Our distant cousin, Lucretia Victoria Runyan married David D. Mullenix who was born in 1883 in Seymour, Iowa. He and his wife both died in Sumner Co., KS and are buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, South Haven, of that county.
They had a daughter, Fernette, who I have no information about....and a son, William "Bill" who was born in 1911 in South Haven, Sumner Co., KS. He died in 1984.
Bill had a son named Merle who went by the nickname, "Corky," according to my information. In the 1950's he worked at KWBB radio station in Wichita, Sedgewick County, KS....and last he was heard from, he was living in Florida.
If you have any information about this family, I would like to hear from you.
I do have one other lead.....Jospeh Mullenix/Mullenax and Abigail Phares had a son, Jacob Phares Mullenix born 1853 in WV.
He married Cynthia Phillips who was born in 1852 in Iowa.
Jacob died in 1907 in Hunnewell, Sumner Co., KS. I have found a source that lists 4 children for this couple:
Joseph, 1877
Augusta, 1881 who died in 1935 also in Hunnewell
Etta, 1884 born in Hunnewell and died in Oakland, CA. 1949.
Frank, 1886.
I live just a few miles from Hunnewell and South Haven, both in Sumner County, KS. These are both very small towns..no more than a few blocks wide and long and they are neighboring communities.
I think David should fit into this family line of Jacob.
What is the chance of two unrelated Mullenix families living in such small towns in the same timeframe? This is a very uncommon name, and I think they had to be related.
I am waiting to hear from someone with some kind of information about this family line.
