To Anna Cotter: I found Myrtle Nipper's death record, part of which you already knew. The database is North Carolina Death Records, 1993-1996 Name: DAVENPORT, MYRTLE NIPPER. Date of Birth: June 02, 1898 Death Date: April 21, 1993 Age: 94 Years Place of Occurance: , Buncombe, North Carolina, Burial in state Place of Residence: . Buncombe, North Carolina, Marital Status: Widowed State of Birth: Tennessee, Social Security Number: 229-26-6768 Fathers Surname: NIPPER I also found Mont McNeely's death record in Kentucky: He died Oct. 5, 1952 in Graves Co. at the age of 82 yrs. Vol. #52, Cert.# 20870 Also, there were several marriages in Tn. from 1890-1898, the possible period of time for Teak & Myrtle's parents. NIPPER, ALEXANDER married RAYDER, LILLIE 10/04/1898 in Roan County, TN NIPPER, CHARLEY married NARRAMORE, SALLIE 07/10/1891 in Sequatchie County, TN I would probably try to get Myrtle's death certificate and application for Social Security Number. There should be some helpful information on both documents, including her parents names. Once you get the names, you can search further. I hope this helps. MargoBelle
