Many thanks for the two posts re censu.

We had found them, but unfortunately both Meshie and Myrtle seem to have disappeared after that.

Regards

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 ??

Hi Sandra.

Thank you for your messages

Goldie, Ollie, Sullivan and Clyde are great finds, they are Myrtle's siblings. You are amazing.

It is possible that Myrtle passed away between 1959-1962.

I have received a message re a Myrtle Cooper buried in Arkansas

That is the same cemetery as Meshie's parents are buried, so am looking into that. Meshie isn't shown as being buried there. Hopefully it is her.

I only found out about this site a few days ago, joined and thought I would ask for help. I cannot believe how wonderfully helpful you are on here. You are amazing people. Thank you so much.
