    The many Niles friends of Mrs. Bradley Fuller learned with deep regret of her death which occurred Saturday at the Michigan State hospital, Van Dusen building, Kalamazoo, where she had been for about six months.
    Mrs. Fuller was formerly Miss Teresa Wedel of this city, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Wedel.  She was born in Niles in 1879.  In 1898 she was united in marriage to Bradley Fuller, who died just nine months ago next Saturday after two weeks' illness with heart disease. The death of Mr. Fuller came as a great shock to the devoted wife who had for several years been in ill health and three months later she suffered a complete collapse and was taken to the hospital for treatments.  She was considered to be improving rapidly and her Niles relatives who had recently visited her, had been encouraged to hope that she would soon be restored to her former health.  However, Saturday afternoon she was found dead in her room.
    The body was brought to Niles Sunday morning and taken to the home of her brother, William Wedel, North Eleventh street, who resides on the old homestead.  The funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the house.  Interment will occur at Silver Brook cemetery. Rev. Paul Saffran will officiate.
    Mrs. Fuller is survived by one sister, Mrs. G.W. Zimmerman, North Eleventh street, and by two brothers, William of his city and August Wedel of San Francisco, Calif.  Mrs. Wedel, mother of the deceased, died just three months ago yesterday.  The brothers and sister have the sympathy of many friends in the bereavements which have so recently come to them.
