Private Frank S. Fuller was born in Springville, Utah, July 30th, 1889, the sixth son of Sanford and Mary A. Fuller. His early life until he reached the age of twenty-one was spent there, and he received his education in the Springville Public Schools. He moved then to Nevada, taking up his residence with his sister, Mrs. S. W. Craner, at Las Vegas in the County of Clark. He was employed from then on until his entrance into the Service as a locomotive fireman on the Salt Lake & Los Angeles Railroad.

On the 19th of September, 1917, he left Las Vegas for American Lake, Washington. His training there was of short duration but thorough, and in November he was transferred from Machine Gun service to the 116th Engineer Regiment of the 41st Division and sent to Camp Mills, New York. The same month his regiment went overseas where the division was to serve as a depot division. Consequently, he did not remain long with the 116th, but was again transferred, this time to Company A, 2d Engineer Regiment of the 2d Division. On the morning of June 6th, 1918, his regiment moved into front line position in the Bourbelon Woods near Vaux, on the Chateau-Thierry Front. Just at break of dawn the enemy dropped several shrapnel shells into the position held by the Engineers, one of which exploded near Private Fuller, wounding him and two other men.

The sorely stricken young soldier was taken to the field hospital at La Ferte where he passed away the next day (June 7th, 1918). He lies in Grave 12, American Cemetery 253, Meaux, France. There are those who knew Frank Fuller as a civilian and those who knew him as a soldier, who could fill pages with many tender memoirs, yet after all had been said, who would have told the half of it? For those who is there who can voice or write the warmth of friendship and love or the admiration of heroic deeds well done? His commanding officer, Captain Tucker S. Wyche, has said: “Private Fuller, being a soldier of excellent character and habits had won the admiration and respect of his comrades.” And again: “He set a fine example of courage and reserve, under the most trying conditions, to the men of this command who sincerely regret his loss.” Nevada may well be proud of her representative who, clean in his manner of living and courageous in times of danger, gave his all in the cause of Liberty so dear to the hearts of Freeman. Besides his parents Sanford and Mary A. Fuller, who reside in Springville, Utah, the soldier leaves four sisters and four brothers: Mrs. Lavina Thomas, Spanish Fork, Utah; Mrs. Emma Hunt, 74—2d Ave., Salt Lake City, Utah; Mrs. Marilla Childs, Rexburg, Idaho; Mrs. Maranda Craner, Las Vegas, Nevada; Essex B. Fuller, 633 Cynon, Ogden, Utah; Geo. M. and Mark W. Fuller of Ogden, Utah, and Thomas Fuller, Springville, Utah. Fraternally he was a member of Amargosa Lodge, No. 749, Brotherhood of Locomotive Fireman and Enginemen, Las Vegas, Nevada.
