Death of Lizzie Watterson, 1910-1920, Philadelphia

[Peggy13]

I am coming to the conclusion that Lizzie Watterson nee Averell and Lily E Averell who married James B White are the same person. Lizzy is on the 1920 census as Lillian Everall, divorced. Her parents were Isaac Averell and Margaret Jane Workman.  Lily gives her parents as George Averell  and Elizabeth Workman in 1923. Says she was born in Philadelphia so her parents should be there as well but they cannot be found. Nor can Lily before 1923. Thinking that she gave the wrong first names for her parents . Then in 1934 James B White is with Jenny nee Greiss formerly Panagos whereas we have Elizabeth White nee Averill in Inglewood as per Daughter Virginia’s marriage.

Possibly Benjamin Franklin Watterson's obit might mention Lizzie is she is alive in 1944. Benjamin was the son of  Benjamin Watterson and Lizzie Averell and Benjamin the son died Feb 2, 1944 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio. If his mother Lizzie is alive, might have her residence or if she was remarried. At the very least, might mention other relatives.

Jennie Panagos nee Griess who married George Panagos in 1910 in Iowa married Will Schumacher/Shoemaker in 1915 in Montana. I don’t know who she was with until she appears with James B.White in 1934 in Nebraska then in 1938 in Chicago when James dies. I don’t know when James and Lily Averell split up. Jenny dies in 1951 in Chicago with the last name White. Can’t find James in 1930 with either wife. But I did find him in 1919 when he signed up for the military and his full name is James Bernard Benjamin White and  his residence was Cleveland Ohio at that time.
Does James B. White who died in Chicago in 1938 have an obituary?

[Peggy13]

James Bernard White who married Lily Averell had father John who was on the 1900 census. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M33W-L8Y. Although some censii say John born Wales, most say Ireland.
As per the 1910 census, John must have died abt 1901 since Katherine has been remarried to Michael Hennessy for 8 years. She is living in Pennsylvania.
Can anyone find John's death record or obit?
Also, James B. White married Mary Martin in 1900. By 1917, when he signs for the draft, he gives his mother Katherine as next of kin. What happened to Mary? I don't find James and Mary in 1910.
thanks for any help
