Notes:

Said to have married William H. Posey Jr.

Notes:

Said to have died as an infant.

Notes:

Said to have married a POSEY.

Notes:

Not listed on the 1900 census with his family. Perhaps he died young?

Notes:

Paul Latham and Barbara Yancey Dore instead show the date of birth as 12 June 1895. Said to have married Selma Baker.

Notes:

Both Paul Latham and Barbara Yancey Dore both show that son, James Jackson Ferguson was born 7 August 1895. However, they both also show that Carrie Ferguson's birthdate was in June 1895, and if that date is correct, it would be highly unlikely that another son was born two months later. In any case, James Jackson is NOT listed with the family on the 1900 census, so if he was a son of James and Frances, it appears he died young.

Notes:

Paul Latham and Barbara Yancey Dore show her date of birth as 7 April 1897.

Notes:

Baby Roland Ferguson lived only six months.

Carrie married Robert S. Scurlock, Jr. on 10 Jun 1968 in Jasper County, Texas. Robert was born about 1919; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

I was not able to locate the family of Ferman Fullen in Robert Cecil McDaniel's transcription of the 1920 Sabine County census. However, they were listed on the 1920 Texas Soundex as residents of Sabine County, as follows. The soundex references Vol. 142, ED 170, Sht 3, Line 18. I examined the actual microfilm and did find the family. The microfilm copy was very light and nearly illegible, however. It appears that the soundex information was probably correct.

Per the 1920 Soundex card:

Fullen, Firman E W 24 TX
Fullen, Arlie V. W 24 TX
Fullen, Walter O W son 6 TX
Fullen, Minnie M D dau 5 TX
Fullen, Margurite R dau 2 8/12 TX
Fullen, Mona? M dau 8/12 TX

According to a copy of an obituary for F. E. Fullen, not fully dated or referenced, "ORANGE, May 11--Ferman Egbert Fullen, 48, of Orange, an employee of the Consolidated Steel corporation, died at a local hospital at 7 a.m. Thursday as a result of injuries sustained when he fell several hours earlier at the shipyard. He was working as a carpenter. He was a brother of Otis Fullen, vice president of the Security State bank. He was said to have suffered a skull fracture in a fall into the hold of a ship. Mr. Fullen and family have lived in Orange for about three years. Funeral services awaited contacts with the two sons in the army, one of whom, Arlis Fullen, 19, was awarded the silver star for gallantry during the Tunisian campaign. He later was wounded in Sicily and is now in a hospital at Martinsburg, West Virginia. The other boy in the army Pvt. Marvin Fullen, is stationed at Boise, Idaho.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Arrie Fullen, Orange; three daughters, Mrs. Hubert Deering, Houston; Mrs. J.D. Parker and Mrs. Madye Hennigan, both of Port Arthur; four sons, Walter Fullen, Newton; G.B. Fullen, Orange; Marvin and Arlis Fullen, both in the U.S. Army, three brothers, Otis and William B. Fullen, both of Beaumont, and J. Vertis Fullen, Newton; six sisters, Mrs. Kelly Fogg, New Orleans, Mrs. Charles Atkins, El Paso, Mrs. Basil Kee, Beaumont, Mrs. Ramsay Simmons, Mrs. J.B. Bobbitt, and Mrs. Ramsay Smith, all of Newton.

Family/Spouse: Arrie V. Smith. Arrie (daughter of Newton H. Smith and Nora A. Smith) was born on 28 Oct 1895 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 25 Feb 1972 in Buna, Jasper County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

It appears he had married a daughter of Richard and Lillie Davis prior to 1920, and been shortly thereafter widowed. At the time of the 1920 census, he was a boarder in their home, listed as son-in-law, and also as widowed. His younger sister, Velma, was also a boarder in that same home. There is a death certificate on file for his first wife, viewable online at FamilySearch.org, Texas Deaths, 1890-1976. She was shown as Mrs. Otis E. Fullen, born Oct. 20, 1898 died October 29, 1918 from bronchopneumonia due to the Influenza epidemic sweeping the world. Her parents were shown as R. D. Davis of Alabama and Miss Fortenberry of Mississippi.
