Name Merle WILSON Born 8 Feb 1917Electra, Wichita County, Texas, USA
[4]
Gender Female Died 22 Jan 2001Notes - Her U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007 entry has the following note:
“Nov 1936: Name listed as MERLE WILSON PERRY; Aug 1938: Name listed as MERLE WILSON WAGNER; Jun 1952: Name listed as MERLE FAY; Jan 1970: Name listed as MERLE FAY EDWARDS; 04 Nov 1976: Name listed as MERLE EDWARDS; : Name listed as MERLE WILSON FAY.”
She's listed as "Mrs. Merle Wagner" on her 1941 marriage license to William Fay. I'm not sure the dates on the SSA note will match up to previous marriages, but the names give research clues.
