Biography

Mary Ann Selllers was born on Apr 19, 1885 in Texas, USA as the fourth child of John D Sellers and Elvira Jane Hinton.

She had five siblings, namely: John D., James William, Joseph Franklin, Elivra, and Bertha.

She died on Nov 02, 1905 in Duncan, Stephens, Oklahoma, USA (at home; Age at Death: 20). ^[1]

Mary Ann Selllers lived in Duncan, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory in 1900. ^[2]

Research Notes

The 1900 census has a daughter listed, named Bertha, born Dec 1891 in Texas.

The obituary for the mother, Elvira Jane, states that her husband and three children survives [i.e. J.W., Joe, and Mary Ann]. Then there was a Card of Thanks from the father and two sons published after Mary Ann died which did not mention Bertha. ^[4] This leads me to believe that Bertha had died between the 1900 census and her mother's death in Jan 1901.
