I believe this is Goldie COOPER who married (no marriage reg found) William (Billy Billie) HARRISON:

1930 census: White River, Prairie, Arkansas
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/85842561:6224?ssrc=pt&tid=966025&pid=272508051899

1940: Winchester, Drew, Arkansas
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/99363389:2442?ssrc=pt&tid=966025&pid=272508051899

Buried in 1956 Memphis, Shelby, Tennessee with her son Billy HARRISON Jr. 1933-1972

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 ??

Thanks Sandra.

I believe this is the obituary for Goldie's husband William (Billy) HARRISON. It looks as if he married again. Source: Evansville Press, Indiana · Monday, February 13, 1961

It seems several people here have info on my great grandmother Myrtle Cooper who is the daughter of Henry C. and Lora Sanders Cooper. My grandmother was adopted but DNA has confirmed Myrtle and George Boswell were her parents. I'd like to know more about her life and if she had other children. I've found a photo through a contact a photo that included Jimmy Kelley, Merillia "Cookie" Kelley Cooper (who married Myrtle's brother Rhodell), Myrtle, and her brother Willie. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
