History

Fuller’s Station, on the Low Grade Division of the Allegheny Valley Railroad, is situated at the eastern end of the township, on Sandy Lick Creek. It contains about one hundred inhabitants, and is the principal shipping point for lumber, bark, etc. for that section of the county, about one hundred cars of lumber being shipped per month, averaging 10,000 feet to the car, and in the fall months the shipments of the bark are over ninety cars per month, averaging nine cords to the car.

The Fuller saw-mill was built in1862 by Abel Fuller, after whom the place and post-office are named; its capacity is from 15,000 to 20, 000 feet per day. In 1668 the aggregate business of this mill was over 2,100,000 feet of boards. Mr. Fuller has 265 acres of timber land, on which there is yet some 20, 000 feet of timber, principally hemlock. This mill was remodeled, and new machinery put in about two years ago. Mr. Fuller also has a store at this point, which was started in 1876. The post-office is kept in the store. Mr. Fuller cut the first stick of timber, and made the first improvements in this part of the township. Abel Fuller is a son of Salmon Fuller, one of the first settlers of Clover Township, who settled there in 1829. He was a native of Duffins Creek, Upper Canada, but removed to Painesville, O., where his son Abel was born in 1826. He has spent fifty-eight years of his life in Jefferson county. Mr. Fuller owns a farm of sixty-five acres, bought eight or nine years ago from Henry Milliron, and on which he has erected a good house and barn. He raises excellent fruit – apples, pears and peaches.
