Notes: Marriage (Annie Mae Miles):
Both single. As of the 1920 census they don't have any children.
Notes: Marriage (Arthur Baxter Agee):
Their marriage record transcription says they were both single. However, Annie had been previously married, and understated her age by about 9-years. Annie is indeed the same person because her parents on both census and the marriage record are the same.
