Source: Kingman Star Friday, August 29, 1947
Dorothy Fuller, age 32, formerly of Indianapolis, lately of Hall, Ind., near Mooresville was burned to death but her husband, William H. Fuller, escaped injury, when the truck in which they were riding turned and burned two miles west of Veedersburg about 11:30 p.m. last night.
Mr. Fuller is an independent coal dealer, who hauled from a mine near Rockville. He and Mrs. Fuller had started to a mine to buy coal, but decided to go on to Peoria, Ill., to visit Alfred Pastel, a son of Mrs. Fuller by a former marriage.
About two miles west of Veedersburg, the man who was driving, lost control of the truck. It left the pavement, overturned and burned.
Mr. Fuller escaped without injury but the body of his wife was burned almost beyond recognition.
The Veedersburg fire department was summoned, as were Kelso Cartwright, Veedersburg chief of police, Charles Fishero, Fountain County coroner, and Bob Alenduff, state police officer.
The body was removed to the Fisher Funeral Home in Veedersburg. A coroner’s inquest will be held at 10 a.m. Friday morning.
Surviving besides the husband and the son at Peoria is a daughter by a former marriage, Bernetta Pastel.
Mr. and Mrs. Fuller had been married about a year. - thanks to S
