Obituary Online notes for Lula Christine ALBRIGHT
Lula was the wife of Judge Warden and said to be the daughter of Dr. Daniel Bartlett Albright, also known as "Doc," and Fannie L. Thrasher.
She and Judge married in Texas - and have at least one, if not more, of their children buried there - and later moved to Oklahoma, then apparently back to Texas, and on to the Los Angeles are after the 1930 Texas Census.
At least four of their children died in California.
For years, family had very little info on what happened to Judge and the family...but the internet has finally changed that.
I have placed Lula here because of her California death and her husband's burial here. I have not seen a death certificate, yet, nor an obit. In addition, she only shows up as LULA in every record I've found of her...never Louise, Lou, or some such.
Suffice to say, contrary to Ancestry.com (which is not unusual), she did NOT die three years after her California death, and in Texas. People jump to far too many conclusions to save time, or in their excitement.
That Lula was MARRIED to an Albright and not BORN TO an Albright. [43698]

Obituary Online notes for Thomas Hilliard Judge (Spouse 1)
Judge, the son of John Warden and Martha Ann Elizabeth Duncan (John's second wife of three), was no doubt named for his maternal grandfather.
His given names are seen in any number of combinations and arrangements.
He was born in Lincoln County, Tennessee, but more likely in Mimosa than Fayetteville, as listed on his DC. Fayetteville is the very, very nearby county seat.
Judge was married to Lula C. Albright, daughter of Daniel Bennett Albright and Fannie L. Thrasher. Daniel was a pharmacist known as "Doc," and shows up with Doctor listed as his NAME...we have no indication whether or not he was a true med. I searched to see if Fannie is ever referred to as "Frances," but have not found that to be the case.
Judge, Lula, and family lived in Childress, Texas for a while, and moved on to Woodward, Oklahoma, back to Texas, and then to California...in the Long Beach/Los Angeles area.
They had at least six children; one son, born April 1900, has not been identified; nor has another child, born and died in 1902. It is possible transcriptions are off and this is the same child, as Lula indicates in 1910 that she'd had five children with four (the belowmentioned) living.
They had two boys and two girls who lived into adulthood, Bartlett Lee; Judge Dewey; Fannie Jewell; and Mayme June.
Earlier, Judge had been a stock raiser; he is listed in the 1930 (TX) and 1940 (CA) censuses as an Oil Promoter for an oil-leasing company. Likewise, his DC lists him as lessor and owner of oil lands. [43700]
