General Notes: Husband - Dr. Smith Fuller
He attended the common schools, and in about 1835 he went to Washington College, which at that time was one of the finest institutions of learning in the United states west of the Alleghenies. He remained at college three years, electing and successfully pursuing an irregular course. In 1838 he began the study of medicine at West Newton under Dr. John Hasson, a distinguished physician of Westmoreland county and a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. Smith Fuller attended a regular course of lectures at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, and located at Uniontown in the practice of medicine in the spring of 1840. His field of practice soon extended beyond Fayette into adjoining counties of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, twenty to thirty miles being no uncommon distance in many cases to reach his patients. He returned to Jefferson Medical College in 1846, took further courses of lectures under Dunglison & Pancoast, professors, of national reputation. He was graduated in 1847, and returned to Uniontown, and his Southwestern Pennsylvania field of practice.
Originally he was a democrat, but identified himself with the national American party in 1856. He became a member of the republican party upon its birth, and in 1860 was a delegate to the republican national convention that nominated Abraham Lincoln. He was elected member of the State senate in 1860, and represented for three years the district composed of Fayette and Westmoreland counties, and was chairman of the committee on military affairs. His party in 1864 made him their candidate for congress in the district composed of Fayette, Indiana and Westmoreland counties. His opponent was declared elected by sixteen votes. Dr. Fuller contested the election, and spent five months at Washington, but was unsuccessful in securing the seat.
He was largely engaged in tanning for the wholesale trade in Georges township, Fayette County, and was a director of the National Bank of Fayette County.
By his first wife he had three children,-a son and two daughters,-all of whom were living in 1882. By his second wife he had five sons, three of whom were still living in 1882. Three of his sons were practitioners of medicine and one of law.
