Reverend Edward Knowles Fuller

High Street Baptist Church. — The earlier history of this church is

not known. On the 12th of March, 1838, Reverend Edward K.

Fuller was invited to become their pastor. The house used was the

one built by the First Universalist Society in North Providence. Mr.

Fuller was ordained April 11th, 1838, and held the office of pastor till

near the close of 1840. After this time there seems to have been no

regular pastor till 1845, when Reverend Daniel Round assumed

pastoral control, and held the office for five years. On his departure

Mr. Warren Randolph, of Brown University, supplied the pulpit, and,

after finishing his preparatory studies, was ordained in 1852. In the

meantime Reverend George Peirce, of Lowell, supplied the pulpit

also. Mr. Randolph was succeeded in 1854 by Reverend Arthur A.

Ross, and, after a two years' stay, he by Reverend Jonathan Brayton,

but, from failing health, he soon withdrew.
