    3. Jann, The lady who was killed by falling from the train on October 18, 1921 was Mattie A. TULLEY (TULLY). She is listed in the Arkansas Death Record Index 1914 - 1923, page 506 as M. A. TULLEY.....date of death 10/18/21 Drew Co., AR. According to the Census, she was not as old as the reporter thought. She would have been 69 or 70 at the time of the accident. In the 1920 Census of Veasey Twp., Drew Co., AR living on the Monticello - Hamburg Road in Household 219, is Mattie A. Tulley. She is listed as Mother, age 68, Widow, Born Louisiana....in the household of Lula L. Carpenter, age 35, Widow, born Arkansas. Lula Carpenter's children were James age 13, Lula P. age 11 and Gladis D. age 9. At the top of that page (13A) there is Lela G. Tully (note the "e" doesn't appear here) age 8 and her brother William A. Tully age 4 1/12. Their parents are on the preceding page...(12B) and are John S. TULLY and his wife whose name appears to be Miles E. (Elizabeth in 1930 Census) with children John B. (Burl), Leroy and Maida M.. John S. Tully was most likely a son of Mattie A. Tulley (Tully) and brother of Lula L. Carpenter, though I have not found Mattie A. Tulley (TULLY) with a husband and family in either Arkansas or Louisiana. John S. Tully's daughter, Lela Gladys TULLY married Lemuel Addison WELLS, Sr.. Burl (John Burl) TULLY a brother of Gladys TULLY Wells died in Benton, Saline Co., AR and another brother, Leroy TULLY, died in Little Rock, Pulaski Co., AR. Carolyn
