Minnie Fullen

1882 - 1971  (~ 95 years)

• Name	Minnie Fullen  [1, 2]
  Born	Between 1876 and 1882	Sabine County, Texas   [1, 3]
  Gender	Female
  Died	Aug 1971	Angelina County, Texas
  Notes	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.
