Scope and Content Note
The Morris E. Fuller Papers cover five generations of family correspondence, 1836-1938, arranged chronologically by months. The Morris E. Fuller family and succeeding generations were residents of Madison, Wisconsin. Members of the family were involved with the Fuller Opera House, Fuller and Johnson Company, and the First National Bank of Madison.
The main portion of the correspondence relates to Morris E. and Amelia Curtis Fuller and to their son and daughter-in-law, Edward M. and Jessica Haskell Fuller. There is some correspondence from Asa Fuller, father of Morris E. Fuller; Emeline Fuller, sister of Morris E. Fuller; and Louis M. and Shirley Fuller Hobbins, daughter and son-in-law of Edward M. Fuller. There is also one folder of letters, 1840-1888, relating to Dr. Joseph Hobbins, the father of Louis M. Hobbins.
In addition, the collection contains genealogical data about the Fuller, Hobbins, and Haskell families, as well as clippings and ephemeral materials.
