Charles Woodman Fuller

1861 - 1937  (76 years)

• Name	Charles Woodman Fuller
  Birth	11 Jul 1861	Dunkirk, Chautauqua, New York, USA   [1, 2, 3, 4]
  	When his father, PW, enlisted in the army 18 June 1861 in Ohio, the plan was likely that his pregnant wife would take the children (George 10,Myron 6, Mary A. 4 and 1.5 year old Nackey E.) to her parents' home in Barnard, VT. There certainly were trains operating in the USA before this time, so we assume that Zilpha was traveling to her parents' home when Charles was born on the way. In one of his letters, dated 7 Aug 1861, while in the war, PW said "Kiss to the little ones for me and if the Baby is a boy, call his name Charles W.". We know that she continued on to Vermont and presumably her parents' home, as this is where PW went after the war.
  Gender	Male
  Living	Between 1865 and 1979  [5, 6, 7]
  Early Life We can follow his earlier life through the movements of his father as a Baptist Minister to various small communities. We are sure that after his birth the family traveled to Barnard, VT and lived close to Zilpha's parents. In 1863 he was in Vershire and 1865 in Groton, VT. In 1868 he moved to North Troy, VT and in 1872 the family moved to Reynolds Twp, MN where his father was the Baptist Minister in Long Prairie and where Charles would have spent his teen age years.
  Residence	05 Jul 1881	Iona, Todd, Minnesota, USA   [8]
  Charles bought the S1/2 of SE1/4 of Sec 29, Twp 130, R 34 in Todd County in Minnesota for $100. This 80 acres connected directly to the 160 acres that his father purchased 10 April 1882.
  Census	06 Jun 1885	Birchdale, Todd, Minnesota, USA   [9, 10]
  The Census of June, 1885 shows Charles and Hattie, with Allen 5, Jessie 3, and Annie 0, living near Grey Eagle, MN. On the 12 May 1885 Charles and Hattie sold the 80 acres purchased in 1881 for $300 (they carried $150 mortgage) to Van Coil of Birch Lake, MN.
  Residence	Jun 1890	St Paul, Ramsey, Minnesota, USA   [11]
  St Paul It has been reported that after his wife died in 1890, Charles' house burned down and the children went to live with grandma Wade (Harriet's Mom) and he moved to St. Paul. After he was settled, his four children joined him in St Paul.
  Census	1895	St Paul, Ramsey, Minnesota, USA   [12, 13]
  The 1895 census shows the family living with his parents with the additional children of Harry, Jesse and Annie. The old City Directories for St. Paul show CW working as a car operator and other positions for the Twin City Rapid Transit Company from 1895 to 1900. From 1901-03, Charles worked for the city as well as the James Forrestal Co and lived at 840 Marion Street. Oddly enough the 1900 census shows the family in two locations, one take June 5 and the other June 15. The census reports show that Grace was operating a boarding during these years.
  Immigration	Between 1902 and 1937	Carbon, Alberta, Canada   [14]
  Charles initially came to Calgariy in 1902 and worked as a dray driver and then as a street car driver. He moved the framily in 1904. He then homesteaded and then was a farmer/rancher as many of his sons grew up as farm hands and cowboys. In 1902, Carbon was part of the Northwest Territories as Alberta did not become a province until 1 Sept 1905.
  Residence	01 Nov 1904	Carbon, Alberta, Canada   [14]
  Entered a Homestead for NW 1/4 of Sec 2, Township 29, Range 23, West of 4 M.
  Living	Dec 1904	Carbon, Alberta, Canada   [15, 16, 17, 18]
  Move To Canada Dora was born in Calgary in Oct 1904 and we know from his homestead papers that the family lived just outside Carbon, Alberta, Canada on the NW Sec 2, Twp 29, Rng 23 W4 continuously from Nov 1904 until March 31, 1908, when he made application for land ownership. The land title for this quarter section was granted 23 June 1908 and he was granted Canadian citizenship 23 April 1908. Life was difficult in the beginning; they lived in tents on the homestead until the first house was built of logs. They planted big gardens and had a large root cellar to keep vegetables over the winter. There were plenty of rabbits and prairie chickens for hunting and CW went to Calgary a few times to work. In 1917 CW purchased the school land portion of NE11, Twp29, Rng23 W4 which was above the ravine down to the coal mine entrances and the Knee Hill Creek. The area along the creek contained several coal mines and CW is named on a lease in 1920 when the family started the 'Fuller' coal mine and extracted coal from this mine for some years. The mine had a rail system where ponies pulled coal cars in and out of the mine at the bottom of the coulee and a cable winch system driven by horses pulled the cars up the hill to a tipple which dumped the coal into horse drawn wagons. They would haul coal to Calgary with horse drawn wagons and then bring back supplies. Babe Fuller said that everything came in barrels, rice, beans, coffee, flour and dried fruit. Charles built a house at the top of the hill where the family stayed. He also built a two story rooming house down on the flats below the mine, where the miners stayed and where there was always a big family atmosphere. This was especially true at meal time as the family also ate at the rooming house where Grace did the cooking and rooming house activities with the help of her girls. In 1923 the railroad connected Carbon and ran along the creek near the mines. We know the family owned and ran the mine until 1926 and we know that coal was mined until 1930, when Alfred Fox owned it. At some point a rail spur and a system for loading rail cars directly from the mine was installed. One story was that Charles borrowed money and mortgaged this expansion, but we have not found evidence of that. Another story is that the mine may have run into another existing mine to the west. The Fullers of Carbon were part of the mining community with tragic results; Alfred lost his life in a mining accident and both Jesse and Harry lost their lives as a result of mining incidents.
  Residence	20 Jun 1908	Carbon, Alberta, Canada   [14]
  Charles received the land title deed and ownership for his homestead land on NW 2-29-23-W4
  Naturalization	23 Jun 1908	Carbon, Alberta, Canada   [19]
  	Charles was granted Canadian Citizenship.
  Occupation	Between 1917 and 1926	Carbon, Alberta, Canada   [20, 21]
  Owner/Operator of the Fuller Coal Mine in Carbon. The family hauled coal with a team of horses and wagon as far away as Calgary. Charles would haul a load to Calgary and find some work there in order to buy supplies for the farm and rooming house and Babe remembers him coming home with barrels of flour, beans, dried fruit and bolts of material for the ladies. Carbon was a hub of coal mines all in the valley east of town. Charles built a two story rooming house in the valley close to the mines, which Grace operated and cooked for the miners. Daughters Dora and Belle were a big help in this venture.
  Residence	1917	Carbon, Alberta, Canada   [22]
  Charles purchased 157.31 acres of land in the NE 11-29-23 W4, that had a flat spot on the south side of the Carbon river coulee but also included an area that covered part of the coulee. This land carried the mineral rights and this is where the Fuller Coal Mine was located. Charles also built a smaller house on the upper flat just above the mine where the family lived while they operated the rooming house below.
  Residence	1923	Carbon, Alberta, Canada   [23, 24]
  In 1923 Jesse was murdered and although there was an inquest and a coroner's investigation that included 16 witnesses, the jury found that the wounds were caused by an unknown person. There has even been a book written about this murder, however is has gone into the books as an unsolved homicide.
  Occupation	1926	Carbon, Alberta, Canada   [25]
  Charles mortgaged the farm to built a new rail spur and were in the process of building the new entrance to the Fuller mine when the mine ran out of coal. Everything was lost and Charles was left with nothing.

