After a round-about search today, I believe the following to be the scenario:

An Elmer L. Webb was living in Spokane, WA in 1958.  Spouse was May Webb.  I didn't see her name after about 1960 and I don't believe I saw her name connected with his (city directory) prior to 1956.

An Elmer L. Webb was living in Spokane and his spouse, Elsie M. Webb, were shown in directories until the late 1940s.

Washington Death Index
Elsie M Webb - 31 August 1948, Spokane

An E.L. Webb married a Mae Morgan in 1955 in Idaho
An Elmer L Webb and May Morgan are shown in Spokane Directories, from the mid-1950s to 1960.
Mae Webb, born c1884, died 1959, Spokane

Could this be your May and if so, was she married twice (the first time c1905).

Too hot outside (good excuse).

But, I better go back out again.

Thanks for the laughs.  I'm still chuckling.

Thank you!  That must be her.  I should have guessed that she snuck over to Idaho to get married; two of her sisters did the same.

Mae Webb, born c1884, died 1959, Spokane

To expand on that, from the digital archives of Washington, the image is not online, nor orderable, but there is some info:

First Name:    Mae
Last Name:    Webb
Date Of Death:    6 Oct 1959
Age:    75
Gender:    Female
Father Name:    William H. Morgan
Mother Name:    Carrie Chapman
Batch Id:    282891
Batch Locality:    Washington, United States
Death Place:    Spokane, Spokane, Washington
Mother Name Gn:    Carrie
Mother Name Surname:    Chapman


The line for spouse name, and other info is blank, (but maybe is on the original form?)

Three cheers for Lisa for finding the right Mae!  ;D
