Info about Etta Mae Rushing born: 1889, Tishomingo, Johnston County, Ok?

Question:Etta Mae Rushing B. June 24, 1889 D. Unknown date in Washington, McClain County, Oklahoma. She married Marvin William Crawford December 10, 1908 in Madill, Marshall County, Oklahoma. He was born August 14, 1885 in Polk County, Arkansas and died March 04, 1962 in Norman, Oklahoma.

Etta was supposed to be a sister to Edward Franklin Rushing (1880-1971) Texas. but she was born the same year as another brother Albert J. Rushing born in Jan. 1889. (same year). I found Ed's other siblings in Texas census 1900.10.20. but she is not with the family. So who is her real Mother and father? where are they in 1900,10,20. Thanks so much if you can help.

PS. The assumed father and mother was John H. Rushing and Harriet Lee Beard (Rushing, Lynch) of the 1880 Erath County, TX census. J. H. Rushing was a son of Preston and Lucinda Rushing from McNairy County, TN to Bryan County, OK.

(Note: If Etta married Marvin in 1908, of course, she wouldn't be listed with her own family in Tex in the 1910 census, especially if she and Marvin were living in Oklahoma. I could find neither Marvin nor Etta in the 1920 census in Oklahoma. I found where he died there in 1962, so maybe they lived elsewhere in between. Also, could she have died between those years of 1910 and 1920, for instance in childbirth??
As for Albert, you will notice above that his last name is listed as Lynch-Rushing. Harriet was shown to have 2 husbands. I also saw her listed as "Harriet Lee Hattie Beard", and I do not think that Hattie is a nickname for Harriet. Perhaps they were twins??)

Was she the lone delegate for John Connolly?

Possibly something interesting. It appears that Edward Franklin Rushing (who you believe to be the brother) had a DAUGHTER named Edna Mae Rushing and Edward's wife was Etta (would have been Etta Rushing after marriage).

Is it possible you might be getting Edna Mae Rushing (edward's daughter) and/or Etta (edward's wife) mixed up in this with the result being this "Etta Mae Rushing" being a presumed SISTER of Edward?

Start here since you are fairly sure she died in McClain Co, Oklhoma try and locate a obit if one was written, or find a burial record some will have the parents names listed if the person they asked knew her parents.

Do you know if she was buried with her husband in Norman, Oklahoma?

The answers are there we just need to focus on the right areas to find it.
