Mary Ellen Dunnigan

This is my great grandmother, Mary Ellen Dunnigan.
She was born in February of 1860 in Missouri and died February 14, 1905 in Roxton, Texas.
She married Robert Brasuell about 1894.
My grandmother always told us her mother had died giving birth. Last summer, when my sisters and I went to Paris, Texas, we found our great grandmother's death certificate. She did die from childbirth. We also found the death certificate of the baby girl who died about 20 days later. The coroner reported on the death certificate that he never actually saw the baby, only heard that it had died. The baby never saw a doctor.
