DeRidder-The Rev. A. H. "Bill" Fullen, 62, died Monday.
Services will be at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Beauregard Funeral Home Chapel. The Revs. J.P Miles, E.J. Hollis and E. Howell will officiate. Burial will be in Lewis Cemetery.
Surviving are his widow: a daughter, Mrs. Clara Brewere, DeRidder; five sisters, Mrs. Viola Walker, Mrs. Clara Dolmajian and Mrs. Fannie Fowler, all of Dallas, Tex., and Mrs. Bertie Clark and Mrs. Ruby Kraner, both of Hemphill, Tex.; one brother, Louis Allen Fullen, Hemphill; and two grandchildren.
Her birth information, as shown in the scan of BIRTHS recorded in the Fullen bible, was as follows:
Adell 1917
Tiffany Layman provided more complete information about her birth and death, based on the following sources:

According to the following marriage information, Birdwell, R.D. to A.A. Fullen 7 Mar 1898 by W.T. Harvil, M.G. The 1900 Census shows A.A. Fullen to be named Alice A., and that she was born in approximately 1881. I am assuming she is a daughter of John and Jane Fullen, and not of William and Elizabeth Fullen, for the following reasons:
1) There appear to have been only two Fullen Household's in Sabine County in 1881; that of William Fullen and that of John Fullen. It is assumed one of these two men was her father.
2) Alice would have been too young to be listed with either Fullen family in 1880. The census for 1890, when she was age 9, was destroyed. She was married in 1898, so is listed with her husband in 1900. This is why she will not be found listed with either family on census records.
3) According to the Sabine County 1910 Federal Census, John and Jane Fullen had been married for 42 years. They had had 9 children, 7 of whom were still living. By examining other census information, eight of these nine total children can be accounted for. I believe Alice to be the ninth. William and Margaret had also been married for a total of 42 years. They had 6 children, 5 of whom were still living. By examining other census records, all six can be accounted for.
4) On the 1890 Scholastic Census, Lena, 13, Ginnie 11, and Washington 8 were recorded as attending No. 57, Bethany. Surely if Alice were one of their siblings, she would have been in attendance as well. She and Washington were both born circa 1881. By way of contrast, none of the children of John and Jane Fullen were recorded on the 1890 Scholastic Census. Presumably they were needed at home for farmwork.
Winona Alice Fullen Roberts, 62 of Newton died on May 28, 2010 at her residence. She was born on July 27, 1947 in Jasper, Texas and had lived in Newton for most of her life and was a nurse's aide.
She is survived by her brother, John Fullen of Newton, and sisters, Nita Nolen of Silsbee, Texas, Annette Betz and Ruth Bell both of Newton.
Funeral services will be held on Sunday, May 30, 2010 at 10am at Smith Funeral Home in Newton with burial to follow at Quicksand Cemetery in Newton County.
She was predeceased by her parents, Bertis Fullen and Winona Rose Fullen.
Visitation will be on Saturday, May 29 at the funeral home.
Annie Lou Simmons, age 86, of Newton died July 2, 2002 at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont. She was born on July 14, 1915 in Milam, Texas and had lived in Newton for 76 years. Funeral services were held on Friday, July 5, 2002 at 2:00 pm at Smith Funeral Home in Newton. Burial followed at Old Union Cemetery in Newton County.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Ramsey Tom Simmons; brothers Joe Fullen, Isaac Fullen and John Bertis Fullen and sisters, Pearlie Mae Fullen Bobbitt and Ollie Fay Fullen Smith.
She is survived by her daughter, Doris Mitchell of DeRidder, La. and her 3 sons, John Lloyd Simmons of Buna, Paul Simmons of Newton and Jimmy Simmons of Newton; 11 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren.
Her birth information, as shown in the scan of BIRTHS recorded in the Fullen bible, was as follows:
Bessie 1913

