I have a Bible that belonged to Fannie Lucas. There is a not in it that reads" My mother Mrs. Mary Broz passed away quietly Sept 19, 1954 at 7:30 p.m. at our home. She was bed ridden 10 weeks, those weeks my husband and I cared for her until death" (signed) Fannie and Harrison Lucas. Texas death records list a Mary Tomek Broz, date of death 09-19-1954 in Harris Co., TX Certificate # 45018. The Bible was given to Fannie 01-1926 by Rev. & Mrs. McManas from Crosby Baptist Church. My uncle who was a Baptist minister for many years in Baytown, Harris Co., TX had the bible. He said Crosby Baptist church was in the Baytown area. There is also a book of Psalms. There is not any family info in the bible but I thought some family member might like to have it, with the note from Fannie in her handwriting. Fannie may have been a nickname for Mrs. Harrison and I do not know if she was a Broz or a Tomek. According to the 1930 Census Mary Broz (b. abt 1876) was living with her son Frank Tomek age 20 (who is listed as the head of the household) and her daughter Lilly Broz age 12 and son Jerry Broz age 8. They were living in Precinct 3, Harris CO., TX. Fannie was probably already married and not living with them. If this sounds like some of your relatives please respond here or directly to me (
