    --  Anonymous comment on a memorial in Find a Grave for William Edward Taylor, 5 March 2008, accessed 26 March 2018

    Dovie lived a year longer than Willie.  If this statement about a second marriage is correct, this means at some point Willie and Rowena divorced.  No divorce record has been found, except a record with matching names in North Carolina.  The location does not seem reasonable for our Willie and Rowena.  No later record is found for Rowena until her burial in Oklahoma.  Willie and his second wife Hazel are buried in a joint grave in Perkins Cemetery in Perkins, Oklahoma.
