Spencer K. Fuller was born in Fullersvlllc, N. T., June 6. 1829, and died in Watertown September 16, 1870. lie was converted to God iu Carthage, N. Y., at the age of twenty-two, and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church soon after, lie pursued his preparatory course of study in Felley Seminary, Fulton, N. Y., and graduated at the Wesleyan University in Middletown with honor in 1859. He was licensed as a Local Preacher in Middletown in May, 1S57. He was married to Mise Sarah L. Horr, of Carthage, N.

Syracuse First Church, Rome First Church, Lima Seminary as Principal, and Arsenal-street Church, Watertown. He returned to his charge in Wutfrtown from our last Conference in apparent (rood health and went forward in bis work with untiring zeal. The extensive repairs on his church greatly added to bis labors. Still he worked on with unflagging devotion as long as he could walk from his bouse. On the 20th of July, 1870, he was stricken down with hemorrhage of the lungs, and in ehrht short weeks quick consumption had wrought its work of death. Thus, in the fullness of his strength and usefulness our dear friend and brother passed away. To yield to sickness and death in the midst of bis prime, when his familv, the Church, and the world Po much needed him, was a sore trial. But in the very first dnjs of his illness be looked the sternest crisis of his life squarely in the face, and in full view of every possible contingency of suffering and death he calmly and fullj said, "The will of the Lord be done."
Brother Fuller was a good, true man, a loving hu?D- band, a tender father, a hard student, a line scholar, i hearty Methodist, a stirring preacher, a faithful Pastor, a lover of the Sunday-school, an uncompromising foe of intemperance and wrong in all its forms, and i Christian gentleman every-where. He was modes! and unassuming in his manners, but absolutely Immovable in his convictions of right and duty.