  Residence	1927	Carbon, Alberta, Canada   [25, 26]
  Harry had received a homestead option on a quarter section of land near Acme, through a Government program for WWI veterans. In the beginning he used this land to grow vegetables for the family, however he and his wife lived close to the mine where he worked. They decided to build a house on Harry's homestead and spent a great deal of time and money with this plan and even to the extent of living on this new farm. The family helped build a barn and it was nearly complete in the fall of 1928 when Harry died. Unfortunately Harry had not completed the Homestead requirements and did not have the deed to the land so the government took the 1/4 farm back along with the improvements.
  Residence	1928	Carbon, Alberta, Canada   [26, 27, 28]
  Harry had planted potatoes at his farm at Acme an in the fall he was off work as his arm was in a sling from an injury at the mine so he decided to dig some potatoes and take them to Carbon. On 7 Oct 1928 he had a wagon loaded with sacks of potatoes and sheaves of grain and as he got to Carbon the horses lunged forward shifting the potatoes and throwing him under the wheels and he was taken to the hospital in Drumheller where he died the next day.
  Residence	1929	Carbon, Alberta, Canada   [25, 26, 28]
  Charles and Grace moved back to Carbon into one of the smaller houses down in the flats where they lived until Grace died in 1932
  Residence	1932	Carbon, Alberta, Canada   [29]
  Grace died prematurely in 1932 at the age of 66 leaving the family with a big loss.
  Residence	Between 1934 and 1937	Carbon, Alberta, Canada   [26, 28]
  While Grace was alive they liked to visit freinds and neighbours in their horse and buggy. After Grace died, Charles lived with family, batched with Babe and Ralph or vivited daughters Dora and Belle. Charles was known as a very easy going frienly person who helped people when he could. The example given was that he gave people coal from the mine when they asked for it and not when they could pay and he never kept track of what people owed him as he would take what they offered; sometimes a pig or chickens. You always felt "at Home" when you visited the Fullers.
  Death	07 Oct 1937	Calgary, Alberta, Canada   [30]
  Burial	10 Oct 1937	Carbon Cemetery, Carbon, Kneehill, Alberta, Canada   [31, 32]

