Lexington Leader, Nov. 22, 1900, p. 6.
Information from Lynda F. Green to T.Mason on 16 Sep 2007. "Levi M. Dean's will and probate is also on file with the Jack Co., TX County Clerk's Office in Jacksboro, TX & the documents indicate that Emaline Bethania (Sellers) (Dean) Bruner and her #2 husband, Jacob Bruner, were the executors of Levi M. Dean's estate. They first partitioned for administration of the estate on Dec. 29, 1869 and it was finished and recorded on Oct. 31, 1871. Levi M. Dean's death date is cited in the probate papers."
RESEARCHER: Lynda Green wrote T.Mason on 4 Feb 2002. "My great-great aunt, EMALINE BETHANIA SELLERS, b. 1849 AL, d. 1931 OK, d/o DR. JOHN WARD SELLERS, b. 1825-27 AL & LYNIA JANE GODWIN, b. 1827-1830 NC, was the 2nd wife of LEVI M. DEAN & would have been the sister-in-law of your ELIZA ANN for a short few years. I found in Jack Co., TX where EMALINE (misspelled in the transcription as Berthema E.) & LEVI married on 2/1/1866 and Robert Adams HENSON FAMILY HISTORY site has where LEVI died sometime in 1869; Dave Moore's site has LEVI dying in DEC 1869 and I know that EMALINE is on the 1870 CORYELL CO., TX. census in both her father's house and her 2nd husband's house, i.e. JACOB L. BRUNER.
Thus, I feel certain that LEVI DEAN died in 1869 but I thought maybe you would have some notes, etc. that would verify if it was DEC and possibly where he might be buried or if the DEC 1869 came from the 1870 Mortality Schedule for Jack Co., or maybe from LEVI's stone?"
