claim:myrtis-blanche-brabham:name:1nameMyrtis Blanche Brabham Mixon

Family notes give a July 24, 1887 birth date; the Mixon Cemetery index supports the working 1949 death year. Exact death date and direct parent-child proof remain open.

claim:myrtis-blanche-brabham:birth:1birthbirth · July 24, 1887

The shared MIXON marker states “MYRTIS BLANCHE BRABHAM — JULY 24, 1887” outright, checked by its age line, and the family notes give the same day; the tier-2 cemetery index supports the year. No place is entered: her memorial’s “Forrest County, Mississippi” is a modern-jurisdiction gloss, the county having been created in 1908, twenty-one years after her birth. Supported: a family-placed monument is tier 3 and Mississippi has no 1887 birth registration.

claim:myrtis-blanche-brabham:death:1deathdeath · February 14, 1949 · Pike County, Mississippi

The shared marker states “FEB. 14, 1949” outright and its age line (“AGE, 61 YRS. 6 MOS. 21 DAYS.”) checks it, so the day no longer has to be derived by arithmetic; the tier-2 index gives the 1949 year only. The place is Pike County at county precision, as her memorial’s field gives it. Supported, not confirmed: a family-placed monument is tier 3 and her 1949 Mississippi death certificate is request-only.

claim:myrtis-blanche-brabham:parent-of:1parent-ofparent-of Tynes Emery Mixon Sr.

Documented tier-3 compiled chain: the Find a Grave contributor links William Bennie Mixon and Myrtis Blanche Brabham Mixon as the parents of Tynes Emery Mixon and William Hilton Mixon, each memorial linking the others, and the Mixsonian surname compilation states independently that “Tynes Emory Mixon, son of William Benjamin H. and Myrtis Brabham Mixon, was b. in LA”. Reconstructed, not supported: no source that is itself a record names the relationship. The record check is documented — Tynes's 1906 Louisiana birth index entry and the 1910 Amite County census household of William B. with a son Tynes (question:tynes-mixon-sr:birthplace, question:william-bennie-mixon:parents-and-children); the Mississippi death certificates of 1949 and 1962 name each decedent's parents and are request-only.

Conflicts and open questions

  • Question question:william-bennie-mixon:parents-and-children (open)

    Who were William Bennie Mixon's parents (two compiled sources pair him with J.T. Mixon and Mary Pauline Travis, whose given name is “Mary Parlee” in the family notes and “Mary P” in the marriage index; a handwritten note names his mother as Ann Brabham, née Hurst), were Alvin, Millard and Eda his siblings — their compiled counterparts are Alva Z. (1890–1974), Millard John (1892–1964) and Etta Selena (1880–1957) — and is Tynes Emery Mixon Sr. his and Myrtis Blanche Brabham's son?

    Next: Read the 1900 Amite County census images, which MSGenWeb publishes complete but unindexed, for the Beat around the Mixon Cemetery (about 31.13 N, 90.57 W): a household of J.T. Mixon holding a son “William B., Dec 1884” with Etta, Alva and Millard would settle the parent link and the sibling list as enumerated, and would show whether any “Ann” lived there. Then the 1910 household of William B. with a son Tynes, and the Mississippi death certificates of Myrtis (1949) and William Bennie (1962), each of which names the decedent's parents (request only). On the Ann Hurst note, two negatives of 2026-10-08 hold: no Hurst and no Brabham grave in the 80-row cemetery list, and no Brabham–Hurst marriage in either direction in the Amite index. The one observation worth testing is that Myrtis's own sister Louella E. Brabham (1881–1981) married a Hurst, which may be the origin of a garbled “Ann Brabham, née Hurst”; it is a possibility to test against the census, never a claim, and no person is created to fit the note.
