| Death of a sister | Celece Rosetta Pruitt before 1900 (Age 10 years) Shared note: In the 1900 Census, Neoma Angeline Pruitt (nee Beckham) reported that she had 8 children with 5 of the children still living. We can find records showing the 5 living children: Minerva Jane, Lillie Pearl, Maudie, Lonnie Franklin, and William Lester.

Further, it is assumed they were born after the parent's marriage date of 1875. |