Slaying ends a religious mission
Arlington man charged in death of 'street minister'
By Kristen N. Sullivan
Arlington-David Fullen's mission for the past few weeks had been to draw 2,000 banners for this weekend's March for Jesus in downtown Fort Worth, his mother said.
The last banner, depicting a crown of thorns on a 4-foot-high cross, hangs unfinished on his bedroom wall in Carol Fullen's west Arlignton apartment. Police said Fullen's mission was cut short about 4:30 a.m. Saturday when he was run over three time by a pickup in the parking lot of a neighborhood bar.
Cliff M. Livingston, 42, of the 1300 block of Ashbury Drive, was charged with murder yesterday in the killing outside Tanstaafl Pub, 409 N. Bowen Road. Livingston was arrested Saturday...
"David's a real good talker, and I think he began ministering to this guy and sent the man into a tizzy," said Danny Smith, Fullen's associate pastor at Arlington Christian Center, 801 Bardin Road. "I think David was matyred for his faitn."
Fullen, 23, became what friends called a "street minister" about three years ago after joining the southwest Arlington church. Most evenings, he dressed in his black motorcycle jacket and black boots, collected his Bible and the pamplets he wrote describing his religious experiences and headed for Dallas' West End Marketplace or Deep Ellum, said Carol Fullen, his mother.
About 1:30 Saturday moning, Fullen joined a neighbor, Jesus Estrada, at Tanstaafl Pub next door to his Bowen Road apartment complex. At Tanstaafl, the two friends began talking to Livingston, witnesses said.
"I was sitting at the bar between the man and David," said Estrada, 25. "When the bar was about to close, the guy said, "Let's go to his house and have a couple of beer."
The three men left the bar in Livingston's 1987 gray Chevrolet S10 pickup....Livingston (later) drove them back to the pub.
Back at the bar, Estrada and Fullen climbed out of the pickup, police said. Fullen walked toward the tailgate, and the truck backed into Fullen, then ran over him three times, Estrada said.
"I ran to David and tried to pick him up," Estrada said, "He couldn't get up."
"He was just laying there," Estrad said. "I said: 'Don't give up. Don't give up, man."...Fullen ws pronounced dead at the scene.
Fullen, who portrayed Jesus this spring in Arlington Christian Center's Easter pagent, had completed several religious drawings for this weekend's interdominational march. Smith said children at the church are drawing and photocopying other banners to finish Fullen's work.
On his Texas Death Certificate, viewable online at FamilySearch.org, Texas Deaths, 1890-1976, he is shown as a Drug Clerk at a Pharmancy. His wife was shown as Nejuana J. Fullen.
The Texas Birth Index, 1903-1997 lists a unnamed female born on October 20, 1931 of Julia COOPER and Marvin FULTON (sic) in Van Zandt County. It is ASSUMED this is the birth information for Dorothy.
She was married several times:
(1) John OLDNER, and they were the parents of:
Julia LaVearn OLDNER b. 1948
Linda J. OLDNER b. 1950
Carl M. OLDNER b. 1953
(2) Jack Hunnicutt, and they were the parents of
Jackie HUNNICUTT b. 1957
(3) Curtis L. MORRIS (m. 1969 Div. 1970)
(4) Paul DURBIN (m. 1 Nov 1972)
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.
SOURCE: Obituary, as published in the Jasper Newsboy, Thursday, 5 February 1948, page 10 Transcription is courtesy of Yolanda Pepper Miller
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.
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:

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.

Little is known about James C. Fullen, even his exact name is uncertain. W. F. Fullen, a grandson, reported that both his father AND his grandfather were named JOHN W. FULLEN. He reported this in 1933 however, some 80 years after his grandfather's death, when he was completing his father's death certificate. The name John is inconsistent with several published histories of Sabine County, all of which list the progenitor of the Fullen family of Sabine County as James W. Fullen. No sources are cited.
In Gifford White's book, FIRST SETTLERS OF SABINE COUNTY, TEXAS, there is a James C. Fuller (sic) listed as receiving 320 acres of land on 4 Mar 1844. The Texas archives show that this land grant was actually made to a James C. Fullen. Due to both the time frame and the relative rarity of the last name Fullen, it is assumed that James C. was the husband of Rebecca, and father of William and John.

