Fannie E. Lipscomb was born 8 September 1902 in Missouri.
She died 18 February 1982 in Missouri.
Burial was in Maple Park Cemetery of Springfield, Greene County, Missouri.
Most say Fannie's middle name was Elizabeth, but I haven't found that yet. I do know she was a daughter of Mariah Sophia "Sophie" Jacobs (1887-1981) and Robert Emilius Lipscomb (1875-1962).
When she was about twenty years old, Fannie married Piercy Adolph "Pete" Massey (1898-1967), son of Mary Jane Prier and Richard Massey. This young couple had three children: Clara Maudiene Massey Gaston (1922-1998), Pauline Augustia Massey Anderson (b. 1924), and Danny D. Massey (1933-1996). The family spent many years residing on Kansas Avenue in Springfield, Missouri.
Danny, Fannie, and Piercy are all together in a family plot in Maple Park Cemetery of Springfield, Greene County, Missouri.