  Documents		Fuller, Charles Woodman - Family Medical Book The Charles W Fuller family Medical Book or Home Encyclopedia of Health has recently came to light as it was handed down in the family from Grace Dechanet Fuller to her daughter Belle Fuller Vaughan and then down to her daughter Barbara Vaughan and family. It has been well used and is without the front or back covers (and a few pages in the front) and is some 5 inches thick and contains some 1400 pages. The book is in fact 10 books in one and covers all aspects of health and the human body as seen by the author in 1904. It is so complete that it even covers detailed pictures of bone and muscle placement. We can imagine our ancestor Grace Dechanet Fuller using this book almost daily with her family of nine children and are thankful that it was handed down in the family. The attached file is interactive to a website that has the entire book and that website is secure.

  Albums		Fuller Coal Mine, Carbon, Alberta Canada: (19) The Fuller family owned and operated the Fuller coal mine for some years about 1920. The mine opened in 1918 and went through several owners before it eventually shut down in 1930. The mine was a big part of the Fuller family life for many years. Charles also built a rooming house for the miners in the area and Grace was the cook and manager during this time it was open.
  		Fuller Farm and Ranch, Carbon, Alberta, Canada: (54) Babe Fuller said that the boys in the Fuller family were farmers to help on the farm but they were also cowboys and loved activities of being cowboys including bucking broncs and all that goes with that. We know that some of the boys participated in the Calgary Stampede, a big yearly rodeo event. Glen signed up for the army in 1916 and listed as "Ranch Cowboy" as his profession or trade and in another questionnaire he listed "Horse Breaker" as his profession. Harry listed "Farmer" on his.

  		Fuller Coal Mine Carbon, Tipple system, 1920 Fuller Coal Mine Tipple. During the Fuller tenure and before the rail line came in 1921, the mine opening was down at the bottom of the coulee just to the left in this picture. The mine had a rail system inside the mine where ponies pulled coal cars in and out of the mine at the bottom of the coulee and a cable winch system driven by horses pulled the cars on a small rail system up the hill to a tipple which dumped the coal into horse drawn wagons. The little rail cars were loaded inside the mine and pulled out by small ponies (Babe Fuller was a Pony driver). At that point the small rail cars were hitched to the winch cable and pulled up the hill on a small railway and this picture clearly shows the horses at the top of the hill walking around and pulling the cars up the hill.