What is known is that Mr. Fullen and his 18 year old wife, Rebecca, moved to the Republic of Texas sometime before the birth of their son William around 1844. They had two more sons over the next three years, and he probably died sometime around or after 1848, when his youngest son was born. He is listed on neither the 1850 Sabine County census, nor is his death reported on the 1850 Mortality Schedule. In the Family Bible owned by Catherine Parker Fullen, thought to be a daughter in law, the following entry is found under Burials: Daddy Fullen 1850.
Even his birthdate is unknown. Presumably he would have been the same age, or older, than his wife Rebecca, who was born circa 1826. The 1850 census indicates that both Rebecca and her husband were born in Pennsylvania. As Rebecca was the only adult in the household, she probably reported this information herself. It appears that their families must have migrated to the South when they were young however. W. F. Fullen did not recall his grandparent's Pennsylvania orgins, but rather reported his grandparents born in North Carolina and Tennessee. On the 1870 census, their oldest son William reported that both his parents were both born in Pennsylvania, while his younger brother John reported them both born in Alabama. In 1900, John reported their place of birth as Tennessee.
There are other families from Pennsylvania on the 1850 Sabine County, Texas census, but none seemed to live nearby the young widow, who was in household number 81. Rebecca's closest neighbors were the Jackson and Davidson families from North Carolina and Tennessee, the Oliphant's from Mississippi, and the Smith's from Virginia. Families with Pennsylvania origins were headed by 70 year old David Welch, household #138; 70 year old George Koher, household #180; 94 year old Henry Stagner, household #191; and 90 year old Michael Widner, household #192. There were a scattering of other families from Pennsylvania as well, but none have obvious links to the Fullen's.

Also, the 1850 US Census Mortality schedule shows a James Fullen, age 43, and whose occupation was Cooper, as dying of dyspepsia in Westmoreland County, PA in 1850
James C is listed as a two year old at the time of the 1850 Sabine County census, along with this two older brothers and widowed mother. However, since neither James nor his mother can be located on any subsequent Sabine County census records, it had been long assumed that he probably died young.
Amy Fullen of Dallas, however, states that the James DID survive and grow into adulthood. In March, 2005, in response to a query from Melinda Strong, she emailed the following explanation: "According to the family bible...Rebecca or "Becky" as they called her did die in 1852, now family lore says that she did marry Solomon but that he was a mean man and she died soon after marrying him. Family lore meaning aunt Doris's husband, he is the only old timer left with us, he just turned 101 last month. Well he says that James C moved in with his uncle James and his wife as he was the youngest, this I guess would have been the brother of either James W or Rebecca, he is not sure whose brother he was, just that James lived with them and worked on their farm until he married....[Aunt Doris's husband] also has all the genealogy work that his wife did on the family and he is the source of the family bible as well." She further indicated that "I was given the bible upon...Doris's death, it seems that no one else in the family collects these as I do. That was some 15 years ago I received her treasure trove. It did not say anything about who they were, where they might be buried, or what towns they lived in, just the names and dates."
Amy had scans of the "Birth, Marriages & Burials" pages from the bible posted on her website, however the title page or publication information from the bible were note posted, so it is currently not known exactly when these names and dates were recorded, and by whom. This could account for some of the seeming discrepencies of the Bible notes with other records. Amy's website is privatized, but a password can be obtained from the site administrator. The bible scans are also reproduced in Amy's book, the "The Fullen and Post Family Genealogy Book" by Ameth Carmicheal. This is Amy Fullen's pen name. The book can be purchased from at www.lulu.com .
In early 2006, Amy posted to her website that "James C Fullen was taken in by Powell W. Fullen and his wife Sarah. This couple is seen nearby Becky and her sons on the 1850 census but on all other census records they are listed as Fuller's." It does appear, from examining the census microfilm, that Powell's last name could have been FULLEN. He is indexed by Ancestry.com as Powell FURLER, and in shown in Schuluter and Toole's 1850 census transcription as Powell FULLER. James could have lived with Powell Fullen after his Mother died in 1852. However, he is not listed with Powell and Sarah on the 1860 San Augustine County Census, or on any subsequent census records.
His birth information, as shown in the scan of BIRTHS recorded in the Fullen Bible, was as follows:
J C Fullen 1848
His marriage information, also listed under UNIONS in the Bible, is shows as follows:

His birth information, as shown in the scan of BIRTHS recorded in the Fullen bible, was as follows:
Jack 1876
The information on his draft registration for World War I shows that his full name was Jack John Fullen, and that his date of birth was February 22, 1874. He registered on September 12, 1918, and was shown as being married to Mrs. Nettie Fullen, and as a farmer in Freestone, Navarro County, Texas. His death certificate showed his DOB as February 22, 1875, and indicated his parents were Jim Fullen and Elizabeth Parker. He was listed a Farmer. The informant was Mrs. Gladys Atteberry, presumably his daughter.
Ameth Carmichael shows that Jack FULLEN married (1) Nettie COOPER and that he married (2) Mary WATKINS.

