      W.A. Fullen, 72 Dies of Stroke at Newton Home: Services for Father of Three Beaumonters to be held this afternoon at Antioch Church Near Bronson (Newton, Texas, Oct 16 SPL):

      W.A. Fullen, 72, father of Otis E. Fullen, W. B. Fullen and Mrs. Basil Kee of Beaumont, died of a stroke at his home on a farm near here early Saturday morning. Funeral services will be held at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon in the Antioch Baptist Church in Sabine county, eight miles east of Bronson with Rev. Mr. Harrell of Newton and Rev. Jack Lee of Farrsville officiating. Burial will be in the family plot in the Gravel Hill community. Mr. Fullen was married three times. His first wife was Miss Minnie Ferguson and of this marriage the following six sons and daughters survive: Ferman Fullen of Port Arthur, W. V. and Otis E. Fullen of Beaumont, Mrs. Basil Kee of Beaumont, Mrs. Kelly Fogg of New Orleans, LA, and Mrs. Charles Adkins of El Paso. Mr. Fullen was then married to Miss Nettie Weaver and four children of this union survive. They are Mrs. Ramsey Simmons, Mrs. Ramsey Smith, Mrs. J.R. Bobbitt and J. Burdis Fullen, all of Newton County. Mr. Fullen's third wife, the former Mrs. Emma Weaver, to whom he was married 20 years ago, survives, as well as a number of grandchildren. Pallbearers at the services will be five sons-in-law, Kelley Fogg, Ramsey Simmons, Ramsey Smith, Basil Kee and J. B. Bobbitt and a brother-in-law, Hampton Boyett (husband of Mittie WEAVER). (Hand written on the bottom of the clipping was Enterprise 10/17/47, however, both Pam Mahon and his tombstone confirm his date of death as 16 October 1943).

      The family moved to Newton County circa 1925.
