Willie Cooper (brother of Rodell) passed away 1968
Obit does not mention Myrtle.  Has she died between Rodell in 1962 and Willie in 1968.  This obit mentions Rose Clark, Ollie Cooper and Clyde Cooper. (one sister to find - could it be Goldie ??)
Myrtle doesn't seem to appear on the SSDI which was up and running by 1962. Perhaps she passed between Sullivan Cooper in 1959 and Rodell in 1962 ??

I am trying to find the death and burial records for Myrtle Cooper, born 1892 in Louisiana USA.

Myrtle is the daughter of Henry Cooper 1863 and Eleanora Sanders 1870…

…I cannot find a marriage/death/burial for Mishie or Myrtle.

Sorry, I’m determined to find Henry and family in 1900 (still looking for a better date of birth for Myrtle, although I suppose it isn’t important now if her burial place has been found).  Is anything known about Henry, prior to his arrival in America? 

1910 census: Myrtle is with her parents in Henderson, Chester, Tennessee
1930 census: Myrtle is with her partner Meshie and 5 children in Tangipahoa, Tangipahoa, Louisiana
1950 census: Myrtle is with her partner Meshie and 4 children in Whiteville, Hardeman, Tennessee
No other census material found.

I am trying to help a fellow researcher find the death date and burial place of their relative, Myrtle COOPER (maiden name) and her partner Meshie (Meshick) COOPER.

Myrtle COOPER, born c1892 in Louisiana USA was the daughter of Henry COOPER born c1863 and Eleanora (Lora) SANDERS born c1870.

Myrtle COOPER married George BOSWELL c1891-1962 on 16 Jul 1911 in Mayfield, Graves, Kentucky.

Myrtle separated from George and went on to have a relationship with Mishie (Meshick) COOPER, born c1892 in California, USA. Myrtle and Mishie had at least the following children between the years of 1913 and 1930: Leonard, Carrie, Nelson, Spencer, James, Famie.

1910 census: Myrtle is with her parents in Henderson, Chester, Tennessee
1930 census: Myrtle is with her partner Meshie and 5 children in Tangipahoa, Tangipahoa, Louisiana
1950 census: Myrtle is with her partner Meshie in Whiteville, Hardeman, Tennessee
No other census material found.

I am unable to find a marriage for Myrtle and Meshie, neither am I able to find a death registration or final resting place for Myrtle or Meshie.

Hoping someone can help. Many thanks in advance.
