General Notes: Husband - Nathan N. Fullerton

---

He received his education in the common schools. When twelve years of age his father died, and being the eldest child, he was kept very busy in helping his mother to support the family. On August 14, 1862, he enlisted in Co. A (Highland Guards), one hundred and fifty-fifth reg. Pa. Vols. (called the Pa. Zouave reg.) He served from Antietam to Appomattox Court House, participated in thirty-two battles and skirmishes, was never sick, excused from duty, punished or received a furlough while in the service. After Lee's surrender he was promoted to a mounted orderly and served on the staff of General Pearson. After the war he engaged in farming with Samuel Smith of Sewickley township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He was a member of the Mars Hill Baptist church beginning in 1862, and was a trustee of the church.

He was but twelve years of age when deprived by death of his father [but this source gives his date of birth and the year of his father's death and it does not equal twelve], and being the eldest of eight children he remained at home and assumed a portion of the burden of rearing the family, which was left in straightened circumstances. The summer following his father's death he worked in the paper mills, but during the winter of that year attended school. The following spring he went to work on a farm, and this occupation proving congenial he decided to adopt it for his life work.
He enlisted August 14, 1862, in Company A, One Hundred and Fifty-fifth Pennsylvania Volunteers, serving until the close of the war and his record is an unusual one. He participated in thirty-three battles and skirmishes, was four times struck by mince balls and fragments of shells but never disabled, and served every day with his regiment up to the surrender of General Lee. He was then promoted to the rank of orderly under General Pearson, with whom he served up to his discharge in June, 1865. Mr. Fullerton was never arrested nor served a day in the hospital during his service, which was indeed a most remarkable record.
After his return from the war he again took up farming, working for his former employer, Samuel Smith, he having entered his employ in 1859. Ten years after the latter date Mr. Smith became the father-in-law of Mr. Fullerton, and after his marriage Mr. Fullerton assumed charge of the property and farmed the same up to the death of Mr. Smith, when a portion of the farm reverted to Mr. and Mrs. Fullerton, who then resided there. For one term Mr. Fullerton served as tax collector of Sewickley township, filled a similar period as auditor, and later acted in the capacity of assessor and president of the school board of Sewickley township. He was a Republican in politics. He was a member of the Baptist church, in which he served many years as trustee. He was a member of J. W. Greenawalt Post, No. 399, Grand Army of the Republic, of Cowansburg, in which he served as commander for a period of between ten and twelve years.
