Louisa (Bane) Fuler
Aug. 21, 1900; Oregonian, p 4
Corvallis, Or., Aug. 20

   The funeral of Mrs. Louisa Fuler occurred from the late residence yesterday afternoon.  The service was conducted by Rev. Mr. Meminger, under the auspices of St. Mary's Chapter, O.E.S., of which the deceased was a member.  The interment was in Crystal Lake cemetery.  Louisa E. R. Bane was born in bracken County Kentucky, December 13, 1824.  In 1840 she married James A. Bennett, at Weston, Mo.  Their only son, John R. Bennett, died April 18, 1848.  On May 9, 1850, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, with 80 other families, left Missouri by ox team for Oregon.  The husband was captain of the team train.  They came direct to Benton County, arriving October 2 of the same year, having been nearly five months on the trip across the plains.  A donation claim was at once taken two miles southwest of Corvallis.  In 1854 Captain Bennett went to the vicinity of Boise, Idaho, and was followed two years later by his wife.  There they engaged in the dairy business, retaining the real estate holdings in Benton County.  In 1870 the husband's health failed, and for the succeeding 15 years the management of the farm devolved upon Mrs. Bennett.  In 1885 the husband died, and the remains were brought to Corvallis for interment.  In this city the widow thereafter resided.  Mrs. Bennett subsequently married her late husband, Mr. Fuler, who died about a year ago.
