(On that census Arvie is enumerated as Harvey). In the April 1910 census Mossie and Arvie are living in Precinct 7, Panola Co. TX where he is working as a laborer in a saw mill. In 1910 they state they have had 4 children, all still living. In 1920 they are still in Panola Co. TX and have had more children. Mossie Minter and Arvie Minter divorced between 1920 and 1930 and the family sort of split up. She married a 2nd and 3rd time. The family said she had a marriage to a COLEMAN, then to a widower Edgar Albert RUSHING (b. 18 July 1885 d. 18 May 1965 Terrell, TX) from Kaufman Co. TX. There were many Rushing family members living in Carthage, Panola County and in Kaufman Co. TX. This 3rd marriage must not have worked out as they are both living separately in the 1930 census.

With her are her two sons ages 13 and 10, Houston and Hubert Minter. Mossie Mae's descendants describe her as a very tall woman, 5'10" or so, who had beautiful, thick, wavy dark hair which she wore long most of her life. Mossie's was a somewhat tragic life due to the fact that she suffered from severe depression most of her life, was committed several times and slept most of the time. Mossie Mae Rushing died in Seagoville, Dallas Co. TX. Mossie (Houston) (Minter) Rushing and her first husband Arvie C Minter are both buried in Corine Cemetery, Cherokee County, TX. with her as Mossie Rushing. Arvie C.