Ameth Carmicheal (Amy Fullen) notes that he married second a Mary WATKINS. I don't think this is correct. The Jack Fullen listed below was born circa 1859. The Jack Fullen listed in the census extracts above was born ca 1876. This is a significant age difference. Other sources show that the Jack Fullen below was actually Harrom Jackson Fullen, born in Comanche County (according to his family), or Tarrant County (according to his death certificate). Harrom Jackson Fullen and Mary Watkins were married ca 1874 or 1875 in Comanche or Coleman County, Texas.

The Texas Death Index has his place of death as Dallas County, Texas. Tiffany Layman instead lists the location of his death as Sulphur Springs, Hopkins County, Texas. Both show the date as September 4, 1951, shortly before his 50th birthday.
In 1910, there was a Marion Fullen, age 22, who was a carpenter and living as a boarder in the home of Lewis STONE of Tennessee in Angelina County, Texas. He was listed as married, even though no wife or children appeared to be in the home with him. This was PROBABLY a different Marion Fullen based on the age (which should have been around 28).

JOHN IRBY FULLEN, of Houston, TX joined the Lord on Feb. 17, 2004. Born in Bronson, TX, Jan. 15, 1921 to Clyde and Arlie Fullen. WWII Navy Veteran.
Survived by his wife of 50 years, Mae Fullen; son Craig Fullen & wife Linda, grandchildren Russell & Heather, Richmond, TX; and son Carey Brent Fullen of Houston. Also survived by brother Milton Fullen of Eastland, TX and numerous nieces and nephews.
Memorial service Saturday Febg. 21, 2004 at Westbury Church of Christ, 10424 Hillcroft, Houston. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to The ARC of Ft. Bend County, 3660 Glenn Lakes Lane, Missouri City, TX.
Most official documents and census records simply show him as either John Fullen or John W. Fullen. His middle name is not known with certainty.
Frances Simmons [mailto:fsimmons@ruralcomm.com], in an email dated June 10, 2000, wrote that she discovered that John's middle name was Willoughby "last year at the Fullen family reunion by looking at notes and articles they had kept. I think one article called it the James Willoughby Fullen reunion. Before that I only had James W. Fullen...." However, Danice Hurt, a direct descendant through son William Franklin Fullen, emailed in January, 2012 that "my mother (Bobbie Sue Fullen Lunsford) has always told me that his name was John Whitney Fullen. He lived with Frank & Nannie Fullen when my mother was a child. Unfortunately, so far I have been unable to find any documentation as to the middle name, your website is the first time I had heard of any other name." A third possibility is that his middle name was Whitaker, as this is the middle name of his eldest son.
John and his brother, William were orphaned sometime before 1860. They lived with their stepfather, Solomon Causey, and his new wife until the Civil War.
John was just 16 when he enlisted in the Confederate States Army in February, 1862, alongside his brother William. John served in Company F, 11th Texas Regiment, from February, 1862 through February, 1864. The 11th Texas Infantry Regiment was placed under the command of Colonel Oran M. Roberts (a later governor of Texas). The 11th was marched to Arkansas where it combined into Randal's Brigade, McCulloch's Division in September 1862. The regiment is later moved to Louisiana. They combined forces with Green's 15th and 18th Texas Infantry on November 1, 1863. The combined force went south from Opelousas, Louisiana toward Grand Coteau in what Roberts described as a "rapid and fatiguing march." The 11th was ordered forward towards the enemy by the commander of the Confederate District of Western Louisiana, Major General Richard Taylor. On November 3, 1863, they were deployed in the Battle of Bayou Bourbeau. Several companies were sent out as skirmishers. The remainder of the 11th, including Company F, were deployed on the left wing of the lines, roughly two miles south of Opelusas. The infantry force retired from the field after approximately 3 hours of combat. The 11th reported 4 killed, 15 wounded, and 32 missing. Union casualties in the whole engagement numbered approximately 716 men. On November 4, 1863, the 11th joined the rest of Walker's Division in holding the country from Simsport to Opelousa against future assaults by Union forces.
I was unable to locate John W. Fullen in Sabine County, or anywhere else, at the time of the 1870 census. It was possible he was simply missed by the enumerator due to the turmoil of the reconstruction.
John W. Fullen made an application for a Pre-emption grant of land in Sabine County on August 12, 1876. In this application he, and two witnesses (G. Guthrie and A.C. Woolam), swore that he was a bona fide settler on vacant public land, and the head of a family. Pre-emption grants were made after statehood, and from 1866 to 1898 up to 160 acres could be claimed. Homesteaders were required to live on the land for three years and make improvements (such as building a barn) in order to qualify for a pre-emption grant of 160 acres. He patented his application on December 11, 1879. In his affadavit John Fullen swore, and his two witnesses affirmed, that he had occupied the land he was claiming for three consecutive years, from Sept. 30, 1876 through the current date. Witnesses were J. P. Payne and Wm. W. Weatherred. J. P. Payne was a step-son of Thompson Allen, the grandfather of John's wife, Jane Allen Fullen. The original Sabine Preemption Grand is on file at the Texas General Land Office, File #68.
As of 1880, John was living in Bronson and working as a farmer. He and Jane had four children at the time: James, Leala (Lula), Viola, and John. Viola can be found on the actual census microfilm, but is missing from Toole and Speight's transcription of the 1880 census.
None of his children appeared to have been recorded as attending school at the time of the 1890 Scholastic census,unlike those of his brother William, who had attended school. Presumably they were needed at home to help John and Jane on the farm.
According to the Sabine County 1910 Federal Census, John and Jane Fullen had been married for 42 years. They had had 9 children, 7 of whom were still living.
In his Confederate Pension Application file, the Application for Mortuary Warrant indicates that he died of Bright's Disease (kidney disease) in the home of his son, W.F. Fullen of Bronson.
Several photos exist of John Fullen. One is a family grouping, but only he and Jane have been identified positively.

