DANIEL FULLMER was born in St. Clair county, Ill., Sept. 29, 1833, where he was raised, his parents being of German descent. He enlisted from his home county in the One Hundred and Forty-ninth Illinois Infantry, in 1865. He was married in 1868, Nov. 24, to Carolina Marker, of Washington county, Ill., where she was born and raised. The names of the children are Catharine, George, and Mary, and two children not living nor old enough to have been named. Mr. Fullmer’s father was a finely educated gentleman, possessing more than the average intelligence. In July, 1880, Mr. Fullmer sold out his farm in Illinois, and took up his lot and estate with the people of Jasper county. His farm of 240 acres in the northeastern part of Twin Grove township, with the crops of 1882, produced— and the improvements in progress will be second to none in the county ere 1885—one hundred and twenty-five acres sown to wheat in 1882 averaged 25 bushels, and fifty acres of corn averaged 50 bushels an acre. There is a fine young orchard upon the farm, and good general improvements. Mr. Fullmer has been a farmer all his life and possesses that combination of energy, economy, and judicious enterprise, which has crowned his efforts and promises to render him ere long among the foremost of Jasper county’s husbandmen.
