Born:
Died: Jan 6, 1963
Other: "Entered into eternal rest"
Misc: On the 1900 Census, Amelia is shown as being born Oct 2, 1897. In 1900 she was living in the household with her grandmother, Agnes Golden (widow of Nelson Golden). Amelia was probably the daughter of Agnes' daughter Allie Golden Winn. In 1900, the 23 year old Allie was also living in Agnes' household along with her children, Henderson Winn, born in 1891 and Buna Winn, born in 1892. The census said that Allie had three children, so Amelia would make the third child for her. Only three adult males named Hulon living in Panola Co in 1900 were John, age 60 and his two sons, Horace, age 24, and Archie, age 20. These Hulons lived near the Goldens.
