The 1910 census indicates that Vernon and Elizabeth had 7 children total, 5 of whom were living. Ten years earlier, it was indicated that they had 3 children, all of whom were living. It therefore appears that son Wesley died prior to 1910. It also appears that they had another child that was born after 1900, but before 1910.

Funeral services were held Monday at the Ebenezer cemetery for Mrs. Elizabeth Byerly Alexander, 74, of Lufkin and formerly a Jasper citizen, who died Sunday in the Angelina County hospital.

She had lived in Lufkin three years and was a member of the Pentecostal church. Mrs. Byerly was the mother of Jack Byerly of Jasper and Mrs. Ellie Womack of Jasper.

Her death certificate shows the following: State of Texas, County of Angelina, City Lufkin, Angelina County Hospital Length of Residence 3 years Address Sheppard Ave. Female. White. Widowed. DOB December 7th, 1873 Age 74 years 1 month 18 days Housewife Born Vernon Parish, LA to James FULLEN born in Alabama (?) and Katherine PARKER born in Alabama. Informant Mrs. Effie WESTBERRY 606 Culverhouse St Lufkin TX Buried Ebenezer Cem. Jasper County on January 26th, 1948. W. C. Stringer Funeral Home DOD January 25th, 1948. Cause of Death Diabetic Coma 2-3 days Contributory causes Possible Brain Hemorrhage (5 days) & Hypostatic Pneumonia (2 days) due to accident (hit by car in Lufkin).

She may have been born prior to 1873, as the records in the Fullen's family Bible show the oldest daughter as "Emily, (born) 1870."

Peggy Tanner McDonald instead shows her as the daughter of William (sic) FULLEN and Catherine E. STROYON of Center, Shelby County, Texas. It appears that Catherine Parker married a Mr. Stroyon after the death of Jim Fullen, as she is living with Emily and Vernon and listed by this name in both 1910 and 1930.
