1 | Fuller Farm, lunch break during harvest, 1923 Charles Woodman Fuller is standing on the right overseeing his harvest crew - no mention that any of them are family, Except on the boy on the far left is Babe Fuller about 11 years old .... I'll bet the crew looked forward to this lunch baskets arriving, packed up by the girls on the farm with a coffee pot .... This is a wonderful picture and gives you the atmosphere that existed at the time. | ||

34 | Getting ready for new mine system Preparing the area to add a rail spur into the Fuller Mine area after the main CPR rail line came through the valley in 1921 specifically to pick up coal from the area. According to Babe Fuller, his father, Charles W. Fuller mortgaged the farm and used the money to build this spur off the main line in about 1921/2 and when they started mining from this new mine entrance into the Fuller mine. they found that the coal seam that existed through the old entrance did not extend to the new entrance. The life that Charles and Grace had built over time ended and they then put their energy into the Minors Rooming House, which was run by Grace and her girls. | ||
