Gift to honor mother supports vital research
Margaret L. Fuller and her daughter, Mary Fuller Russell, were actively involved as members of our organization’s Board of Directors from the early 1900s -1979. Margaret’s son, Henry Fuller, also supported what was then known as the New Hampshire Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association.
Margaret Fuller believed in our mission and assisted those afflicted with tuberculosis, and Mary continued her mother’s legacy by spending many more years supporting the activities of the Association. Mary Fuller Russell then made a gift in her mother Margaret’s honor. Part of the proceeds of the gift continues to fund the Mary Fuller Russell Research Fund.
