LADNER Query

New member, Kim, writes us with the following inquiry....

I am looking for information on Anne Ladner Fuller.  I have found her family including her parents and husband buried at the Ladner cemetery in Easton Maine but I cannot seem to find any thing about her death (when and where).  I have found a death date on Ancestry but there are no sources.  I need a source for my application for DAR. Here is the info I have:

Anne Ladner Fuller

Birth:  7 Jul 1853 West Point, Prince Edward Island; She is the daughter of George Ladner (1805-1881) and Elizabeth M. Wortman (1819-1913).

Marriage: 1881  to Edwin Lewis Fuller  (1856-1909)

Residence: 1900 Easton town, Aroostook, Maine
Death : 2 Oct 1928    ?Maine