At the time of the 1930 census, a 19 year old Lonnie A. Fullen, born in Texas with a father born in Mississpppi and a mother born in Tennessee, was listed a boarder in San Patrico County, Texas, in the home of George Dalman. Lonnie's occupation was listed as "Laborer, Odd Jobs." Sharon Leamon shows his date of birth as April 17, 1911, the California Death Index instead shows April 17, 1912.
The Texas Birth index shows that a Lonnie Andrew Fullen, husband of Mary Juanita Thomas, was the father of Bobbie Andrew Fullen, born 31 January 1943 in Nueces County.

Her birth information, as shown in the scan of BIRTHS recorded in the Fullen bible, was as follows:
Minnie 1876
Ameth Carmichael shows she married W.J. SHIPP on 7-10-1889 in Leon County, Texas. This record may have been for another Minnie Fullen, as she would have only been 13 years in 1889 (and possibly even younger), and there is no indication that she moved to Leon County. There is a notation, however, in the UNIONS section of the Fullen family bible, that "Minnie and William" were wed ca 1899. William's last name is not shown.
Ameth further cites this cemetery record as Minnie's, from the Freeman Cemetery in Angelina County, Texas:
THOMPSON,Minnie V. 7-9-1882 8-11-1971
There is a Minnie V. Thompson listed on the SSDI with dates similar, but not identical, to the above listing. According to the SSDI, Minnie Thompson was born on July 9, 1880 and died on August 15, 1971. The similarities in the two sets of records make it appear as if they do indeed relate to the same person. Perhaps the cemetery information was simply recorded incorrectly. The Texas Death Index shows yet a third date of death, that of August 9, 1971.
A request was made by Melinda Strong to the Social Security Administration for a copy of Minnie's application for a Social Security Account Number. In response, the Social Security Administration mailed a copy of a "Request for E/R Action", which was the only information they had on file for Minnie. This application was filed with the Lufkin, Texas District office for purposes of making an HIB claim. Minnie was assigned 461-86-2495 as her account number. The form listed her date of birth as July 9, 1880. This would make her some four years younger than the date shown in the Fullen bible, but two years older than the cemetery records indicate. It is possible that her exact year of birth had been forgotten, even by Minnie herself. Additionally, on this application, her parents were shown as Jim FULMER and Elizabeth PARKER. It appears that she was born in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. Note that her father's last name is shown as FULMER and not FULLEN. Perhaps this was simply a transcription error.
It appears likely that Minnie Thompson is indeed the daughter of Jim FULLEN and Elizabeth PARKER, but there is still some uncertainty. Perhaps obtaining a copy of her death certificate and/or obituary would help clarify matters. Please email us if you know more about Minnie.
His Texas Death Certificate, viewable online at FamilySearch.org, Texas Deaths, 1890-1976, showed that his usual occupation was farming, and that he was married.
