I have found that Lillian was married to Dewey R. Sullivan. Dewey was born 1 Dec 1900 and died 16 Nov 1940 in Knox County. According to information on his death certificate, he was buried in the Rule Cemetery.
Lillian was born 14 May 1904 amd died 11 Feb 1953 in Dickens County. She, too, was buried in the Rule Cemetery.
A few months ago, someone (right now I don't remember who) told e that Dewey and Lillian were killed in car wreck in the 1940's and that they had a young son who was then adopted by another family. From their death certificates, I now know that at least part of that story was false.
They were listed on the 1930 census in Crosby County, Texas. No children were listed with them. I do not find any children born to either of them on the Texas Birth Index.
I would love an obituary for either Dewey or Lillian. Lillian's grandfather, Jeremiah Jackson, was my great grandmother's half brother.
