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. There is one folder of miscellaneous unsorted business papers of Asa Fuller and one folder of early wills of members of the Williams family of Bermuda, 1722-1789.
The one volume contains clippings from newspapers and magazines, and also some scattered Fuller family correspondence, 1876-1920.
Photographs include images of Fuller family members, 1840-1860, including Morris Fuller; his wife, Amelia Curtiss Fuller; and his father, Asa Fuller. There is also a miniature painting of his sister, Emiline Fuller, 1836.
