Research Notes* Martha Ann (Cornwell) Charles did not die on 8 October 1936 as reported on her Find a Grave memorial page. Martha was still living in September of 1940 when her husband, William A. Charles, died, and she was also still living on 25 April 1944 when her brother, James W. Cornwell, died. We suspect "our" Martha may have been confused on Find a Grave with Martha Wineinger Charnes, who did die on 8 October 1936 and was also buried in Ames Chapel Cemetery.13,8,9,10,12,14
