    Agnes Elmyra is better known as Myra in later references and records.

    Some genealogies report that Myra married Charles Lee's cousin after he died.  They give the name as William Wade Cowart.  But I found that in the Atlanta City Directory he is listed as C Wade Cowart.  They wre living in the city of Decatur in 1937.

    Atlanta, Georgia, City Directory, 1937, p 341
    Cowart C Wade (Myra) brkmn r 321 Seminary dr (Decatur)

    In the 1940 census, Myra's husband is enumerated as William W Cowart.
