In 1908, upon the death of John M. Davies, Fuller became only the second school superintendent for Webster Parish, a position that he retained for the last twelve years of his life. At the time the superintendent ran in a parishwide plebiscite, from which the school board members made the final selection. Fuller narrowly led in the election with 35 percent of the vote and was chosen by the board after it was deemed that his principal opponent lacked the educational credentials to be superintendent. Fuller was succeeded as superintendent by [[E. S. Richardson]], a Webster Parish native and a former superintendent in neighboring Bienville Parish, who later became the president of [[Louisiana Tech University]] in [[Ruston, Louisiana|Ruston]].<ref name=jagan/>​

From 1891 to 1894 and again from 1917 until his death, Fuller published the former ''Webster Signal,'' a weekly newspaper founded in 1864 and one of the numerous forerunners of what in 1966 became the daily ''[[Minden Press-Herald]].'' ''The Signal''competitor at the time was the ''Minden Democrat,'' and the two publications contested for legal advertising revenues from the various governmental entities. Fuller sold ''The Signal'' in 1894 to James Peter Kent, Sr. (1866-1937), and then re-purchased it in 1917.<ref>"Signal Was Founded in Year 1864: Parish Owes Much to the Recording of This Paper," ''Minden Signal-Tribune'' and ''Springhill Journal,'' Historical Edition, April 30, 1971</ref> In 1926, Mrs. Fuller merged ''The Signal'' with ''The Minden Tribune'' to become ''The Webster Signal-Tribune,'' which operated under that name until 1937.​
