    Notes:

    Mary Ellen grew up near Whitney in Hill County, Tx. Per widow of son Staton, she was very large (300 lbs.) and had several physical ailments, including Bright's disease. Per son A.T., she died of dropsy. Per same widow, all the Carter sons were hard of hearing and were good-looking, nice people. Son A.T. said she died age 39, but handwritten record said she died 1935. Son A.T. said she was about 5 feet tall (another son said 5'2"-5'3") with dark hair (another son said dark brown) and blue eyes (another son said gray or blue eyes). She had small feet and hands and medium fair skin. None of her children with whom I spoke remembers her ever talking about her father, who died before they were born.
    She is buried at Greenwood, Old East Waco cemetery. Was told her funeral was heavily attended because she knew everyone in East Waco and was well liked.

    Mary married Thomas Cruse Coates on 3 Apr 1904 in McLennan County Texas. Thomas was born in 1881; died in 1940 in Waco, Mclennan, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
