~ EDNA BELLFORD FULLER
