Notes

Mollie probably married Theodrick around 1880 in Texas, since Theodoric was born in Harris County, Texas and the Furr family was living in Bastrop, Texas during the 1880 US Census. My sister, Dana, and I searched for Mollie's obituary at the Houston Public Library on February 1, 2014. We found the obituary in both the Houston Chronicle and the Houston Post; however, the text was very difficult to read on the microfiche. The microfiche reader saves the picture to a USB card, but the file was (unfortunatly) corrupted. I'm glad I wrote down most of the text. I was mainly trying to get the surviving names (especially the women's married names).
