Marion's birth and death is recorded in the Thomas M White family Bible. Now in the possession of a descendant still living in Bowie Co TX. Some Sources from: Death Certificate "Obituary: American Press 1912-2002; :Feb 10, 1964 MARION A.

Emma Francis "Fannie" Foster------1916 Note: 1910 Census named one of their Children William White, was only on the 1910 census, as 5 months old, the census was taken 6 May 1910, Raymond, is not on the 1910, and should have been, he was born Oct 1909... how could they have had another baby in 3 months??? I believe, William is actually, Raymond White, and could possibly be Raymond's middle name, or a mistake by the census taker. **The History of Maud United Methodist Church 1874-1974 Written by: Joe V.
