William Thompson Fuller (on viewer's right) was born 25 March 1857 in Ontario County, NY, and died 15 July 1918 in Paris, Lamar County, Texas.

He is buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Paris, Lamar County, Texas. The man to the viewer's left has never been identified but is thought to have been another Frisco employee, perhaps the fireman on the Frisco locomotive in the background.
