Wille Amanda died in 1935 from heart trouble and complications from child birth. In the 1940 census Martha Ellen is married to Edgar Pierson Brown. Martha Ellen has two other children by another sur name and Edgar Calvin and Charlie are listed as stepsons. With a little research I find that Willie Amanda and Martha Ellen are sisters. Martha Ellen is a widow at the time of her sisters death. I assume Martha and Edgar marry to raise her and his children.
