Bio

This is a memorial only; the place of burial is unknown. Due to available information about Fannie it seems logical that she was buried in the same cemetery where her parents were buried. Although census and marriage information show her name as Fannie, one researcher has identified Julia Frances as being her true name; consequently she has been given that name in this memorial. Fannie is shown in the 1900 census as being 13 years old and living with her parents in Township 5 South, Range 4 West, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory. This would have been the Cornish area of present-day Oklahoma. On September 21, 1905, according to one researcher, she was married at Simon, Indian Territory, to William Elijah Brazell. The officiating minister was Thomas Jefferson Briscoe who was both a Baptist Minister and a teacher for many years in rural schools and churches in present-day western Love County, Oklahoma, including Simon and Orr. Simon is in Love County, although the marriage is shown in the record as having been in Carter County. Simon is a short distance south of the Carter County line, although it should be noted that both Love and Carter Counties were, in 1905, part of Pickens County of the Chickasaw Nation. In 1910 Fannie and Lige (as he was apparently called) were living in Grayson Township of Jefferson County, Oklahoma. In the same household were the parents of Lige. Grayson Township is a rural area between Ringling and Waurika, Oklahoma. One researcher has stated that Fannie died April 18, 1917 at Willis in Marshall County, Oklahoma. When Lige registered for the WWI draft in 1918 he was living at Willis, at which time he had 5 children, but no indication of a wife. Thus, the 1917 date of death appears to be quite credible. In 1920 Lige is shown as living again in Grayson Township, with 5 children and his father, his mother having died in 1918 (buried in the Petersburg Cemetery in southeastern Jefferson County). The children were Henry, b. 1908; Ira, b. 1909; Lola, b. 1910; Georgia, b. 1913; and Ruby, b. 1915.
